Buy an Image One Franchise

Image One (Image One USA / Image One Facility Solutions) is a commercial cleaning and janitorial franchise founded in 2010 and franchising since 2011. The brand serves business clients such as offices, banks, restaurants, health clubs and medical and other commercial facilities, providing recurring contract cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing built around its Cleaning for Health protocols, which align with EPA and CDC guidance.

The model is home-based and low-overhead, built on protected territories and recurring revenue from ongoing service contracts rather than one-off jobs. Franchisees win and manage commercial accounts locally and deliver cleaning through hired staff. Proprietary apps and software support real-time pricing for proposals, task tracking and web-based facility inspections, and the IntelliClean system standardizes cleaning procedures across the network.

Image One remains founder-led by industry veteran Tim Conn and operates as a national network of independently owned units. It also offers a conversion route for existing independent cleaning businesses to join the system, and positions itself on technology, eco-friendly products and franchisee support within the wider commercial cleaning category.

Why buy an Image One Franchise?

Buying a resale within a recurring-revenue commercial cleaning model can be appealing: contracts renew, demand is steady, and an established unit may already carry a book of business and local reputation that a new territory would take time to build. Image One pairs this with a recognised brand, protected territories and a low-overhead, home-based structure that keeps fixed costs modest relative to many service franchises.

Owners benefit from the brand’s purchasing assistance and supplier pricing, the IntelliClean operating system, proprietary pricing and inspection technology, and a dedicated call center that books appointments to feed the sales pipeline. The Franchise Growth Model and ongoing R&D give owners a framework to add accounts over time. Veterans and first responders are offered more than 20% off the franchise fee, though that applies to new units rather than resales.

Image One – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Image One's modular program runs 18 hours of classroom and 68-116 hours of on-the-job training, starting with a week at the training facility, followed by two weeks of in-market training in the owner's territory and a further field visit within the first six months. Owners receive a confidential operations manual covering the IntelliClean system, plus 24/7 phone support, field operations help, purchasing co-op pricing, marketing tools and a lead-generating call center. Because resale buyers inherit an operating unit, they should confirm what transfer training and proprietary app and software access Image One provides to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits sales-oriented, relationship-driven operators comfortable winning and keeping commercial accounts, since clients are secured through active outreach rather than walk-in trade. No cleaning experience is required, but owners should be dependable, organized and willing to manage staff who often work evenings and nights. It fits hands-on local operators who can balance business development with overseeing service quality and building trust with facility managers and decision-makers in a home-based, owner-driven business.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Image One has been recognised by Franchise Business Review, earning its Top Franchise Satisfaction Award and a 2024 franchisee satisfaction score well above the industry average, plus a place on FBR's Top 200 Franchises for 2026. It has also been named a Top Franchise for Veterans by Entrepreneur (2022 and 2023) and received a 2025 Franchise Dictionary Hall of Fame award, marking 15 years in business. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US janitorial services market is large and steady, valued at roughly $112 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld), supported by businesses outsourcing cleaning and by sustained attention to workplace hygiene since the pandemic. Commercial cleaning is largely contract-based, giving the category recurring demand and resilience across economic cycles, as facilities need ongoing service regardless of conditions. For resale buyers, local factors matter most: the density of commercial premises, competition from independents and regional operators, and the stability of the inherited contract base within the territory.
