Franchising: It Takes Two to Tango

Unlike setting up in business all by yourself, franchising offers a special partnership where both parties need to come together to make the business work. Just as you may now be considering which cleaning franchise is the right opportunity for you, so too will the franchisor be assessing your suitability to join their already successful network.

When done correctly, the combination of franchisor and franchisee can be incredibly powerful. The franchisor will bring experience and of course the power and recognition of their brand and the franchisee can bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm and dedication to the table.

The franchisor has an already successful business model, so they are in the advantageous position of knowing what they are looking for, but the benefits work both ways – as a franchisee you will be buying into an established brand and you’ll have this template to follow to put you on the path to success.

It is in both parties’ best interests that the franchise is a success – the better the new franchisee performs, the better the brand performs overall and the greater potential there is for earnings on both sides of the fence.

At Domestique we have excellent franchise opportunities for hard-working individuals who are looking to run their own domestic cleaning business. To demonstrate our commitment to the working relationship, here are some questions we have put together to help you decide if becoming a franchisee is right for you – why not have a look through and give us a call if you’d like to explore our franchise opportunities together?

  1. Ask yourself why you are looking for this opportunity – is it for more money, greater success or increased freedom?

  2. Decide how much time you have to commit – we’ll need to get a better understanding of the working hours you are looking to put into this venture and what your longer-term plans are.

  3. Consider the budget you have to invest – franchise opportunities vary in terms of initial commitment and at Domestique we are proud to offer very reasonable levels of initial investment, plus we are currently running an offer where we are waiving our management fee for the first 12 months.

  4. Ask yourself if you are passionate about cleaning – of course you won’t be expected to carry out the cleaning yourself, but it may help if you have an understanding of the types of tasks involved or have any previous experience of the industry. Which brings us on to the final point…

  5. Do your research – having an understanding of your target market and current industry statistics will demonstrate your commitment to the franchising relationship. You can also get more information and support from the Approved Franchise Association, Franchising Works or the British Franchise Association.
