Established Cleaning Business In Essex For Sale

Harlow, Essex, UK
Asking Price:
£12,000
Turnover:
£50K - £100K
Net Profit:
Under £50K

This is a Bright & Beautiful franchise resale in Harlow and the surrounding area of West Essex. The business has been trading for three years with a team of four and annual turnover in excess of £50,000. It is a home-based business with a straightforward set-up: cleaning products and equipment are kept in a storage unit on the route to many of its clients, and the team lives close by.

Bright & Beautiful is an award-winning concept in domestic and commercial cleaning services, providing eco-friendly cleaning, laundry and ironing, with high standards of security and service. The brand was established in 2007 and began franchising in 2010, and now has more than 85 successful franchises across the UK, offering a premium service to domestic and commercial customers. It is part of Neighbourly, the world’s largest home services franchise group.

This franchise is built around repeat clients and a continually growing client base. As well as regular cleaning, the business provides one-off cleans, end of tenancy cleans, Airbnb changeovers, commercial cleaning, initial cleans, and laundry and ironing services. The work is delivered by a trusted team of professional housekeepers to clients across the region.
We are looking for a buyer who wants to take over an established business and has the management experience, strong people skills and drive to make the most of the growth opportunities in the local area.

Bright & Beautiful is a lifestyle choice for many of our clients, but it is also an essential support for busy lives. Cleaning is now a necessity rather than a luxury, and in a recent survey, 96% of clients told us “you make our home happier”. It is a business that takes the stress out of busy people’s lives and gives them back time and space. The cleaning sector is well established, with proven growth over several decades, and demand for both domestic and commercial cleaning continues to grow.

The brand stands out from the crowd. Our USPs, core values and creative marketing attract clients who go on to become advocates for the business. A Bright & Beautiful franchise gives you:

  • A modern, dynamic brand that stands out
  • A quality service that is in demand
  • Eco-friendly, reduced-plastic products, used in line with our expert procedures
  • Initial and ongoing training and support from a dedicated Franchise Development Manager, including launch support, training in our systems and procedures, and regular business performance calls

As a franchisee, you join a community of business owners, with national conferences and regional training where you can share ideas, network with colleagues and keep up to date with our systems and procedures. Bright & Beautiful are members of the BFA, and support for franchise owners includes structured business support calls, site visits, Head Office meetings and national and international conferences.

Our vision is to empower people: busy working people who need our services to manage their home, franchise owners who want to build a sustainable, long-term business, and team members who want to work in a positive environment with real career progression.

Bright & Beautiful has won many business awards since it began and regularly makes national and local press headlines thanks to our creative national marketing team.
By buying this resale, you take on an established team, existing clients and existing revenue to build on, backed by a national brand.
