360clean Just One of 50 Companies Named a 2024 Top Low-Cost Franchise by Franchise Business Review
Independent Research Data Shows Franchisees Are Highly Satisfied with their Investment in 360clean
April 2024 - 360clean was identified by independent franchise research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2024 Top Low-Cost Franchise.
360clean was built by a family that is focused on helping other families achieve their same dream of business ownership. 360clean has come a long way since it was founded as a part-time janitorial service company in 2005 by Barry Bodiford and Allison Bodiford, a full-time pharmaceutical industry employee at the time of the company’s beginning. When the company was incorporated in 2005, 360clean employed only a half-dozen employees and serviced 3 customers. Today, that start-up corporation is the innovative leader of the janitorial service industry and services customers in various markets throughout the United States with the goal of being nationwide in the upcoming years.
Franchise Business Review (FBR) provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. FBR publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.
More than 11,000 franchisees representing 140 low-cost brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey over 18 months. The brands that were named to the list of the best low-cost franchises to buy had to have high franchisee satisfaction and an investment of under $100,000 at the time their franchisees participated in FBR’s satisfaction survey.
360clean franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, culture, and financial opportunity.
“It’s a common misconception that buying a franchise is too expensive for the average person seeking to start a business. But what many people don’t know is that there are very solid franchise opportunities out there that can provide the satisfaction and perks of business ownership but don’t require a huge financial investment,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Approximately one-third of the award-winning brands on our list of the Top Low-Cost Franchises have initial investments starting under $75K. With financing, many can be started for as little as $20K, with a few options starting under $15K. More importantly, these 50 franchises have average owner satisfaction 15-20% higher than our industry benchmark, making them all excellent options for entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership.”
“We continue to strive to be innovative in our approach to franchising so we can remain the most rewarding yet affordable franchise opportunity available," says 360clean Founder, Barry Bodiford. “As Franchise Business Review discovered again this year, by surveying our franchise owners, our business model at 360clean continues to provide an excellent business opportunity for an investment that provides a rapid return on investment.”
