IN THE NEWS

If you currently operate an independent janitorial or cleaning business, you already know the challenges of staying competitive, managing operations, and finding new customers in a crowded marketplace. While independence offers flexibility, it can also come with limitations—especially when it comes to scalability, resources, and brand recognition. For many business owners, the path to real growth begins with a smart pivot: transitioning from independent to franchise.

Joining a franchised commercial cleaning network like Modern Cleaning can take your business to the next level by unlocking access to proven systems, national support, and a recognizable brand that inspires customer confidence.

Tap into a Trusted National Brand

Modern Cleaning is backed by GDI Integrated Facility Services, Canada’s largest cleaning company. This brand power immediately sets you apart and can open doors. When you transition into a Modern Cleaning franchise, your business becomes part of a national standard of service excellence. Potential customers are more likely to trust a provider backed by a reputable, professional brand.

In short, you move from pitching like a small player to competing like a major force in your local market.

Access Systems That Streamline Growth

Running a business means juggling everything from staffing and training to sales, invoicing, and quality control. As a Modern franchisee, you gain access to streamlined systems and tools designed to take the pressure off your day-to-day operations. These include:

• Advanced scheduling and reporting platforms
• Real-time service tracking with tools like FotoFinish
• Efficient estimating and billing solutions
• Access to national vendor pricing and buying power

These tools not only save you time—they elevate the professionalism and scalability of your business.

Get Comprehensive Training and Ongoing Support

One of the biggest advantages of joining a franchise is the depth of training and support that comes with it. Modern Cleaning provides business owners and their teams with comprehensive onboarding, plus ongoing mentorship and coaching. Whether you need help with sales, customer retention, hiring, or new service lines, you’re never on your own.

As part of a larger network, you also gain access to peer-to-peer learning, which can be invaluable as you grow.

Win Bigger Contracts with Confidence

Many large commercial customers require more than just a mop and bucket—they expect accountability, reporting, and consistency. Independent operators often struggle to win and retain these larger accounts. As a Modern Cleaning franchisee, you’ll be equipped with the credibility and resources needed to confidently pursue and secure bigger, long-term contracts.

The result? A more stable revenue base, improved customer retention, and a stronger reputation in your market.

Preserve Your Independence—While Gaining a Competitive Edge

Investing in a franchise doesn’t mean giving up your business—it means enhancing it. As a Modern franchisee, you still lead your operations, manage your team, and attract and serve your customers—but with the full backing of an established brand and a blueprint for growth.

If you're ready to scale your independent cleaning business and compete at the next level, a Modern Cleaning franchise may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Let’s grow—together.
