and patios; Commercial buildings; Manufacturing plants and

Q. What about competition?
- Sparkle Wash is the only internationally franchised
business of it’s kind that is recognized by Entrepreneur magazine.
It is a complete professional system that is as different from
"power washing" as McDonalds is different from
"hamburgers". Of course there are individuals operating
"power wash" equipment. Sparkle Wash franchise owners tell
us they are not concerned about these as competition. Their reasons
range from, "They can’t do what I can," to, "When
customers see the quality and professional service that Sparkle Wash
represents, any so called competition is just blown away."
- What are some of the benefits of Sparkle Wash services that I will
be able to offer potential customers?
- Above all, Sparkle Wash offers unmatched uniformly high quality
work at competitive prices. In addition all contacts are highly
professional, from the initial contact through the completed
service. All services are environmentally friendly and free from
damage to the surfaces cleaned, restored or preserved. Sparkle Wash
franchisees can easily demonstrate that Sparkle Wash quality is
superior to the potential competitors.
- Can I operate my Sparkle Wash Franchise from my home?
- Many Sparkle Wash franchises start their franchises from their own
home. All that is needed is a garage to store the mobile unit when
it is not in use, and a secure place to store the cleaning products.
There may be a few communities that do not permit businesses to be
headquartered in the home. For these, Sparkle Wash franchisees rent
space for the mobile unit and cleaning products. This space does not
need to be in the high rent district, as Sparkle Wash goes to the
customer. As the business grows, Sparkle Wash franchisees either
rent or purchase added space to contain their growing operations.
- Will I have to do the work myself?
- There are three basic types of Sparkle Wash franchises. One is the
"Owner-Operator", another "Manager-Owner" and
the third is "Investor-Owner". Some franchisees begin as
an "Owner-Operator" to make the most of limited financial
resources. Of these, many go on to become "Manager-Owners"
or "Investor-Owners as the business grows. Others start as
"Manager-Owners" or "Investor-Owners". Usually
"Investor-Owners" are companies that have other existing
businesses in related fields. There are successful Sparkle Wash
"Owner-Operators" who choose to operate their businesses
as single unit operations with few employees, because they prefer
the simplicity of this mode of operation. The Sparkle Wash business
can provide generous rewards regardless of the method of operation
chosen. Of course, the larger operations provide greater returns.
- Do I need prior business experience to be a successful Sparkle
Wash Franchise owner?
- Although prior experience is helpful, it is not required.
Successful franchisees come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The
proven Sparkle Wash system provides training and support in all
skills necessary for your success. Sparkle Wash supplies the system
and you need to apply it, as it doesn’t just happen by itself. The
greater the desire and effort you put in, the greater the rewards
that are returned to you.
