- Expertise and professionalism

- Reliability and open services hours

Hiring Small but Local cleaning companies:
Small or cleaning companies which are at a starting stage are always located near you. These cleaning companies operate from home and are run by a small group of people who might lack some expertise when you demand a specialized cleaning service. However, these companies are responsive and might try to exceed your expectations but always are short of proper cleaning equipment. They try to impress their clients and give special attention by going the extra mile with their services and flexibility. Nevertheless, it might be challenging to hire them if you need special services like Carpet cleaning, Floor waxing and stripping, high window cleaning, and so on as this cleaning needs a higher investment for the equipment. Moreover, such cleaning companies lack all the needed insurance such as Liability and WCB for their workers which might soon or later put you in the middle of Labor disputes.
Even though such companies are located closer to your operation, they are best for Money value and attention to detail. However, they might not be the best options for bigger and more sensitive businesses.
Professional established cleaning companies
One thinking that is in common between the local small companies and the established cleaning companies is both national companies. However, there are tons of differences between these companies. These established companies have all the necessary requirements for a better cleaning output. The only thing that makes them different from multinational companies is only they are operational within the region and are locally founded.
They have a better edge than multinational companies as they understand better what is important in their service areas. For instance, a cleaning company established in rainy or normal weather regions does not understand the nature of the office or commercial cleaning needed for a snowy area like Canada.
Moreover, they are more prepared, have better equipment for the services needed, and are more focused on their customer’s satisfaction as the channel of communication between the service men and management is direct not through a proxy of master franchises.
Multinational Franchise cleaning companies:
These companies have a better and more aggressive marketing strategy with well-structured management. Though they train their franchisees and cleaning teams, customer satisfaction is overshadowed by their documentation and expert communication teams. They look to meet all the customer’s demand but the services will be below the standard that the locally established companies set. They lack the understanding and nature of business in most areas as their business structure is based on profitability, not localized customer demand.
