If you’re looking to build and scale a business, the most attractive model is a management franchise which allows you to grow your business whilst leading a team to deliver the end service.
In a management franchise the adage is true, you will work on the business rather than in the business. NIC Franchisees are not cleaners. As an NIC franchisee, your time would typically be spent on:
- Business Development
- Client Management
- Compliance and managing standards.
- Leading a team of cleaning colleagues to deliver the agreed services to clients
A management franchises like ours gives you opportunities for growth and the stimulation of building a large, successful business – with our support, franchisees are able to build multi-million-pound turnover businesses.
Being a management franchise, we do not look for franchisees with prior experience in commercial cleaning as we provide you with the training and tools needed to succeed. We award our franchise rights to individuals who have strong people skills, a can-do attitude, a willingness to learn, and the drive to build a substantial business.
We know what it takes to run a successful business and deliver to our franchisees training that, as well as giving them the operational knowledge, ensures that they have the knowledge and confidence to develop their business using our proven systems and methods.
The ongoing support we provide our franchisees builds on what we deliver on the training course. Knowing that a sizeable proportion of our franchisees time will be spent on business development activities, we have invested in a team of Business Development Managers (BDM) to support our franchisees.
With an industry leading ratio of BDM to franchisee, we are available to support our franchisees through the entire sales cycle from implementing their local marketing strategy through to operational support mobilising the contracts won.
This vital support is available at no added cost for as long as you are a franchisee with us.
The BDM’s will also collaborate with you to build your team structure, identifying when the time is right to employ area supervisors within your business who will focus on operational delivery of the services leaving you free to focus on growth, relationship management and overall strategy.
We also know that the administrative tasks that are unavoidable in running your own business would normally take you away from business development activities which is why, in addition to the BDM support, we provide our franchisees with comprehensive back-office support taking care of your invoicing, collections, debt management and payroll.
A key feature of management franchises is scalability. Because our franchisee’s primary role does not include the physical delivery every operational detail, it is easier to manage your time to scale your business.
You will employ, train, and lead a team to manage operations, allowing you to focus on working with your BDM to maximise growth opportunities.
Investing in a management franchise offers a unique combination of benefits, including a proven business model, scalability, and access to proven systems. With the level of ongoing support NIC provides, franchisees are set up for success, even without prior experience in the industry.
These factors make an NIC management franchise a compelling investment option, particularly for individuals looking to build a business without the risks and challenges associated with beginning from nothing.
