IN THE NEWS

When considering a franchise in the commercial cleaning industry, it's important to recognize the different types of franchise models available and how they align with your personal goals, skills, and risk tolerance. At Modern, we provide a unique approach by offering both owner/operator unit franchises and territory franchises, catering to entrepreneurs with diverse ambitions.

The Unit Franchise Model

Many of our competitors in the cleaning industry operate under an owner/operator model. In this arrangement, the franchisor takes on the responsibility of acquiring customer contracts, often on a national or regional scale. As a franchisee, your primary responsibility is to provide cleaning services to the customers’  locations that the franchisor supplies. You’re purchasing the rights to a defined location, and your role is solely focused on fulfilling service contracts that have already been established by the franchisor.

This model offers a more structured, stable entry into business ownership. It’s a great fit for individuals who may be more risk-averse or prefer to focus on the operational aspects of running a cleaning business rather than the challenges of marketing and sales. It also provides a steady stream of work, without the necessity to continually seek out new customers. Essentially, it allows franchisees to work by themselves or a smaller team and focus on cleaning and operations while leaving the sales and marketing to the franchisor.

This model, however, is limited by the total number of locations that will be brought to you by the franchisor.

The Territory Franchise Model: A True Entrepreneurial Opportunity

At Modern we emphasize the value of entrepreneurship. Our territory franchise model is designed for individuals who seek more control over their business growth and greater financial upside. With this model, you’re building your own business with the support and superior systems that Modern has to offer.

With a territory franchise, you are responsible for your own marketing, customer acquisition, and team building. This means that while there is greater risk involved, the potential rewards are much higher. You can scale your business based on your ambition, skillset, and effort. Franchisees in this model have the autonomy to set their growth trajectory, whether that means focusing on a select number of customers or expanding into a larger operation with a broader team and customer base.

Modern supports you with a proven business system and the backing of GDI Integrated Facility Services, Canada’s largest cleaning company. GDI created Modern over 25 years ago to meet the needs of customers operating in distributed networks, such as retail chains, healthcare, and corporate offices. The reputation for service excellence and the resources provided allow franchisees to leverage advanced technology, best practices, and industry-leading training.

Why Choose a Modern Territory Franchise?

Our territory franchise model isn’t for everyone, but for those who have the entrepreneurial spirit and are willing to take on the responsibilities of growing their own customer base, it offers unmatched potential. By becoming a Modern franchisee, you gain access to:

• Proprietary technology like FotoFinish, which allows for daily visibility and transparency in service delivery.
• Professional training for you and your team to ensure service standards.
• Ongoing innovation in equipment, chemicals, and processes to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

Additionally, we offer trust through transparency, backed by our advanced reporting systems and mobile applications. These tools allow franchisees to not only manage their operations more effectively but also provide clients with the visibility and confidence they require to ensure top-tier cleaning services.

Choosing the Right Path

At Modern, we understand that every entrepreneur has a unique vision for their business. Whether you prefer the stability of the owner/operator model or the expansive opportunities of the territory franchise, we have options tailored to your aspirations. The key is to choose the model that aligns with your goals, experience, and appetite for risk.

For those ready to embrace a true entrepreneurial opportunity, our territory franchise model is the ideal choice. It offers you the freedom to grow your business on your terms, backed by the expertise, resources, and reputation of Modern and GDI.
