What Might Make a T.T. Cleaning Franchise a Good Choice?

Tatiana Thompson founded her company on the belief that, by committing to standards of excellence, T.T. Cleaning would be flooded with repeat customers. A franchisee will need to recognize that the success of the business requires a good rapport with these customers and a desire to serve the community, never letting up on these standards of cleanliness.

The franchisee will be responsible for managing schedules and employees, as well as all the day-to-day operations a business owner would expect. This includes setting hours, setting rates, and establishing a customer base. On the plus side, the T.T. Cleaning name may be one that is already one that is already known.

To be part of the T.T. Cleaning team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. In addition, you should prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.

If you like to leave a place sparkling and have the skills and desire to manage your own business, opening a T.T. Cleaning franchise may be the perfect opportunity for you.
