Coverall® Franchise Frequently Asked Questions
Does Coverall offer financing to Franchise Businesses?
Yes. At Coverall, our goal is to help and support Franchise Business Owners to the best of our abilities. Part of this support includes in-house financing options, which can be discussed during a franchise business presentation. The application process for financing is straightforward and offers an excellent path to business ownership, even for those without extensive credit history.
How can I learn about Coverall Franchise Business opportunities?
The best way to learn about Coverall commercial cleaning franchise opportunities is to contact us for more information. We can walk you through the proven roadmap we’ve used to help Franchise Business Owners for nearly four decades.
How is a franchise business different from other business models?
Coverall offers unparalleled support for our Franchise Business Owners. We provide our network with comprehensive training in our Core 4® Cleaning Process, a proprietary service model designed using CDC and AORN standards as guidelines. Additionally, each Coverall Franchise Business Owner is supported by a local Coverall Support Center.
How much does it cost to have a cleaning franchise?
Buying into a franchise offers lower startup costs and more affordable operating costs than starting a business from scratch. You’ll also be able to avoid large up-front expenses like high-cost long-term leases and inventory storage. When you become a Coverall Franchise Business Owner, you avoid costly business requirements like branding strategy, marketing asset development and similar expenses. A Coverall franchise business offers various franchise packages to choose from which can be discussed with a franchise representative.
What experience do I need to run a Coverall Franchise Business?
No previous experience is necessary to get started with a Coverall franchise business. Although commercial cleaning requires specific knowledge of techniques, materials and best practices, Coverall provides extensive and ongoing training to Franchise Business Owners to create the best chances for success.
What is a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)?
A Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is a legal disclosure document that must be provided to individuals looking to purchase into a franchise. This document must be provided prior to the sale, and it must contain specific items of information related to the franchise in question, its officers and other Franchise Business Owners. See the Federal Trade Commission site for more information.
What is a Janitorial Franchise Agreement (JFA)?
A Janitorial Franchise Agreement (JFA) is the contract an individual must sign in order to purchase a Coverall franchise business. This document explains what you as a Franchise Business Owner can expect from Coverall as well as what Coverall requires from you. The JFA and the Franchise Business Policies and Procedures Manual are the ruling documents for your Franchise Business.
Why do I have to wait 14 days to purchase a Franchise Business?
Receipt of the Franchise Disclosure Document is governed by a 14-day rule. This rule requires Coverall to give a prospective Franchise Business Owner 14 days to review the FDD and either reconsider or continue the purchasing process.
Will I have a flexible schedule as a Franchise Business Owner?
Coverall Franchise Business Owners are in charge of their own business schedules and set their own hours. However, Coverall Franchise Business Owners service a wide range of facility types, and it’s important to keep in mind that many customers will request “off hours” services for their businesses. Many of these times will be outside of typical 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours. Each Franchise Business Owner will be responsible for balancing their personal schedules with customer needs.
Do I need to find my own cleaning clients?
Coverall has an active marketing program, continuously working to identify new commercial cleaning clients for our Franchise Business Owners. After you complete your training, you will have the opportunity to purchase accounts in your area. You can also seek clients and Coverall will facilitate getting a contract in place for them.
Will I need to hire employees?
Many Franchise Business Owners start out with just themselves, or with a partner such as a spouse or family member. After you get your business going, you can grow at your own pace, and you may eventually decide to create jobs and add employees — ultimately, it’s up to you!
How can I know if I’m ready for franchise ownership?
If you’re looking for a job change, an opportunity where you can grow as a professional while setting your schedule, a way to build a legacy for your family, or simply a way into an in-demand essential industry, you may find that owning a commercial cleaning franchise meets your needs.
Is there a discount for military veterans?
Yes! Coverall encourages military veterans to use their decision-making talent, personnel management experience, and desire to succeed, to independently own and operate a Coverall Franchise. For that reason, we proudly offer a military discount.
