You can expect to achieve a net profit margin of over 50 per cent within the first year of trading from generous territories, including at least 10,000 business. No premises are needed, making it the perfect business to run from a home office with minimal outlay.

“With Techclean, no two days are the same,” says Susan Davies, Techclean South Wales franchisee. “It is great working with a variety of people in different environments although the virus has, of course, meant that during the lockdown we have had very little contact with staff to comply with social distancing regulations. I enjoy travelling to client businesses as I would hate to be stuck behind a desk working in an office every day.

“I get a huge amount of satisfaction from my job. We go into an office and in just a few hours we make such a big difference to their working environment. I call the women I work with my ‘dream team’ and clients are always genuinely delighted with the results.”

A Techclean franchise can slot in at any stage of your working life or provide a second income stream alongside an existing business.
