About Fish Window Cleaning Franchise

Mike Merrick founded Fish Window Cleaning in January 1978. Based on growing demand and his success, Mike realized there was a need for this service in other markets. He used his 20 years of experience to create the Fish Window Cleaning franchise system. In 1998, the first FISH franchise opened in Tampa, FL, and from there, FISH became the world’s largest window cleaning company with over 275 franchise locations coast-to-coast. 

FISH franchise owners experience a business that gives them a great lifestyle immediately (no nights, weekends, or holidays) and the ability to go out every day and grow their business in a market with fragmented competition. Most importantly, the owner is not the window cleaner, but the business professional who is dedicated to following the complete franchise system.

In addition, FISH is a smart business decision because of:

• Residual Income
• Low Overhead
• Fast Break-even
• Niche Market
• Strong Corporate Support
• Low Investment
• Huge Growth Potential
• Minimal Number of Employees
• High Customer Retention
• Over 40 Years of Experience

FAQ

Why would anybody buy a window cleaning franchise?

If anyone wants to be a window cleaner, they don’t need a franchise. FISH only awards franchises to candidates who want to be business owners and benefit from our 40+ years of knowledge and be a part of niche, recession-resistant market with fragmented competition and unlimited potential. We don’t want our franchise owners to be window cleaners, but rather run and manage the proven FISH business plan.

No. We provide full training that will give you all of the management tools needed to begin and grow your business. FISH's training is extensive and taught by members of the support team, including the President, Randy Cross. Randy enjoys leading training school and spending one-on-one time with each owner sharing his franchisee experience.

Can I keep my job and open a FISH franchise?

No. We require our owners be full-time in the business getting started. However, FISH's owners work Monday – Friday during normal business hours and no nights, weekends, or holidays and there is a lot of flexibility in your week for family, leisure, church, volunteer work, etc. Also, FISH's business model allows the owners to step back over time and manage the business through an operations manager.

Do I need an office?

Yes. We require you to run your business from a small office outside the home, but not a commercial storefront. The best offices are found in light industrial areas and small office buildings on side streets. FISH has a proven method to help owners find great office spaces at the best lease rates.

FISH has been committed to providing the highest level of support in the franchise service industry.
