Whether we like it or not, cleaning is something we all have to do at home and sometimes also in the workplace. When people are busy they resent the time they have to spend pushing a hoover around the place and so cleaning franchises are always a good bet. If you are looking for a cleaning franchise for sale, there are many to choose from; not all depend on general cleaning but may be more specific, for example oven cleaning franchise. When people are looking for someone to clean their home or business they want to feel that they have a reasonably sized company with whom to deal – the days of the little woman down the road helping out are almost done. The UK domestic cleaning sector alone is estimated at in excess of £2.8 billion and with contract cleaning exceeding that at £6 billion it is clear that this is a market with almost endless opportunities. You don’t actually have to like cleaning to get involved in a cleaning franchise. Much of the work is in personnel management and PR.

The great thing about a franchise in the cleaning sector is that you can start small, with just one or two people, so the ability to wield a mop may be an advantage but some of the larger contract cleaning franchises are quite large concerns needing a team of people from the outset. Cleaning agency franchises are also available at very low start-up in which you simply manage a team of freelancers. This kind of business is ideal for people who like to make contacts but don’t have the room or inclination to store large amounts of products. Cleaning franchises suit almost anyone and can be a very part time or totally absorbing business, depending on what you want.
