At first, you might think that restarting your business as pandemic restrictions ease is as simple as reopening your doors: you choose a date, tell your employees to return to the office, and conduct business as usual. Unfortunately, reopening your business or facility isn’t that easy—and following new safety precautions and easing employee concerns will require time, effort, and professional support.

Meet Coverall's Franchise Business Owner Tholes Bocicot

There are many reasons to consider franchise business ownership in 2021. Perhaps you’ve dreamed about starting your own business, or maybe you’ve recently found yourself out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Safety in the workplace tops many companies’ priority lists for 2021. In following the CDC’s COVID-19 workplace guidelines, you will need to enable social distancing while also keeping your workplace as free of germs as possible.

Your experience with owning a Coverall® cleaning franchise business matters to us. We provide considerable training and support, and truly want each franchise business owner to feel like they have everything they need to help run their business with confidence.

When it’s time to restart your business following COVID-19 closures, or to return to full capacity, you want to do it right. Restart strong to show your resilience and bring back your customers.

One of the best parts about starting a commercial cleaning franchise business is you don’t need experience with cleaning or running a business. People from all backgrounds find their place in commercial cleaning. With the right training and support, you will have the tools to effectively operate your own business. Most new franchise business owners find the process rewarding and exciting, and sometimes even surprise themselves with newfound aptitudes. Let’s take a look at the duties of running a commercial cleaning business, so you can understand what to expect as an independent business owner.
 

When preparing your business’ budget, every dollar counts. If you need to reduce expenses, you look to cut anything that doesn’t feel completely necessary. Commercial cleaning services might be one place where you think you can cut back. However, it is more important than ever. As a compromise, some businesses assign their own employees to take on cleaning and sanitizing duties. If you’re considering that choice, take the time to think through all the pros and cons, which we will break down here.

As an employer, you benefit from keeping up employee morale and wellbeing. While most leaders realize that happy employees are more productive, research actually backs this up. However, it hasn’t been the easiest year for a lot of businesses. Employees in all industries report feeling more stressed than ever before. Many are worried about COVID-19 and all that goes with it: changes with their kids’ schooling, fear of losing their jobs, and keeping themselves and their families healthy and safe.
