NIC Local FranchiseBusiness Model
How you can capitalise on a vast sector with continuous demand
If you’re looking for a business venture that combines stability, growth potential, and the support of a highly experienced team, NIC Local is the place for you.
As the UK’s leading commercial cleaning and facilities management franchise opportunity, you will be provided with all the skills and knowledge you need to build an immensely scalable business.
Our tried and trusted business model is built on three core pillars:
1. Build a recurring income
2. Be your own boss
3. Grow an asset to sell
Build a recurring income from contract cleaning and facilities management
Being an NIC Local franchisee means building a business that provides regular commercial cleaning and facilities management solutions for contracted clients.
With the majority of our clients being contracted to regular (often daily) cleaning services, our franchisees’ businesses remain largely unaffected by seasonal or economic influences. Whilst many other sectors are struggling in the current environment, our services have become even more valued.
Who your clients will be
By leveraging your prior career, contacts and sector experience to your benefit – with your NIC Local business development team alongside you – your business will serve a range of locally-based contracts.
These will come from a diverse range of sectors, including schools, colleges, university accommodation, offices, doctor and dental surgeries, retail outlets, car dealerships, hotels, pubs and restaurants – the list is endless.
The dedicated team you will oversee will deliver a range of relatively simple yet essential services, ensuring your clients’ premises are clean, safe, and well-maintained.
By forging deep client relationships and consistently adding more contracts – as well as additional services for existing clients – you will enjoy a strong recurring income, providing you with financial security and peace of mind.
Your role as an NIC Local franchisee
As an NIC Local business owner, with the ongoing help and support from your Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for managing the provision of commercial cleaning and facilities services to clients and growing the business. You will be your own boss.
Initially you can work from your home office if you prefer, focusing on growing your contracts, with the constant support of your assigned business development manager’s 1-2-1 guidance across every element of your business. This will enable you to learn and grow in confidence as you work together.
Once your business is established, your role elevates to leading your management team, who will oversee your operators. This will free you to focus on maintaining and building client relationships.
An unlimited potential to thrive
We have an extensive network of more than 40 NIC Local operations centres, with a group turnover in excess of £175 million.
Many of our Franchise partners have been with us for between 15-20 years, which demonstrates our unique systems and ongoing life time support by our Business Development Managers really works.
With relentless demand, commercial cleaning represents a virtually recession-proof, low-risk investment. According to IBISWorld, market revenue grew 6.8% in 2022 and was worth £6.8bn.
Benefit from brilliant brand awareness
Your business will benefit from the enormous value of our market-leading brand.
We have an enviable reputation for excellence, and our senior management team has over 50 years of experience at the forefront of the cleaning and support services industry. Our name is synonymous with quality, reliability, and professionalism.
By aligning yourself with us, you’ll gain instant credibility and trust from potential clients, giving you a significant edge over independent commercial cleaning operators.
Sell your asset when the time is right for you
With no limitations on growth, your NIC Local franchise has the potential to become an asset worth millions of pounds which you can realise when you are ready to exit the business – as evidenced by multiple successful resales. More information about this can be found on our Financials page.
A strong and stable income, a brilliant work-life balance, and the potential to build a highly valuable asset that can truly change your life – everything is possible as an NIC Local business owner.
