KTV seeks drone-cleaning franchisees in Mexico

KTV Working Drone is seeking franchisees in Mexico to develop its network of drone-based cleaning services for façades and structures at height. Its Mexican website is accepting applications from candidates in every state, adding a specialist business-to-business service to the country’s franchise opportunities.

A nationwide recruitment drive

The search for operators, reported by L’Express Franchise on 30 October 2026, follows KTV’s announcement of a partner for Mexico in December 2023. Applications are now open to interested candidates from any Mexican state.

This nationwide recruitment drive should not be confused with nationwide operations. The announcement concerns the search for candidates, not confirmed openings in every state. For anyone considering joining, territory availability and terms should be clearly defined in the commercial proposal and contract.

The opportunity involves running a service for businesses that need façades, windows and hard-to-reach structures cleaned. Unlike consumer-facing franchises operating from retail premises, the work is carried out on buildings and requires a combination of equipment, procedures and documentation for each job.

How the cleaning model works

KTV’s method avoids mechanical brushing. The drone applies filtered water to the surface, with the procedure varying according to the material and type of work. The proposition is therefore not simply about buying equipment, but about using it within an operating system.

The reference model comprises five components: a drone adapted for cleaning at height; training and operating manuals; the BlueTag digital system; technical and commercial support; and a team dedicated to developing new methods.

BlueTag brings together checklists, risk assessments, reports and images for each job. Its role is to centralise job documentation while supporting operating procedures.

For prospective franchisees, these elements highlight what to examine during their assessment: not just the drone’s specifications, but also the scope of training, the procedures they will need to follow and the support they will receive. The Mexican website explicitly states that equipment, licences, training, support and local terms must be confirmed in the relevant proposal and contract.

International expansion as a reference point

KTV’s corporate website reports 65 country franchisees signed by the end of 2024. In May 2023, the network reported 27 country partners. These figures reflect its international expansion and do not represent the number of operators or franchise opportunities available in Mexico.

Under this international model, each country franchisee receives exclusive master franchise rights, training and accreditation for two pilots, and access to SelfCleaner cleaning chemicals. The structure also includes sub-franchisees, which pay 10% of their turnover, split equally between the country franchisee and KTV Group.

These features help explain how the network is organised, but should not automatically be assumed to apply to a Mexican offer. The local website’s own caveat makes it important to distinguish between the international reference model and the specific commitments offered to each candidate in Mexico.

What to check before joining

The recruitment drive offers another option in the specialist services franchise sector. However, a financial assessment requires written details of the total investment, ongoing fees and terms governing the allocated territory, as well as the precise contents of the operating package.

Candidates should also request the franchisor’s pre-contractual disclosure information. Mexican industrial property law requires this to be provided before the contract is signed. This documentation should form part of the review, alongside the commercial and technical terms offered for operating in the country.

Practical takeaway: before committing funds, candidates should check the Mexican proposal against the contract and verify exactly what equipment, training, support, fees and territorial rights their franchise agreement includes.
