I don't know anything about janitorial services, but I looked into franchise resales. Pros: franchises have proven playbook / systems which can limit downside risk of changing ownership and offer resources to help you be successful; Cons: franchise upside is usually limited by territory size (e.g. there is a limit on how much you can grow organically; you eventually have to acquire more territories to grow), franchise royalties and marketing fees can really eat into your bottom line, making it hard to earn well.
