17. we used to own an office cleaning business. you dont need to be a franchisee
just start small with one or two nightly businesses or homes and let it grow slwly from there. With franchises you kick back a lot of money just for use of the name. They'll try to guarantee that you'll have business, but they make you sign too many contracts and the business will never truly be your own.
