FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY
Okay, so some of you are thinking that this sounds too good to be true. In a sense it is. Obviously that $500 is a low-cost proposal designed to grab your attention. But it is just one piece of the picture. Sure, the other franchises are charging 2oK and 30K initial franchise fees and Happy Window Cleaning is only charging $500. That is true, but it is not the same as saying that all you need is $500 and there won’t be any other costs to open the business. Just as with any other franchises, there are, of course, other costs involved in starting up a Happy Window Cleaning business of your own. $500 is just the initial franchise fee as opposed to paying 20k – 30k for another franchise brand.
We do it differently, by charging you only for the work (and our true costs) that we actually put into helping you, going forward, to achieve your goals. When you win, we win, it really is that simple. It is also Biblical.
I, Scott Britton, the franchisor, in one sense, am almost gifting the millions of dollars we’ve invested to make this franchise what it is today. In another sense, I am not putting our franchise into debt nor taking on outside investors to finance expensive campaigns to reach and scale every corner of the country at once, BUT neither am I putting a franchisee in debt by imposing a hefty franchise
fee. I am building the Happy Window Cleaning Franchise
sustainably and holding onto my owner’s equity but at the same time, I am making it affordable for one who wants to start his own branch of Happy Window Cleaning. That is the difference. No more, no less.
Now that we have your attention, we urge you to seriously
consider the variables, get out a sheet of paper and a pen and
think about it. Do you own a truck or a van already? Do you have enough savings to pay your bills for several months until you get the business off the ground?
Someone is going to grab this opportunity. If Happy Window
Cleaning fits your personality and skill set, so why not have it be you? Remember, every area code gets just one owner. Maybe you already own a small cleaning company but aren’t getting the traction you would like. The Happy Window Cleaning business opportunity is structured to be as affordable as possible for you. If you truly consider what your life can become with our help, you might just be on a path to realizing your goals.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. - 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NKJV
The Benefits of Franchising with Happy Window Cleaning:
1
The power of the existing brand – This is the most important advantage of franchising with Happy Window Cleaning. The window cleaning industry has been around since the industrial revolution and the mass manufacturing of glass. Today, homes are built larger than ever and the people born between 1946 and 1964 (baby boomers) are entering retirement in droves. At their ages, they no longer feel safe climbing ladders and would rather spend their free time doing other things. In 2010 and in Las Vegas, at a time when unemployment in that city was 16%, Scott Britton proved for the first time that the window cleaning industry can survive even at a time of a financial crunch. We have been through the housing crisis of the Great Recession and now a pandemic and we're still going strong! Happy Window Cleaning has been tried and tested and currently enjoys immense popularity wherever we go. People respond to our registered trademark on top of the positive vibe that our company name exudes. Happy Window Cleaning is a household name in the Grand Rapids Metropolitan area and we have the right stuff to make Happy Window Cleaning a household name in the territory you choose as well. Familiarity can help you develop a customer base because potential patrons have a pre-existing knowledge of what to expect from that brand. As a franchisee, you will use the logo, brand name, van graphics, brochures, flyers, and trademark of Happy Window Cleaning.

Happy Window Cleaning has highly effective social media ads, road signs, posters, postcards, and a jingle, among others, to market the service to prospective customers from day one. What is more, we help you to make the phone ring and get your business up and running. Although you own your own business you aren't in it all alone.

Capital - The franchise model of Happy Window Cleaning is like no other. Given that many are losing their jobs and source of income, we want to give more than just a ray of hope to those looking for a stable and livable income. Our franchise fees are very reasonable, more flexible, and like no other company offering a franchise. Together we are able to reach more people far and wide, and in the same breath, we provide you with an opportunity to sustain your needs and possibly earn more. It is because this model allows you the option of expansion plans without equity cost or excessive debt risk. That is because we guide you to achieve sustainable growth from the revenues you make operating your business. In other words, we teach you to live within your means and make prudent financial decisions. When your debt-to-income ratio is good, when you achieve financial sufficiency and profitability, the obstacles to getting financing for greater growth are lessened. Of course, results will vary.

Training - Our franchise model offers the most advanced and the best training in the industry to the new owner and staff members so that you can handle all the operations efficiently even before you open your business. Every business goes through stages, and the practices need to change as you grow. This where having people who have already done it really helps you to lessen the stress and allows you to be most proficient in your work. The key to success is working to live and not living to work! The Happy Window Cleaning training is simple and easy to learn. It includes management skill-building, systems training, key performance indicators, and marketing secrets along with help in the effective use of technology; customer relations software, training in accounting procedures, cash handling, time management, and even instructions in transaction managing. We also offer ongoing training opportunities so franchisees can benefit from new developments in the franchise industry.

8
Reputation - When you open a Happy Window Cleaning franchise you already have a protected layer in place just like a pea in its pod. A franchisee has an existing system and dedicated people ready to assist you to maintain the reputation of its brand value.

Important Requirements
Happy Window Cleaning seeks people of good character and standing within their communities. As a Christian Company, we are NOT looking for people who are sinless. We know that the absence of a "rap sheet" doesn't make anyone a "good person". There is only one person who is truly good, and that is our Lord Jesus. The rest of humanity is either covered in His grace, by His blood or else out there living on your own, apart from the body of Christ. However, adopting you into our franchise family is not like hiring an employee. There is a greater covenant between the Franchisor and the Franchisee than there is between an employer and an employee. A standard franchise agreement is for ten years and is renewable in perpetuity!
For us to make that kind of commitment to you, we need some assurance that you are a person of good repute. We require two written references from non-family members. A letter from your mom and or your wife will not be acceptable. The references must indicate that you are known to be kind, honest, and trustworthy. These written references must be submitted to Scott Britton along with a short response from you about what you have learned about yourself from the Anxiety and EQ Article {forwarded to you along with the FDD (franchise disclosure document)}. Also, be prepared to answer any questions verbally about the same. Keep in mind that whether a Franchise cost $30,000, or $500, it is not "sold", they are "awarded" to people who are believed to be responsible and capable of properly caring for and looking after the interests of the brand. Happy Window Cleaning is no different in this respect.
