Q: Can you tell us about the business model for an Anago Cleaning Systems franchise? How do your Master Franchisees make money?

A: The Anago Master Owner has the exclusive developmental rights to sell Janitorial or Unit Franchises in a defined territory. Simultaneously, the Master sells cleaning contracts, business to business, within the territory, and assigns them to those who purchased a Unit Franchise. The Master Owner is a white collar business executive, who is NOT in the cleaning business – he/she is in the sales & marketing business. The Master Franchise Model has 12 primary revenue streams. The Master collects royalty, administration, advertising and insurance fees for all janitorial contracts assigned to the Unit Franchisee. When the Unit wants additional contracts, above what was purchased in their initial program, the Master collects a commission fee, comprised of a down payment and note payment. The possibilities are endless!
