Stratus Clean - Kelowna

“You Don’t Clean. You Build a Business.” Stratus Clean is one of North America’s fastest-growing commercial cleaning franchise systems in the US and Canada. Unlike a traditional cleaning franchise, Stratus Master Franchisees don’t perform cleaning services themselves; they recruit, train, and support a network of Unit Franchisees within their own exclusive, protected territory, while Stratus provides the systems, technology, and national brand behind them. The result is an executive-level business built on recurring commercial contracts, not physical labour. Every Stratus territory serves the businesses that keep a community running, including offices, medical facilities, schools, retail centres, and industrial sites with reliable, Green Seal–certified cleaning delivered through the Unit Franchisees a Master Franchisee builds and supports. Owning a Stratus Master Franchise means building a business that keeps other local businesses clean, safe, and running smoothly, day in and day out. 8 Reasons Why Stratus Clean Master Franchises Succeed • Exclusive, Protected Canadian Territories • Proven Systems Backed by 150+ Years of Combined Franchise Leadership Experience • A Committed Network of 97+ Master Franchisees Across North America • A Dedicated Onboarding Coach From Day One • A National Accounts Program That Opens Doors a Single Operator Couldn’t • Consecutive Years of Recognition as One of Entrepreneur’s Fastest-Growing Franchises • Established U.S. Infrastructure Now Backing New Canadian Territories • A Recession-Resistant, Essential-Service Industry Commercial cleaning is considered an essential service, and demand for it doesn’t disappear when the economy slows. Offices, hospitals, schools, and retail spaces all need to stay clean regardless of interest rates, real estate cycles, or stock market swings. With roughly 90% of Stratus’s revenue coming from recurring commercial contracts, Master Franchisees build predictable, long-term income rather than one-off sales. For the right candidate, this is a career with real room to grow. The chance to build a scalable, multi-employee network rather than trade hours for dollars. Stratus looks for driven, relationship-focused professionals with a strong sales or leadership background, not necessarily anyone with cleaning industry experience. Our Benefits • Executive Model – No Cleaning Required • Stability – Recession-Resistant, Essential-Service Industry • Recurring Revenue – Up to 90% From Ongoing Commercial Contracts • Multiple Revenue Streams – Nine Distinct Income Sources • Territory Ownership – Exclusive, Protected Region • Scalability – Grow a Team Without Doing the Cleaning Yourself • Proven Systems – Nearly 20 Years as a National Franchisor • Peer Network – 97+ Master Franchisees to Learn From • Recognition – Ranked #1 Fastest-Growing Franchise by Entrepreneur (4 Consecutive Years) We Take Franchisee Fit Seriously Stratus screens candidates as carefully as candidates should screen the opportunity. This isn’t a passive investment. A Master Franchisee’s success depends on how well they recruit, train, and manage the relationships they’ll build daily with Unit Franchisees, commercial clients, and their own local team. Candidates should have a minimum total investment of approximately $300,000 CAD, including roughly $200,000 CAD in liquid capital, plus a franchise fee starting at $75,000 CAD (calculated by territory population). No Commercial Cleaning Experience Required Rather than industry background, Stratus looks for strong sales and B2B relationship-building skills, a track record of leading or scaling a team, and comfort with the financial side of running a business. Comprehensive training and a dedicated onboarding coach fill in everything else. Nearly 20 Years as a National Franchisor Stratus has spent close to two decades building one of the largest commercial cleaning franchise systems in North America with 97+ Master Franchise territories and 5,500+ Unit Franchisees strong. Select territories are currently available across Canada, bringing the brand’s Green Seal–certified product line and StratusConnect technology platform into new markets. Access to a National Accounts Program Beyond the contracts a Master Franchisee builds locally, Stratus’s National Accounts program gives territories access to larger, multi-location commercial contracts that an independent operator couldn’t win on their own. This is a meaningful edge in landing bigger clients faster. If you have the capital, the leadership background, and the drive to build rather than clean, we’d like to talk.
