Market Competition
The market which you will serve is located in commercial and government office buildings, retail stores and other commercial buildings within your Designated Territory. As of the date of this Disclosure Document, the market for commercial janitorial services, carpet cleaning, window washing, and maintenance services for commercial and retail buildings is highly competitive. You will be competing with independent janitorial and maintenance services offering similar services. Some of these competitors will be independently owned and operated, while others will be like franchise operations. You will also face normal business risks that could have an adverse effect on your Franchised Business. These include
industry developments, such as pricing policies of competitors, and supply and demand. Another risk factor is CITY WIDE's dependence on key personnel, the loss of whom could have an adverse effect on CITY WIDE. CITY WIDE's ability to fulfill CITY WIDE's obligations under the Franchise Agreement depends in part on CITY WIDE's present and future financial condition.
