A window cleaning franchise.
About Us
Fish Window Cleaning embodies that famous quote: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.” We are glad you are interested in learning about this unique, 30+ year proven business opportunity. Over 170 franchisees coast to coast are a part of the only national window cleaning franchise focusing on year round, repeat commercial businesses. The FISH owners experience a business that gives them a great lifestyle immediately (no work on 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.

Support
Mike Merrick’s vision of FISH was to have a franchisor that would only grow and be successful if the franchisees were growing and successful. From day one, royalties have been reinvested into the support team to assist the franchisees in building their business. That is why we say, “You’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself”.
FISH's support begins immediately once a new franchisee joins FISH. The dedicated Training Director walks new franchisees through the pre-training steps and then overseas their time in training school. New franchisees are also assigned a dedicated District Manager who assist them in developing a customized business plan, help them in the many areas of training school such as bidding, mapping, employee hiring, etc. and then in the first person who shows up in their market to help them build the business.
As new franchisees ramp up, the District Manager is your go to lifeline for any and all questions, but in addition to the District Manager, there are also key people who support you in areas including marketing, human resources, vendors, national accounts, tech support, and sales.
The DM’s support continues with ongoing business calls and field visits. Each year, the operations department spends over 250 days on the road visiting new and existing franchisees. FISH believes in having feet on the street in your market, building that important relationship with you, and helping you drive your business.
As your partner, we are always looking for ways to land new customers in your market. We accomplish this through national accounts, an out-bound call center, a franchisee driven website, and search engine optimization.
In addition to staff support, our system includes annual and regional meetings, proprietary software, an intranet with online manuals and document library, a preferred vendor program, and a franchisee network committed to your success.
