Franchising…. Starting your own business!
Black Enterprise, May, 2004
Two years ago, Nelson Bowden, age twenty-nine, decided to go into business for himself and looked into franchise cleaning companies. "I chose the commercial cleaning industry because it's recession-proof. And, I chose JAN-PRO for two reasons-their initial overhead was considerable lower and the support they promised was superior when compared with other franchise options in the industry," Nelson said.
From the start, Nelson knew he made the right decision. "JAN-PRO has helped me tremendously by providing the business functions that I needed in order to operate a successful business. JAN-PRO handles the billing, sales, customer service follow-up and they provide me with ongoing training."
In the past year. Nelson's JAN-PRO franchise has grown from $5,000 to a current volume of $104,000. "By the end of 2004, I expect my business to grow to a minimum of $200,000. Becoming a franchise owner with JAN-PRO was the best decision I ever made," claims Nelson.
Ranked in Entrepreneur's January 2004 "Franchise 500" issue, as one of the Top 25 franchises in the nation, JAN-PRO is also one of the top five fastest growing franchises.
JAN-PRO welcomes and supports minority franchises. Sixty-percent of the company's 3,000 franchises are owned by minorities. Nelson Bowden changed his life with JAN-PRO PRO. You can, too. Call toll-free F866-355-1064 today, or visit us at www.jan-pro.com.
