Franchising FAQs

Looking for a new challenge? Still have some questions? Here’s Jim answering some FAQs about franchising and Jim’s.

Why should I join a franchise over starting my own business?

The simple fact is that you are more likely to succeed under a franchise model. 90 – 95% of cleaning and gardening businesses fail within the first year, whereas within Jim’s that stat drops down to 11%. At Jim’s, we provide everything needed for you to hit the ground running, starting with our three-day generic training course located at Jim’s Group HQ in Mooroolbark, where you will also get the opportunity to meet Jim himself.

What does my investment get me?

When buying a Jim’s franchise, you’ll receive all the necessary training, equipment, tools, and support to set up your business. If you are buying an existing business, you’ll have a large client base to hit the ground running. If however, you are starting a new business, Jim’s provides a “pay for work guarantee” for all Franchisees (typically $1500 per week), in which franchisors will pay franchisees for performing work and tasks for free. By carrying out these tasks, franchisees are able to rapidly build their business.
