ServiceMaster Clean Franchises

ServiceMaster Clean started out small. In 1929 its parent company, ServiceMaster, began as a moth-proofing service, owned and operated by Marion E. Wade. Nearly twenty years later, when it was incorporated, the business could only speak for about six employees and an annual earnings flowing in at no more than $130,000. Indeed, it was a far cry from the empire that it has become today; with yearly revenue exceeding $7.8 billion, the ServiceMaster Company has over 50,000 direct employees and management of nearly 200,000 others. Its number of worldwide licensed outlets totals about 5,400, and ServiceMaster Clean alone boasts a whopping 4,500 franchises around the world.

Yet in addition to a savvy marketing plan, the owners of ServiceMaster Clean are dedicated to the quality human touch that makes a business worth working for. In fact, they have outlined a set of guidelines based on their religious conviction that employees should be treated with dignity and respect. By maintaining faith, so say the edicts of this business outlook, they intend to help employees perform their best, achieve great results and grow with the increased profit of the company.

From very early on, it was this philosophy that guided Wade through his first major expansion to carpet cleaning. This taking place in 1952, there was no turning back as the company charged into the realm of franchise business. From the 1960\'s and on into the 1980\'s the company developed contracts in hospitals, and later in the schools. It was this innovative strategy of attaining contract labor which later came to be known as outsourcing. It proved an effective business strategy which allowed the company to dramatically branch out with its operations while cutting costs that would otherwise have hindered its growth into the new markets it was pursuing.

In conjunction with the advantages of outsourcing, the use of franchise marketing helped with the empire building that ServiceMaster Clean was able to take charge of. The franchise model played a powerful role when it came to making the latest plunge into the residential market. Now ServiceMaster Clean operates as America\'s Number One home cleaning service, and is also proud to specialize in the cleaning needs of those whose homes or businesses have been damaged by things such as fire, water and smoke.

The excellent reputation the ServiceMaster Clean has developed for over fifty years stands alone as a great reason for ambitious entrepreneurs in the cleaning industry to consider entering into a franchise relationship with ServiceMaster Clean. In addition to this great name recognition, franchisees will be able to take advantage of a wide variety of affiliates that have networked with ServiceMaster Clean in order to deliver the right service to customers. These companies include Merrry Maids, American Home Shield, AmeriSpeci, Terminix and TruGreen-ChemLawn.

Yet one of the best benefits yet to starting a cleaning franchise with ServieMaster Clean is the exceptionally low cost of switching over to the ServiceMaster Clean name. For already-established cleaning business, buying the ServiceMaster Clean name can cost as little as $6,000.
