Take control of the future with the Betterclean Services franchise

Take a look at the Betterclean Services multi-million pound, multi-territory, scalable business model

It’s a common dream to want to build your own business and take control of your future. What often happens is that people search for a route to becoming their own boss and end up being self-employed. There is nothing wrong with this and the rewards are often significantly higher than the employed role they left behind. However, smart, ambitious investors strive to build a scalable business that can grow far larger and, in theory, be more easily sold on.

Your future lifestyle and financial rewards will most probably be the key influencers on which route you take to becoming your own boss. If ‘working on’ building your own scalable business appeals to you more than becoming self-employed and ‘working in’ your own business, you should look at proven management business opportunities.

Foundations
—————-

Developed on the solid foundations of a recession resistant service and boasting a 96 per cent customer retention rate, the Betterclean Services multi-million pound, multi-territory, scalable business model is clearly a smart investment. A true management business opportunity, Betterclean Services provides first class commercial cleaning to a wide range of properties, including offices, schools, libraries and surgeries. Each territory is capable of generating £1 million-plus per annum, with one of the highest net profit margins in the sector.

Based around residual income, this is not a sales focused opportunity, although customer relationships are very important. Almost all of Betterclean Services’ franchise owners have joined from former senior management roles, with each possessing a similar desire to work on building their own business. Franchise owners employ a supervisor to manage their cleaners, audit the work and keep on top of stock and cleaning equipment from day one.

“Before I invested, I did my due diligence and Betterclean Service stood out as the best business to business management franchise of all the opportunities I looked into,” says John Goodyear from Betterclean Services York.

“I started in October 2012 and despite Christmas I have four ongoing contracts signed on top of several ad-hoc jobs, some of which resulted from the recent flooding. I believe I made the right choice investing with Betterclean Services. Dan, Mike and the franchise support team have been excellent and it is great to be part of a network of like-minded franchise owners.”

Betterclean Services’ managing director Dan van Kuyk is a former franchisee himself and brings his experience, along with an organised and highly professional approach, to lead the company’s franchise owner support team.

“I purposely designed the Betterclean franchise opportunity to allow franchise owners to be ‘business owners’ and not ‘salespeople’ or ‘managers’,” he explains. “There are a lot of franchise opportunities in the marketplace that will find the work for you, but then all you are doing is managing the business, not owning it and growing it yourself.”

Betterclean Services has a business development culture, where ideas are continuously tested and proved to evolve the franchise package. “That’s why, from January 2013, we bolted in a new 12-month start-up marketing package, amongst other additions,” says Dan. “I know it’s support that those who want to join our network will welcome.

“This latest set of improvements have been thoroughly tested, with all the research and development funded by head office. We’re more than happy to do that because we’re confident it will help new members of the network get the start they need. The bolstered start-up package will provide increased training, a whole year of accountancy and 12 months’ targeted cross channel promotional campaigns and related support to attract local customers. The overall investment will remain unchanged.”

Territories
——————

The scientifically calculated territories mirror the company’s successful template in south west England, ensuring each franchise owner has more than enough target customers to achieve their growth objectives. Those with more ambition and who show the necessary skills have progressed to purchase two territories.

It is unlikely you will enter into much competition up to £1 million turnover, as although the potential market is vast, Betterclean Services has identified some very lucrative niches. Growing your business further within your territory will mean you will most likely need to actively start taking business from competitors.

Accredited by the British Franchise Association, you will need a total of £45,000 (plus VAT) to start your Betterclean Services business. Successful candidates will generally come from a senior management background, have a keen commercial awareness and exceptional client relationship management skills.
