If you’re looking for a low-cost business investment then it’s worth considering the cleaning sector. And right now there are 66 cleaning opportunities available on Inside Franchise Business across Australia and New Zealand.
Why buy a cleaning business? Well, apart from the low investment level there are minimal set-up costs and plenty of flexibility. A cleaning franchise allows you to enter the business ownership market without a massive spend, and begin to take charge of your life.
And there’s more than one type of cleaning franchise – there’s something for everyone.
Think hands-on residential cleaning business or a management role as a commercial cleaning franchisee.
Think niche or general. You could be cleaning ovens or pools, for instance, or operating a general cleaning franchise which offers multiple divisions.
If you pick a cleaning franchise as the route to a new-found freedom you can choose whether or not you want to be a long-term hands-on operator. Perhaps a management style role where you can subcontract work and direct everything from your home office will be a more suitable choice for you?
Within the 66 opportunities currently available, there are both brand new or so-called greenfield sites as well as existing territories to purchase.
In a greenfield site you’ll be introducing the brand to the neighourhood and building up the business from scratch.
An existing territory offers you the chance to start your business with a solid customer base and build up from there. There will of course be a cost difference – you’ll be paying for the goodwill of an established business.
It’s important to check the details of the territory up for sale because the level of exclusivity will have an impact on how you, and maybe fellow franchisees, can operate within the area.
Find out too how you can grow the business – can you for instance, sub divide your territory? Can you add a neighbouring area and take on staff? Will there be multiple revenue options available – services and products, for instance.
If you’re tempted, there’s no time like right now to take a look.
