The franchisor was rated by Entrepreneur Magazine as the top new, low-cost, home based franchise in 2009. The franchise uses a proprietary evolutionary process that has placed the franchise as the frontrunner in the carpet cleaning industry. Four protected territories are available for purchase with discretionary earnings of $19,679. The owner has only worked two of the four territories in his initial year and has done virtually nothing with the other two. Expanding marketing in the other two territories could produce greater results generating increased accounts and revenues. Low cost of ownership, a turn-key operation accompanied by low overhead, franchise support and training, tested, and proven marketing campaigns, and non-toxic biodegradable products makes this a superior carpet cleaning business. The business is known in the area for high quality work, friendly professional service and support. This is an eco-friendly business that utilizes efficient state-of-the-art technology and low energy solutions that exceed customers' expectations. Owner-operated, the business has growth potential through hiring additional staff and investing in additional equipment. The business primarily services residential accounts in Pinellas and Pasco counties with some commercial accounts including hotels, offices and more. This is an opportunity to obtain a quality small business enterprise at a low-cost and achieve greater results realizing the full potential of the investment. ]]> </description><pubDate>3/17/2010</pubDate><listingPrice>144900.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>144900.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>38349.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>19679.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>Tampa Bay Area</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Carpet Cleaning Co - Great Opportunity! ]]> </title><link>http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Carpet-Cleaning-Co-Great-Opportunity!.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Carpet-Cleaning-Co-Great-Opportunity!.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ In business since 1992, this company has an excellent reputation for providing quality carpet and upholstery cleaning and water damage restoration services to both residential and commerical customers.

The services offered include tile and grout cleaning, sealing and staining. As well as pressure washing of other hard surfaces such as concrete and pool decking. The current owner has concentrated on the residential market, but there are many opportunities in the commercial market as well. This business was started in 2005. The sale includes all equipment, including a van with the cleaning system mounted in it plus an assortment of high quality tools used during the cleaning process. No experience is required, all training is included.The current owner has intentionally only worked this business part time (generally 20-25 hours a week and no weekends). A new owner could increase business to a level they are comfortable with including adding some employees to allow for more work to be done per day. The current owner has not gone after carpet cleaning work because of the lower profit margin, but no additional equipment would be required to add carpet cleaning services. This business would be perfect for someone who is already in the cleaning business (maid or janitorial services) and is wanting to add services for their customers or for someone looking for a highly profitable home based business that they can grow on their own terms.          ]]> </description><pubDate>3/17/2010</pubDate><listingPrice>55000.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>55000.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>61364.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>42657.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>Houston Area</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Very Profitable Dry Cleaner with Property ]]> </title><link>http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Very-Profitable-Dry-Cleaner-with-Property.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Very-Profitable-Dry-Cleaner-with-Property.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ This is one of the best run, most profitable dry cleaning businesses in the United States!
