2011
- Excellent Reputation
- Very Loyal Customer Base
- Huge Growth Potential
- Low Overheads
- Well Equipped Business
Established in 2011, this specialised cleaning franchise in Cornwall has built a strong reputation over 13 successful years, offering services such as dry carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, hard floor cleaning, and leather restoration and recolouring.
As the current owners are preparing to retire, a new owner has the unique opportunity to take over a well-established and thriving franchise.
The business operates from a home-based setup, with additional rented storage facilities for vans and equipment, making it fully relocatable. While it primarily serves Cornwall, the franchise occasionally extends its services to Devon, offering a broad and flexible customer base.
Supported by solid franchisor backing, established branding, and word-of-mouth referrals, this franchise provides both stability and significant growth potential.
Its home-based nature, combined with a strong foundation, makes it a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for a new owner to expand and build upon.
The current owners maintain a Google Ads campaign that ensures they stay at the top of the listings.
With the current owners open to negotiating a transition period, the business promises a seamless handover for continued success.
The business is available to be purchased either as a franchise or as an independent business.
The business operates as a home-based franchise with a focus on dry carpet cleaning, upholstery, hard floor cleaning, and leather restoration and recolouring.
It has been under the current ownership for 13 years, during which time it has grown steadily. As a Zerodrytime franchisee, they operate independently, managing their own own customer acquisition and advertising, with support from the Franchisor available as needed.
The business is equipped with £20,000 worth of assets, including vehicles and specialised cleaning equipment. The owners currently manage the day-to-day operations, with 1 handling administrative tasks and the other performing most of the cleaning services. The business employs 1 additional staff member, making it a lean operation with low overhead costs.
The flexibility of being home-based and the strong support from the franchisor make this an attractive opportunity for someone looking to step into a successful and established business.
There is significant potential for growth with this franchise. The new owner could expand into neighbouring areas like Plymouth and North Cornwall, where no franchises exist.
There's also potential to offer holiday let cleaning services, a frequently requested but untapped opportunity.
Although the current owners have kept the business relatively small, there is ample opportunity to scale by hiring more staff and increasing marketing efforts, especially in areas not currently serviced.
The franchisor provides strong support, including advertising and customer inquiries, which can be further leveraged to grow the customer base.
Additionally, the business could explore offering new services within the cleaning sector to diversify revenue streams.
