Buildingstars
Buildingstars International, Inc. offers master franchises (subfranchisor rights) for a system that provides commercial cleaning services, including janitorial, restroom sanitation, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, waxing, buffing, trash removal, carpet cleaning, and related services for offices and commercial buildings. Master franchisees market and sell subfranchises to operators (subfranchisees) in a designated development area, train and assist them, secure customer accounts, provide billing and collection services, and operate their own cleaning business when needed. The business model involves three tiers of subfranchises (Technician, On-Site Manager, and Corporate Programs) targeting the general public seeking quality cleaning for commercial premises.
