Jani-King International is searching for just such ambitious individuals and companies to develop franchisee networks utilising its highly successful concept that has been replicated by over 10,000 franchisees worldwide. Having been established for over 35 years, Jani-King has become a franchise industry leader and was this year recognised by Entrepreneur magazine as the 'Number One' US Home-based franchise and placed in the top 10 of all franchises alongside such brands as Subway, 7-Eleven Inc. and Dunkin' Donuts.

"Jani-King began expanding to internationally via Master Franchising in 1986, and has developed an exclusive 20-year agreement (renewable for 100 years total) to operate Jani-King's proven 33-year-old programme in a defined territor," reveals Vice President of Franchising Gary Dick. "The Master Franchisee establishes regional offices throughout the territory that sell individual Jani-King unit franchises, train the franchisees, and secure cleaning contracts for them.

"Every Master Franchisee receives extensive initial and ongoing training, plus a start-up kit that includes training videos, operating & maintenance manuals, advertising & promotional materials, uniform merchandising materials and various business forms."

Jani-King's initial training for Master Franchisees includes classroom sessions and personal observation. "One of our Master Franchise Development Advisors then conducts on-site training at the Master Franchisee's local office," adds Gary Dick. "The Development Advisor helps the new business owner establish the first regional office, conducts the first unit franchisee training class and prepares the new Master Franchisee to run all of the operations on his or her own.

"Long-term relationships with Master Franchisees are maintained through regular communication, periodic visits, annual meetings, monthly newsletters and sales contests." Initial investment requirements for Master Franchise licences start from US$250,000, and no cleaning industry background is required.
