A relationship business
You Sell and Manage.
Contractors Do the Work.
City Wide acts as the general contractor for a building's maintenance. You win the contract, manage the relationship and keep the client happy. Vetted independent contractors handle the service itself, from janitorial and day porters to floor care, window cleaning, handyman work, landscaping, snow removal and parking lot repair.
One point of contact
Property managers trade a dozen vendors for one relationship, with 20+ services under one roof.
No crews, no equipment
No hourly service employees, no trucks full of gear and no inventory. You build a sales team, not a cleaning crew.

Read this before you read the numbers
These are gross sales: total billings to clients, not profit. Most of every dollar billed pays the independent contractors who do the work. The FDD's Item 19 also reports contractor costs and gross margin by quartile, and we'll walk you through them. Results come from franchisees who met the Item 19 criteria. Some outlets have sold this amount. Your results may differ, and there is no assurance you will sell as much.

TFI / FIELD NOTES
The Franchise Insiders
The franchisor will tell you why to buy. We'll help you decide whether you should.
Jack helped scale TheKey Home Care's franchise system from 30 to more than 250 locations and was on its leadership team through its private-equity sale. Jill spent fifteen years in marketing and enterprise sales, including at IBM and Wynn Las Vegas, before co-founding The Franchise Insiders. Together we've helped more than 870 people become franchise owners.
Our guidance is free to you. Franchisors pay The Franchise Insiders when a client buys.
This page is for general information and is not an offer to sell a franchise. An offer can only be made through delivery of the franchisor's current Franchise Disclosure Document in compliance with applicable franchise laws. Several states regulate franchise sales and require pre-sale registration and disclosure. Financial figures are from Item 19 of City Wide's Franchise Disclosure Document issued April 1, 2026, and reflect gross sales, not profit. The Franchise Insiders receives commissions on franchise purchases made through our referrals.
