What kind of background or experience do I need to have to be successful as a house cleaning franchisee?

What are the advantages of buying a house cleaning franchise instead of starting my own cleaning business?

What kind of training and support can I expect to receive from Select Cleaning?
Select Cleaning provides comprehensive training and ongoing support for its franchisees, including initial training on the company's cleaning techniques and procedures, business management training, and ongoing coaching and support from the franchisor's team of experts.

Do I need to have my own insurance or am I covered by Select Cleaning?
