AdvantaClean provides franchisees with a Protected Territory, typically covering a population of at least 200,000. While no other franchise offering the same services will be placed in this area, the territory is not exclusive. Franchisees may still face competition from company-owned outlets or other distribution methods.
The franchisor may assign jobs in the Protected Territory to others in emergencies or for large-scale or complex projects. National Accounts are fully controlled by the franchisor, and work in the territory may be done by others without compensation to the local franchisee.
