How many people can be named as the 'Franchisee' in the Buildingstars Technician Program?
Buildingstars Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The Technician Program is for individuals who want to get into the cleaning business with relatively low overhead and want to provide the cleaning services in smaller buildings themselves. With this type of franchise program, you cannot hire any additional employees, but instead you are required to do all of the cleaning yourself. Each person who performs services must sign as the "Franchisee." No more than 2 persons may be named as the "Franchisee". Since you provide the cleaning personally, the size of Customer Accounts you can service is relatively small. Since this program allows people to "try" this type of business, the attrition rate for franchisees leaving the System is higher than normal.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technician Program is designed for individuals who want to enter the cleaning business with minimal overhead and personally provide the cleaning services in smaller buildings. A key aspect of this program is that franchisees are not permitted to hire additional employees; instead, they must perform all cleaning tasks themselves.
For the Buildingstars Technician Program, the FDD specifies that no more than two individuals can be named as the "Franchisee." This means that a maximum of two people can jointly own and operate a single Technician Program franchise. Each person performing the cleaning services must be officially designated as the "Franchisee."
This restriction is directly tied to the hands-on nature of the Technician Program, where the owners themselves are expected to carry out the cleaning duties. The size of customer accounts that a Technician Program franchisee can handle is relatively small, reflecting the limited capacity of a business operated solely by the franchisees. The FDD also notes that the attrition rate for franchisees leaving the Buildingstars system is higher than normal for this program, possibly due to the intensive labor requirements and limited scalability.
