Cleaning Franchises for sale in Australia

Obtain the current disclosure document, franchise agreement, information statement, earnings information and required transfer documents. Check the Franchise Disclosure Register and speak with current and former franchisees before accepting the seller's performance claims.

Model royalties, marketing levies, software fees, renewal, transfer, training and refurbishment costs. Review territory, customer allocation, pricing, approved suppliers, minimum performance, restraint and termination clauses, including capital expenditure required during the remaining term.

Check whether customers contract with the franchisee, franchisor or a master contractor. Review assignment, cancellation and lead-allocation rules, and verify the franchisor will approve transfer of each major account, territory and recurring service arrangement.

Test employee classifications, hours, penalties, allowances, superannuation and leave under the applicable award. Review subcontractor independence, insurance and franchise rules, focusing on workers whose control, tools and regular hours indicate possible employment.

Confirm ownership and condition of vehicles, machines, chemicals, uniforms and customer keys. Check access to booking, invoicing, quality-control and franchisor portals, plus leases, PPSR interests and brand-compliant replacement requirements after the sale.

Reconcile service schedules, franchise statements, invoices and receipts by customer. Calculate margin after labour, travel, supplies, royalties and levies, then adjust for owner cleaning, underpriced accounts, transfer fees and mandatory equipment or vehicle upgrades.
