About Image One USA

Image One USA is a commercial cleaning company that was founded in 2010. It began franchise operations one year later. The current Image One USA headquarters are located in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

Image One USA offers a complete cleaning service menu for offices, banks, restaurants, health clubs, and many more. All cleaning procedures disinfect and sanitize, leaving customers with peace of mind of a job well done.

There are over one dozen Image One USA locations in the United States and the brand is actively seeking to expand its reach.

Why You May Want To Start an Image One USA Franchise

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in cleaning services, which is already within the multi-billion-dollar cleaning industry. Franchisees with Image One USA may have a chance to grab a piece of this squeaky clean pie.

The Image One USA management team keeps a close eye on the market. It seeks to identify possible growth areas and clients. It then passes its findings on to the franchisees. The business sees itself as a team effort, closely working with franchisees to ensure their success.

A potential Image One USA franchisee will be dependable, hard-working, and honest. They must listen to what the client wants and provide the services that the client needs. Cleaning commercial premises often requires that cleaners work unsociable hours, sometimes alone or with a skeleton crew. As Image One USA franchisee should strive to build a close relationship with its clients, necessitating trustworthiness, friendliness, and professionalism. 

What Might Make an Image One USA Franchise a Good Choice?

Opening an Image One USA franchise may offer a more predictable outcome than investing in a completely new brand that could struggle to thrive in an already crowded and competitive industry.

To be part of the Image One USA team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. In addition, you should prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include advertising fees and royalty fees.

How To Open an Image One USA Franchise

As you decide if opening an Image One USA franchise is the right move for you, make sure you take time to explore the opportunity. Research the brand and your local area to see if an Image One USA franchise would do well in your community. While competition is healthy, too much of it may not allow for the most possible growth.

Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, you must perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. As part of your due diligence, you may want to speak to existing franchisees and ask the Image One USA franchising team questions. 

If awarded an Image One USA franchise, franchisees attend a comprehensive training program before starting their business. Support may be available around the clock, and Image One USA franchisees get help with marketing, purchasing, and software integration. In short, franchisees get all the assistance they need.
