Is it wise for me to go into a business that I know very little about? |
| |
|
|
A |
|
Almost all of our owners have had no previous commercial steam cleaning experience. Our extensive training program is designed to teach you all facets of the business and give you a step-by-step operating plan. The most important prerequisite is a strong desire to provide your customers with outstanding service. You should enjoy dealing with people, both customers and employees and making decisions. |

|
|
|
|
Who sets the prices for my products and services? |
| |
|
|
A |
|
We will provide you with a complete recommended pricing system based upon our research of your market and our experience. In addition, we are available by toll free phone for consultation on large or special project estimates for as long as you own this business (800 225-0582). However, the final service price decisions are yours. |

|
|
How many employees will I need? |
| |
|
|
A |
|
Initially, you will need to hire only a 2-man cleaning crew. As your business grows, you will need additional crews (e.g. for every 100 restaurant clients you serve, you will need on average a full-time 2-man crew). For a nominal fee, ISC headquarters will provide ongoing office support (i.e. accounting, invoicing, collections). |

Your success primarily depends on your own efforts and your willingness to follow the proven ISC operating system – which is a major reason for the success of our ownerships. THE POTENTIAL FOR PROFIT IS AS LARGE AS YOUR AMBITION. |
