Interested in running your own business? NIC Local is bringing its Discovery Evenings to London and Lincoln this autumn, offering prospective franchise owners the opportunity to explore business ownership, meet the team and discover the support available.
Taking the first step towards business ownership can feel like a big decision. That’s why NIC Local is hosting two informal Discovery Evenings designed to help people understand the opportunity, ask questions and decide whether franchising could be the right next move for them.
With presentations from the team and the opportunity for optional one-to-one meetings, these events provide a welcoming environment to learn more about the NIC Local franchise opportunity, without the pressure.
London Discovery Evening – Wednesday 28 October 2026

What can you expect from a NIC Local Discovery Evening?
Whether you are exploring a career change, considering self-employment or looking for a new business opportunity, the evenings are designed to help you make a more informed decision.
You will be able to learn about the NIC Local franchise model, understand the support available and ask the questions that matter to you. There is no expectation to make a decision on the night — the focus is on providing the information and insight you need to explore your options.
NIC Local operates in the commercial cleaning sector, with franchise owners managing client relationships, contracts and cleaning teams rather than carrying out the cleaning themselves.
The Discovery Evenings offer an opportunity to find out more about this management-based business model and what running your own NIC Local business could look like.
