Starting your journey into business ownership can bring plenty of questions. This post dives into the most common topics, like income potential, systems, support, and what to expect from your new investment. We’ll tackle all the questions we frequently hear to help you get started with confidence.

2. How does an Urban Clean Unit Franchise make money?
Once your initial cleaning contracts are secured, you’ll begin earning by servicing those accounts. We’ll also guide you on how to expand your client base and win more contracts, increasing your income and maximising your return on investment.
3. How does the Contract Guarantee work?
Urban Clean offers a Contract Guarantee to protect your business. If a client cancels or relocates within the first 24 months due to circumstances beyond your control, we’ll replace the value of that contract. Depending on your investment level, you may qualify for an Initial Contract Value Guarantee, and we’ll explain the details when you enquire.
We commit to winning $5,000 per month in cleaning contracts for every new franchisee. Many of our partners earn significantly more—some reaching $10,000 to $20,000 per month—depending on their effort, skill, and commitment to providing exceptional service.
4. What can I expect to earn as an Urban Clean Franchisee?
We commit to winning an initial $5,000 per month of cleaning contracts for you. You can earn more money by investing in more cleaning contracts won by us, by getting referrals, or by learning how to quote and win cleaning contracts on your own.
We have franchise partners that make between $5,000 to over $10,000 per month, and others that make in excess of $20,000 per month. How much money you make will be determined by your effort, skill and commitment to growing your business and providing exceptional service.
5. How many hours will I be working each week?
This depends on the size of your business and how you run it.
For example, with $5,000 in cleaning contracts per month, our franchisees usually work around 20 to 30 hours a week if they handle the cleaning themselves.
The time spent cleaning depends on the type of cleaning contracts you take and your level of experience and skill. If you’re new to cleaning, it’s a good idea to allow extra time for yourself until your speed improves. During training, you’ll learn the most effective and efficient cleaning techniques while still ensuring a high-quality clean.
6. Do I need to quit my current job?
No, actually, we recommend keeping your daytime job until the income from your business matches or exceeds your regular earnings.
Our business is designed so you can keep your daytime job while we arrange contracts for you. Since commercial cleaning happens after hours, it won’t interfere with most people’s existing jobs. As your business grows, you might decide to train and hire cleaning teams to handle the work for you. We provide guidance on training, recruiting, and managing your staff.
7. What support do I get as a Unit Franchisee?
In addition to training and online resources that cover everything you need to run your business, you’ll receive field support from your local Regional Branch Owner. We provide regular coaching and workshops to help you continually improve. We’re here for you every step of the way. Plus, we take care of basic bookkeeping, send invoices to your customers, and manage your accounts receivable for you.
8. Do I get to choose my contracts?
When starting your business, you can choose not to accept cleaning contracts outside your area or those without after-hours access. We’ll work together to create a plan based on the Strategy Session blueprint and collaborate closely to get your business up and running as quickly as possible.
Our contract allocation system makes it easy to access all the details of a new account, including time and price calculations, right away.
9. How much training do I receive?
You’ll receive in-depth training both on-site and off-site, along with continuous workshops and support. You’ll learn everything about cleaning and running a thriving business. Our program exceeds the standards of an Australian Certificate 3 in Cleaning Operations, equipping you with the skills to build and manage a successful commercial cleaning business.
10. Which manuals will I receive?
Every aspect of the business is streamlined and organized with detailed manuals and checklists. We also utilize the latest automation tools for processes, cleaning, and engaging with customers.
12. What do successful Unit Franchisees have in common?
Our most successful franchisees have a hunger to learn. They are coachable and want to follow a proven system. Attention to detail matters, as well as good communication skills.
13. Do you have royalties?
Instead of royalties, we charge service fees. To maintain the support and guarantees we offer, you pay a percentage of the payments you receive from your customers. This fee is only applied when you actually receive funds from them.
Complete information about percentages and the services offered can be provided upon request.
14. Are you members of the Franchise Council of Australia?
We’re proud members and active participants in the Franchise Council of Australia, and we take our responsibilities under the Franchise Code of Australia very seriously.
15. Does everyone who applies for a Franchise get accepted?
We want to make sure the business is a great match for you and that you’ll thrive in it.
First, you need to qualify before being offered a franchise. Once you meet the requirements, you’ll be invited to a Partnership Session with a Regional. However, not all applicants will reach this stage.
