In a Job Market Full of Questions, Stratus Offers a Proven Path Forward
With economic uncertainty on the rise and layoffs dominating headlines, more people are reevaluating their careers—and looking for something they can control. One increasingly considered solution? Buying a business. Franchising offers structure, support, and stability, especially in industries that continue to grow no matter the economic climate.
Stratus Building Solutions provides a way forward for individuals seeking to step into business ownership—whether through our regional Master Franchise opportunity or our local Unit Franchise program. Both models offer distinct advantages, but share the same foundation: a franchise system designed to work from the start.
Unit franchisees typically provide commercial cleaning services directly to clients, supported by Stratus’ branded materials, eco-friendly tools, and training certifications. Many begin part-time and expand as their business grows. The initial investment starts at just $4,450, and all veterans receive a 10% discount on franchise fees.
Master franchisees operate exclusive territories, supporting unit owners in their region and overseeing growth. They benefit from nine revenue streams and Stratus’ national reputation for excellence. This model allows for broader regional impact and long-term scalability.
Stratus has shown remarkable resilience during economic downturns, with 73% unit growth over the past three years. Whether you’re entering business ownership for the first time or expanding your entrepreneurial reach, Stratus offers a reliable and flexible path forward.
In today’s shifting job landscape, Stratus helps people build something stronger than a paycheck—a future they can own.
