Jani-King International Franchises

As with any janitorial service, Jani-King comes from humble beginnings. However, unlike most others, something dramatic has happened to this company since it first started operating in 1968. That\'s because the strong work ethic and business savvy of its original founder Jim Cavanaugh was able to point the company in the direction of immense commercial success.

Cavanaugh was actually studying at the University of Oklahoma when the idea first came to him that, for as long as lived, there would never cease to be a need for quality janitorial services for major buildings that housed office space, hospital rooms or hotel suites. After banding together a core group of friends to help clean rooms by night, Cavanaugh used the daytime hours to market his up and coming enterprise. After only a year\'s time the brand name Jani-King was on the books and by 1974 the business was ready to franchise.

Today, the clientele of Jani-King is all commercial, and the company contracts out to franchisees that already have somewhat of an established customer base, charging fees according to the volume of this base. Currently, Jani-King\'s headquarters are set up in Dallas, Texas. However, the organization boasts over 100 local offices around the world. With the number of franchise owners reaching upwards of 9,000 at the moment, Jani-King serves customers in the United States, Canada and countless other countries.

The types of facilities that Jani-King franchisees tend to service include retail stores, resort and hotel lodging, car repair centers, biotech and high tech facilities, schools, hospitals, banking firms, restaurants, stadiums and more. Jani-King workers are able to cater to such a wide variety of commercial clients because they are sure to cover essential cleaning needs that any and all of these industries require from their janitorial services. These basic features of a typical Jani-King team include the ability to do carpet cleaning, disposal of trash, washing windows, care for hard-surface floors, clean walls and perform other high end specialty services for clients\' individualized cleaning needs. The service is usually administered daily, weekly or monthly on a regular and dependable schedule throughout the year.

Starting up a franchise with the highly-regarded Jani-King name is easier than one might expect. This is especially the case for those who have experience in janitorial work and who have already spent some time developing a client base. Aside from these aspects it is also a worthwhile considering the extremely low cost of the initial franchise fee. Depending upon the area and the client base involved, it costs anywhere from $10,000 to $35,000 to buy up the use of the Jani-King name and the great advantages that come with it. Some of these advantages include the support of a great and well-known name in the cleaning industry and a proven history of establishing successful franchises throughout the world.

Another testament to the quality of Jani-King\'s franchising operation\'s is the recent high rating it received in one of the most reputed magazines for franchise news and review. In addition, Jani-King continues to make sure its franchises - both old and new alike - are well set up by providing leadership, education and even business development consulting. That\'s because the company is committed to seeing the success of every franchise that bears its name.
