As the president and CEO of a franchise brand, I have been asked for a few thoughts on franchising and how a franchise might be a good or bad decision for a carpet cleaner, restorer, or fire-in-the-belly entrepreneur ready to tell their boss to “pound sand!” and go it alone as a business owner. Service Team of Professionals is a cleaning/restoration/ biohazard franchise. We are also about 999 other things to our franchisees.
