When someone mentions a cleaning franchise, most people have a preconceived notion about what type of work will be done.  They immediately think of cleaning commercial properties like office buildings, schools, churches, restaurants or stores. And they think about what that would be like.  No one really likes to clean; it’s something that has to be done.  If someone is thinking about owning a franchise, they don’t want to take on a task that they don’t like.   But there is a type of cleaning franchise that runs contrary to the opinions that most people have.  This low cost franchise does involve cleaning, just not in the traditional sense. The franchise I am talking about is from the Service Team of Professionals (S.T.O.P.).  S.T.O.P. franchises go beyond cleaning. These franchises don’t just clean, they restore.  There is a distinct difference and that difference can mean a lot of money for you. Traditional cleaning franchises just clean.  It’s something that almost anyone can do and the market for cleaning franchises is competitive.  Franchises that focus on restoration have a better chance of succeeding.  Restoration services are needed just as much as cleaning services, but they are not as well represented in the marketplace.  This is where your profits will come from.  Every time a fire, flood or major disaster occurs, there will be an opportunity for you to profit.  You will be able to go in and bring back the life that people once lived.  And you will make a difference not just in your life, but theirs as well.  So the next time you think of a cleaning franchise, broaden your mind and consider the other franchises that do more than clean.
