Unlike most franchises, there is no franchise fee to start but you do need to buy your own cleaning equipment from a retailer of your choice. Bryce started Mr. Steam as a way to make entrepreneurship easier for people and to give people an opportunity to change their lives. He wants to help people who feel trapped by their 9-5 job and is using the carpet cleaning industry to accomplish that. 

Bryce needs to dedicate around 20-40 hours a week to the Mr. Steam brand. This involves supporting franchisees, hosting meetings, improving our website design and continually producing new marketing material for everyone to post on their social media. 

To support this necessary work, there is a 10% royalty on sales. If you were to hire someone to do all of this work for you, it would cost thousands of dollars per month because you would need to hire a business coach, web designer and social media manger. Instead, Bryce is able to provide these services to every Mr. Steam franchisee at a fraction of the cost because anything he creates for 1 location can be used for all locations.

Check out any of our current Mr. Steam locations on Google. You’ll see that the marketing content is similar across of them because everything created for 1 Mr. Steam is copy and pasted for the rest of the group! 

It’s a really smart way for us to gain a competitive advantage over companies that are trying to do everything solo.
