Commercial Customers
Are You:
- Wanting to make the right decision in
establishing your own commercial
cleaning franchise?
- Unsure of the risks in starting your
commercial cleaning franchise from scratch?
The right franchise will reduce
that risk, giving you a valuable measure of stability and the
benefit of a recognized trading name. The ServiceMaster Contract
Cleaning franchise provides you with a unique package, where each
facet complements and enhances your ability to
succeed.
Franchisees want to work for themselves, but not
by themselves. The franchise system takes the risk out of failure.
In 1976 when ServiceMaster became a founder member of the British
Franchise Association there were seven franchise companies, today
there are over nine hundred; this growth has happened for a very
good reason, franchising works.
Who are ServiceMASTER
Clean – Contract Services?
ServiceMaster, started in the UK in 1959, became
a full and founder member of the British Franchise Association when
it was formed in 1976. It supports six different franchise types
and four different brands, Merry Maids, Furniture Medic, TruGreen

Your Role as A
Franchisee
Owning a ServiceMASTER Contract Services
business means being part of the largest most experienced, most
successful professional commercial cleaning organisation in
the world! With independent businesses operating in many
countries around the globe, the wealth and depth of experience at
the fingertips of ServiceMASTER associates is second
to none.
Unlike many of our competitors in franchising we
do not get the business for you, nor invoice the customers, or
collect the cash, we do not run the payroll or complete your
administration, we train you to do all of this yourself and the
fees are commensurate with the work we do for you, management fees
start at 7% and reduce to 3%, many of our franchisees pay 3% fees
when they reach over £1,000,000 in feeable revenue, the bigger
you grow the less your fees become, compare this with our
competitors who regularly charge from 10% to 20%. If you are
looking to buy a job see one of our competitors, if you are looking
to build a business see us.
