How does the Domestic Angels franchise model work?
As the boss of your Domestic Angels franchise, your key areas of focus are customer relationships and marketing. It’s all about communication, organisation and the admin to make it all happen.
Marketing: You will need to tell your prospects that you are open for business and ready to look after them. Domestic Angels will set up your website and socials to get you underway and its expert team will provide training resulting in a marketing plan. Domestic Angels has got loads of visuals for you to use, you don’t need to be a graphic designer but if you enjoy creating images, so long as they fit the bill, Domestic Angels are happy.
Customer relationships: People buy from people, talking to and supporting your prospects, customers and staff will be key to your success. Yes, your staff are also customers of your communications, if they are fully engaged and informed, your customers will be better looked after and your life will be so much easier.
Organisation and admin: You will hold the reins on allocating work to your “Angels”, finding the right balance to fit with their availability and your customers’ needs. You will use Domestic Angels’ #smartdiary, Halo, to onboard your customers and staff so that you can book in work. Halo connects directly to the central accountancy system so we will be looking after your invoices, reconciliation, wage roll generation etc, all with your approval and monitoring. We’ll show you how this all works and fits together during discovery sessions and training.
Touchpoint contract: Even once you have completed training and your 90 days accelerated launch, Domestic Angels will still be working with you. It has a touchpoint contract in place so that you can chat regularly, respond to your queries in a timely manner and continue training.
What is Domestic Angels looking for in its franchisees?
The relationship between franchisee and franchisor is symbiotic, your success is its success.

There are many successful business owners around the world who are franchise owners, possibly even multi-franchise owners. These are entrepreneurs with a very special combination of strengths who thrive and grow within the franchise arena. Their decision to seek out a business franchise to buy was no mistake. In the 21st century world of franchising, options aren’t just big-ticket or multi-layer marketing, they are sophisticated home-based opportunities making you a manager, an employer and owner of a long-term successful business with a future. Can you identify with the following traits for success?
• Motivated by results : You really enjoy achieving as an individual and as a team leader. You like goals, fulfilling them and you constantly review the route you are taking to these achievements to stay on track for success.
• Eyes on the prize: You are happy to roll up your sleeves and put in the time for work and play, it’ll pay off in the long run. You imagine the possibilities for the future as a long-term result that motivates your day-to-day activities.
• Chief cheerleader: You can make business happen, care about success and recognise efforts. You don’t expect to sit back and wait for business to come to you, you like to get out there and not only find it but attract it due to your enthusiasm. You recognise and relate to others who have your same ‘get up and go’ attitude to life.
• Optimist: Your glass is always half full. You see opportunities, not threats. You see options, not problems. You focus on solutions rather than wasting time pondering what went wrong or what might have been.
• People person: You can identify, relate to and empathise with your clients, keep good morale amongst your team, succeed at networking and become a voice within your community. You are quick to understand that regardless of what business you are in, everyone is a customer of your communications with clients and employees the most important factors in your success. Building relationships and keeping in favour come very naturally to you.
• Plan for success: You like direction, a plan for success, basically business model+you=success. You know you have the traits for success, put these together with a proven business model and all the support and processes required of a good quality franchise and you offset the business and personal risks which would concern you going it alone.

Challenges excite you, they get you up in the morning and make you bubble over with intrigue and energy.

You always have a good idea of what is going on but very little causes you to panic or cause a scene, your ability to focus on the solution and the future overrides everything else resulting in success. Focussing on essential and important tasks keeps you calm and gives your team members and customers peace of mind.

The term is five years with the option to renew for a further five years.
Why is Domestic Angels a good investment?
When it first looked at franchising, Domestic Angels felt that many options were highly-priced with minimal value. It looked as though folks were handing over their hard-earned cash for empty shoeboxes.
Domestic Angels has been on a mission ever since to overfill its shoebox. It wants its franchise offering to give as much as possible and more. Domestic Angels works together with international coaches and the Bournemouth MBA team to regularly review what it does and where it’s going; to look to the future and constantly strengthen what is on offer.
This is as much for you as it is for the company. It needs you to succeed for it to succeed so why wouldn’t Domestic Angels obsess with continual improvement? It also actively encourages franchisees to question and suggest ideas for the business; you are at the coalface. It respects everyone’s points of view. This gives you the ability to directly influence the overall business if you feel the need. Domestic Angels likes engagement.
How in demand is Domestic Angels’ service?
Demand for help in the home has been increasing year on year as the UK culture since the turn of the century and in particular, since 2008 when a value shift occurred triggering the change in family priorities, making time together a fact rather than fiction.
Through lockdowns, this value has been intensified and grown exponentially with so many people genuinely experiencing family time and personal time for the first time during their working lives. They have experienced the benefits of this time first-hand and how it brings balance, that we don’t live to work that we work to live and people want this value to persist in life.
Elderly and vulnerable members of our society became incredibly isolated with relatives unable to visit or even help in many cases. This restriction has thrown a spotlight on the quality of life for these special people in our lives and the need for help in their homes regardless of restrictions but more importantly, the need for trustworthy relationships that give relatives peace of mind.
And finally, the staycation market is big in the UK and will remain so for a few years whilst people adjust to the post-pandemic world. In summary, demand is high and only getting higher.
