Becoming Your Own Boss With Germinator
October 13, 2021
Buying a franchise is considered by many to be a shortcut to business ownership. When you buy one, you become your own boss by acquiring a business that has already done much of the leg work for you.
Franchises like Germinator have a well-established brand identity, offer a lineup of products and services that have been tested and perfected in the market (most are
EPA registered) and a built-in customer base.
In general, franchising has a one-year higher success rate of around 6.3 percent compared to most independent businesses that are brand new. On top of that, the two-year franchise success rate has been shown to be up to 8 percent higher than most independent businesses, according to a paper by the
Journal of Economics & Management Strategy.
These are some reasons why buying a franchise like Germinator's might be a great way to have your own business versus starting from scratch. Plus, you might have the potential to earn revenue faster with a Germinator franchise than you would be opening a brand-new business.

So, considering this, is buying a sanitizing and disinfecting franchise a good idea, especially with the new variants of the "virus" developing?
Why Buying a Sanitizing and Disinfecting Franchise Is a Good Idea
Actually, it's not just a good idea. It's a GREAT idea!
Normal cleaning, dusting, and vacuuming aren't going to cut it anymore to help create truly protected spaces. The pandemic certainly made us all more aware of germs and the importance of implementing and maintaining proper sanitizing and disinfecting practices.
These practices have now become part of our daily lives and even more so for businesses. This creates a high demand for sanitizing and disinfecting products and services like the ones Germinator offers.
Still, the biggest reason by far is that the surface disinfectant market is on the rise. It turns out the major booster for this growth is not COVID but "…the increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) worldwide," according to the "
U.S. Surface Disinfectant Market Size, Share and Trends 2020 – 2027 Forecast Report" by Grand View Research. It's for that reason that the government is pushing enhanced cleaning measures in public places.
They forecasted that the surface disinfectant market is "…expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027."
What does that mean in USD? Well, the surface disinfectant industry had an estimated market value of USD 1.1 billion in 2020. According to the projected CAGR, by 2027, it will have a value of USD 1.9 billion in forecasted revenues.

There's no better time than now to get a franchise in this thriving industry. Yet, from all the sanitizing and disinfecting franchises out there, what makes Germinator your best choice?
Why Germinator?
There are many reasons why a Germinator franchise is the right move if you want to get into the sanitizing and disinfecting industry and become your own boss. In addition to all the perks that franchising normally offers (brand recognition, built-in customer base, etc.), here's what makes Germinator unique:
- You'll receive all the hands-on knowledge and extensive information you'll need to run your franchise smoothly.
Not all franchises offer thorough and efficient training, but Germinator does. And it's the transfer of business know-how by the franchisor that plays a significant role in the success of our franchisees.
It certainly helps that the CEO and founder, Jeff Gill, has also founded many successful businesses throughout his career. He's a proven industry leader whose experience is available for our franchisees to learn from, helping them achieve success. Our current franchisees connect and share ideas to help each other grow during our franchisee community meetings!
- Germinator has the best sanitizing and disinfecting solutions available on the market. For example, or star sanitizing and disinfecting solution for our service-based offering is hypochlorous acid or HOCl.
Right now, the market is seeing a surge in the usage of HOCl compared to other agents because of its effective properties against pathogens and odors without harsh fumes or chemicals. We've already walked the walk with our experiences and tested many products and processes to develop the most effective solutions.
That's how we create what we call Germinator Zones. Spaces that have been tested, sanitized and disinfected against the new world of germs using the most advanced antimicrobial protection on the market.
With our combination of services and products, you'll have the edge over your competitors in this very lucrative but competitive industry.
