What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Buildingstars, Inc. has not offered or sold any franchises in any other line of business as of the date of the document. The document specifies that Buildingstars, Inc. previously operated a similar business and granted franchises and independent contractor rights from 1994 to 1999, but transferred these to Buildingstars Management, Inc. Since then, Buildingstars, Inc. has focused on its core commercial cleaning franchise offering.
However, the FDD mentions Green Sky Franchise Group, Inc., an affiliate of Buildingstars, which was created to sell "Green Sky Cleaning Supply" franchises starting in September 2009. Although Green Sky Franchise Group, Inc. is no longer offering these franchises, it indicates that Buildingstars's affiliates have been involved in related business ventures. Green Sky Southwest, Inc., another affiliate, sells cleaning supplies and equipment to some franchisees.
Therefore, while Buildingstars, Inc. itself has not offered franchises in other lines of business, its affiliates have been involved in selling cleaning supply franchises. A prospective franchisee should be aware of these related businesses and how they might interact with the Buildingstars franchise. It would be prudent to inquire about any potential conflicts of interest or required purchases from affiliated companies during the due diligence process.
