## The short answer

Running a JAN-PRO region or a JAN-PRO cleaning business already and need capital? Merchant Fund Express funds existing JAN-PRO owners with business loans, merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, lines of credit, equipment financing and working capital from $25,000 to $5,000,000. Commercial clients pay on terms, so we read the gap between the cleaning you have already done and the deposits that follow it, along with management fee and existing payment drafts. A complete file gets a same-day decision, and funding often follows the next business day.

## Who is this page for?

Two kinds of operators. The first is a Regional Developer: a JAN-PRO Franchise Development sub-franchisor that runs an office, sells unit franchises in its territory and wins commercial clients for its owners. The second is a JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting unit owner who services commercial accounts with a crew, a starter kit and any extra equipment added services require.
Both get paid on business terms, not at a register. Read this with the cleaning and restoration franchise funding guide and our cleaning industry page.

## Every way to fund your JAN-PRO location

Already running a JAN-PRO location and need capital? Merchant Fund Express funds existing franchise owners with every product below. Terms depend on the business's revenue and history.
Franchise business loan: A term loan suits a Regional Developer adding sales staff or a second office when the region already shows three years of steady deposits.
Merchant cash advance: An advance sized from deposits covers a sudden cost such as replacing a floor machine without waiting for the next client payment cycle.
Revenue-based financing: Payments that move with deposits fit unit owners whose billing shifts as accounts change.
Business line of credit: A revolving line bridges the weeks between cleaning a new building and the first payment from that client, then resets.
Equipment financing: Auto scrubbers, burnishers, carpet extractors and disinfection sprayers can be financed on a vendor quote over their useful life.
Working capital: Short working capital carries crew and office payroll through a ramp-up when several new accounts start in the same month.

## Which problems do JAN-PRO owners bring to a funding review?

Payroll runs ahead of client payments
Commercial accounts often pay weeks after service, while cleaners are paid every week or two. See cleaning payroll funding.
A Regional Developer office grows before revenue does
Another salesperson or trainer adds fixed cost months before the accounts they win pay out.
Bigger accounts need bigger equipment
A large facility can mean new scrubbers and extractors at once. Our big contract funding page covers sizing it.

## Which product fits which JAN-PRO need?

Need | Product | Published requirement it leans on | What to send |
Crew payroll while new accounts ramp | Working capital | Tier 2: 6+ months in business, FICO 600+, $60K verifiable revenue | 3 months of statements, account list |
Regional office staffing and sales build-out | Business loan | Tier 1: 3+ years, FICO 650+, about $25K/month revenue, 8+ deposits a month | Statements, debt schedule |
Gap between service and client payment | Line of credit | Tier 1, NSFs max 6/month, applicant owns at least 50% | Statements, receivables list |
Scrubbers, burnishers, extractors | Equipment financing | Vendor quote and useful life | Quote, statements |
Invoices to commercial clients on net terms | Invoice factoring | B2B receivables | Aging report, invoices |

## How does the review read a JAN-PRO business?

Which tier is applying. A Regional Developer office and a unit business are separate entities; we read the one that signs.
Deposit rhythm. Commercial payments arrive as ACH or checks, often near month-end, so we read monthly totals and consistency.
Franchise and management fee drafts. Recurring fees to the franchisor or regional office are treated like rent and counted before payment capacity is sized; see royalty debits in a funding file.
Existing positions. Current advances are counted; a new structure can sometimes lower the combined payment. See existing positions.

## What documents does a JAN-PRO funding review need?

About 3 months of business bank statements (PDFs from the bank) for the entity applying
The five-minute application, which starts with a soft credit pull
A list of current accounts or an aging report
Vendor quotes for any cleaning equipment
Full financials only if the request is above $250,000
Merchant Fund Express accepts ITIN applicants and offers Spanish-speaking support, which many cleaning business owners use.

## A hypothetical JAN-PRO budget scenario

Picture a unit owner depositing $42,000 a month. Crew payroll is $22,000, fees to the franchise system are $5,000, supplies and fuel are $3,500 and existing payments are $1,500. The owner just won a large office building and wants $30,000 of working capital for added crew hours and equipment.
Monthly deposits$42,000
Less payroll, fees, supplies, existing payments$42,000 - $22,000 - $5,000 - $3,500 - $1,500 = $10,000
$30,000 repaid over 12 months$2,500/month before cost of funds
Share of what remains$2,500 / $10,000 = 25%
Figures in this example are illustrations of the arithmetic, not an offer, quote or approval. Real terms depend on the file and the funder.

## What if you are buying or opening a JAN-PRO instead?

A new unit or a new region has no deposit history to read, so it needs an operating record before Merchant Fund Express can review it; see buying a franchise. Existing owners adding accounts or another entity are read on current deposits. Taking over an operating business from another owner is covered on franchise transfer financing, and growth into another entity on second location funding.

## Common questions

### Can a JAN-PRO Regional Developer apply, or only unit owners?

Both. Each entity applies separately and is read on its own deposits and obligations.

### Can I fund payroll for new commercial accounts before they pay?

Yes. Working capital or a line of credit can carry crew hours through a new building's first billing cycle.

### Can JAN-PRO owners finance cleaning equipment?

Yes. Scrubbers, extractors and disinfection equipment are reviewed against a vendor quote and useful life.

### Do commercial invoices on net terms help?

They can. Invoice factoring advances against invoices owed by business clients.

### Are you affiliated with JAN-PRO?

No. Merchant Fund Express is independent. We use the JAN-PRO name only to identify the owners this page is for; it does not mean the franchisor endorses or works with us.

Merchant Fund Express is independent. Not affiliated with or endorsed by JAN-PRO or its franchisor.
