Mr. Marcos Henderson has made a tremendous impact in the Indianapolis market since opening his Corvus Franchise last year.

His keen attention to detail was clear from the very start. At his disclosure, Mr. Henderson took thorough notes and asked many questions. According to Executive Director, Mr. David Villafana, Mr. Henderson’s focus on providing the highest quality customer service is what makes him stand out. He is always on time for his cleans and treats his clients with the utmost respect. And, if any issues do arise, Mr. Henderson does not wait until his next scheduled clean to address them. He responds immediately and does whatever it takes to find a solution to the problem.

Mr. Henderson has not received any complaints or negative feedback. However, he is very open to ongoing training and always willing to learn new things. With a positive attitude like this, we have no doubts that Mr. Henderson will develop a wide skill set and continuously grow as a business owner.

Thank you, Mr. Henderson, for the impact you make in Indianapolis! Everyone at Corvus is grateful to have you as a part of the team, and we look forward to watching your continued success!

Franchise Owner Mrs. Hayana Hill has made a major impact in one of our newest markets – Corvus of Cleveland – since opening her Franchise last June. According to Regional Director Mr. Johnny Lunsford, her friendly and bright personality showed right away at the disclosure. Since then, she has said yes to pretty much every opportunity given to her.

A particular instance where Mrs. Hill’s “just-say-yes” attitude shined was during crunch time. After being notified that a last-minute transfer was needed, she drove from Baltimore to Cleveland through the night to be at the walkthrough. Needless to say, the transfer was successful!

Mrs. Hill has many strengths, but in our opinion, it is her time management and organizational skills that really stand out. She is also smart, thorough, and does not shy away from hard work. As a full-time mother with work experience ranging from housekeeping to the nursing field, it is no surprise that she is already such a successful Franchise Owner.

Thank you, Mrs. Hill, for all that you do. Everyone at Corvus looks forward to working with you and watching your business grow!

5 Signs You’re Ready to Purchase a Commercial Cleaning Franchise

by

You’ve been dreaming about purchasing a commercial cleaning franchise, and you think it might be time. What could be better than setting your own hours, being your own boss, and (most importantly) doing what you’re passionate about? These thoughts compel you. But just before you make the move, doubt creeps in, and you pause.

Are you really ready?

Taking the plunge into entrepreneurship is a big one, so it’s understandable to be nervous and even second-guess yourself.
If you’ve been thinking about owning your own commercial cleaning franchise, but you aren’t quite sure you’re ready to take the big first step, check out these 5 indicators. Cast the doubt aside and take a look. You may already be there!

1. You’re Excited

Yes, you have your doubts and healthy quotient of worry. Purchasing a franchise isn’t something anyone should spontaneously jump into. Doubts can be crippling, but if your excitement shines through the fog of fear and anxiety, it’s a sign you may be ready.

The doubt that comes creeping into your brain proves you’re thinking clearly and weighing the pros and cons. You aren’t about to jump into something feet first, which is a good sign. That means you’re excited, but you’re also thinking about the situation logically.

On the flip side, your excitement reveals your passion for the venture. This passion is what will fuel your future success. You’re likely ready when you have a healthy balance of both.

2. You’ve Done Your Homework

There’s a lot to owning a commercial cleaning franchise. Not only do you need to understand the cleaning industry, but you also need to research various franchising companies in your area. Once you’ve explored your options, reviewed the Franchise Disclosure Agreement, and feel good about it, don’t overthink it! You’re ready.

3. You’re Financially Equipped

Your financial status is one of the biggest (and most obvious) factors in your overall readiness to purchase a commercial cleaning franchise.

Purchasing a commercial cleaning franchise is a big investment. It involves putting a lump sum of money down initially and getting it back over time, and then some.

If your finances and credit are in good shape and you can make the initial investment comfortably, then it may be time to move forward.

4. You Understand the Risks Involved

Any business, franchise or not, comes with an element of risk. It’s the potential rewards that make it all worth it. A 2019 study by the Journal of Economics & Management Strategy shows that franchises boast an 8% higher two-year success rate than independent businesses, making them a safer alternative, though still not risk-free.

If you’ve done your research, fully understand the risks, and feel prepared to take them on, that’s another sign you may be ready to purchase your own commercial cleaning franchise.

5. You Have Support

Even if you’re the only one who signs the dotted line, your family and friends become a part of this journey as they offer their advice, love, and support. Even if they aren’t part of the financial decision-making process, they’re the ones who will be your sounding board and the ones who will celebrate your success with you.

If your loved ones support you, you’re more ready than you knew. With the support of those who love you most, there’s not much you can’t do.

Franchisee Spotlight – Domonique Spears, Corvus of Nashville

by

This month’s Franchisee Spotlight goes to Corvus of Nashville Franchise Owner, Mr. Domonique Spears. The Corvus brand entered the state of Tennessee less than one year ago, and Mr. Spears’ influence on the up-and-coming market has not gone unnoticed.

Mr. Spears’ cleaning experience goes back to helping his older brother clean the school where he worked. Then, just shortly after graduating high school, Mr. Spears got a job at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he went on to work for five years. In a recent interview with Corvus of Nashville’s Regional Director, Mr. Jonathan Frias, they discuss how this experience primed him to clean at a high level and provide top-notch customer service.

Since the start of his Corvus Franchise, Mr. Spears’ strategy has been to clean Nashville’s smaller accounts. And according to Mr. Frias, this approach has worked out very well. “He listens to the advice we have given him. Dominique is always willing to learn and get better,” he says.

Mr. Spears works another job in addition to his Corvus Franchise, making it challenging to meet up for last-minute changes that arise. But even though his work schedule is demanding, he still manages to make it work. For example, Mr. Spears was more than willing to meet up with Mr. Frias on a Sunday for an initial walkthrough of a new customer account. Talk about an impressive work ethic!

Thank you, Mr. Spears, for all that you do for Corvus! We look forward to watching your continued growth and success.
