Overview
Franchising is about being in business for yourself,
but not by yourself.
Owning a franchise has many benefits – brand recognition, training, a proven business concept with a support system and formula for success. Our franchise opportunity will open doors to greater flexibility, and enhanced lifestyle, financial freedom, and the joy and excitement of being in business for yourself. In addition, franchises greatly increase your chances for success because you are using methods that have been proven to be successful. While some may think they can perform this business without purchasing a franchise, the statistics would disagree. The U.S. Department of Commerce states that over a 10 year period, 90% of all franchised businesses are still operational. The Small Business Administration reports that 80% of all private businesses fail within the first 10 years. With our franchise, you can start from home full-time or even part-time and then learn to run multiple crews, if you desire. Our franchise is designed to grow at your pace. You do not need previous experience in the floor care industry. However, you do need to be self-motivated with a strong desire to succeed.

Products & Services
We are a floor care company. Fast & Friendly was initially a
cleaning service – providing residential maid service and commercial
office cleaning. So many of our customers asked us to clean their
carpets that we decided to offer carpet cleaning. Once we started doing
carpet cleaning, customers were asking us to clean their tile floors,
thus, the beginning of Fast & Friendly Floorcare. Over the next few
years we traveled all around the country, taking classes, attending
seminars, going to conventions to learn about floor care. Then,
practicing on friends and family. In 1995, we started Fast &
Friendly Floorcare in a spare bedroom, with a well-used van, a vacuum
cleaner bought at the flea market, a five year old floor buffer and an
upholstery cleaning machine. After a lot of hard work, some trial and
error, and a bit of good luck, we now have a comfortable office,
secretary, employees, multiple vans and lots of state of the art
equipment. And now, we do only floors….and upholstery cleaning.
In addition, in 2007, we began offering franchise opportunities to
qualified, motivated people – where we share our knowledge, expertise,
and our marketing and management success systems beginning with 2 weeks
of training at our headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, and
continued support 24/7.

We have the most innovative training program in the industry.
No previous experience is needed. You’ll learn everything you need to run

manual which serves as a valuable resource for you. The training school
lasts for 9 days (Sa, Su, M, T, W, TH, F, SA, Su).
Your training

The training consists of classroom lectures and discussions, actual demonstrations, printed materials, video presentations, field trips, and hands-on training.

By the time you leave, you will have an excellent understanding of our business operations, processes and methods.
Fast & Friendly is committed to providing franchise owners with the most comprehensive and dependable support system available. Supporting our franchisees is our number 1 priority.

We have been down the same path you are embarking upon, so you can benefit from our experience and knowledge.
