Description
What is Stratus Clean?
Stratus is not a cleaning business. It’s a master franchise opportunity where your candidate acts as the CEO of a territory. They build and manage a network, not do the work. The role is simple. Sell unit franchises. Secure commercial cleaning contracts. Then match the two.
Focus on three things:
First, the model. This is an executive model built for professionals with sales and leadership backgrounds. It’s weekday, office-based, and designed to scale without adding labor-heavy operations. Over 90% of revenue is recurring, which creates predictability most franchise concepts lack .
Second, the money. There are nine revenue streams, not one. Franchise fees, royalties, contract margins, supply sales, financing income, and more. That creates multiple ways to grow income and build enterprise value, not just cash flow .
Third, the industry. Commercial cleaning is a $90B essential service. It doesn’t disappear in downturns. It’s fragmented, which means real opportunity to build share in any market .
Who fits best:
• Strong sales or leadership background
• Comfortable building teams and relationships
• Wants scale, not a job
Position it as scalable business with 90 % recurring revenue.

- Certified COVID-19 disinfecting services
