Jim's Cleaning franchise explained by divisional franchisor Haydar Hussein.
Fees, lead costs, splits, income and the plan to pass Jim's Mowing by the end of 2027.
Haydar joined Jim's in 2001 and now leads the Jim's Cleaning Group, with about 1,700 franchisees across cleaning, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, blind cleaning and repairs, and car detailing.
In this episode of the Jim's Podcast he sits down with Joel Kleber for an October update.
The division hit every sales target this year. The next step is a rebuilt training program for new franchisees. Less reliance on leads.
More local marketing with property managers and real estate agents. An earlier push to split the round.
Haydar runs the numbers on why. A split returns up to $20,000. An employee returns $2 to $3 an hour once you pay super, tax and training.
He also covers the national contracts department, which sends $30 million of work a year to Jim's franchisees and pays in 14 days.
The newest win is a car detailing contract with a major EV manufacturer.
If you are comparing a cleaning franchise in Australia against starting solo, Haydar explains the Jim's Cleaning franchise cost, the pay for work guarantee and what the first six months look like on your own.
