High-demand Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning Biz For Sale

Description

Commercial kitchen cleaning franchise opportunity focused on exhaust systems and fire-prevention maintenance.

This is a new franchise territory rather than the resale of an existing operating business.

Services

• Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning
• Conveyor oven cleaning
• Pressure washing
• Hood filter replacement
• Grease containment
• Commercial appliance deep cleaning

Customers can include restaurants, schools, casinos, hotels, senior living facilities and other properties with commercial kitchens.

Much of the work is performed on a recurring schedule because commercial kitchens require regular cleaning and inspection under applicable fire and health standards. Exact requirements vary by jurisdiction, building type and equipment.

Operating model

• Home-based business
• Two technicians at startup
• One branded service vehicle
• No retail storefront required
• Limited inventory requirements
• Optional storage unit or small warehouse for chemicals and equipment

The franchisor provides training, operating support, local marketing materials and proprietary software for dispatching, payments and record keeping.

The listing states that exclusive territories may contain up to approximately 2,000 potential food-service customers.

Investment

• Estimated initial investment: $200,000 to $257,000
• Minimum net worth: $200,000
• Buyer must be a U.S. or Canadian citizen or permanent resident

Financing may be available for part of the franchise fee. Discounts are also offered to certain veterans and first responders, subject to current franchise terms.

The intended owner role is management, sales and team development rather than performing all field cleaning personally.

Buyers should review the current Franchise Disclosure Document and confirm the franchise fee, royalties, advertising charges, territory boundaries, vehicle and equipment costs, working capital, insurance, technician requirements and financing terms.

Commercial kitchen exhaust and fire-prevention work may be subject to local fire codes, NFPA standards, customer-specific requirements and other licensing or certification rules. These requirements should be checked for the specific territory before opening.
