The support behind you

With over 50 years of experience, a team of 10,000+ people, and partnerships with some of the UK’s biggest brands, with NIC Local you’ll benefit from:

• 1-to-1 mentoring: every franchisee is supported by a dedicated Business Development Manager (typically working with just 5 franchisees each)

Your team provides essential cleaning and facilities management services to local businesses – schools, offices, retail units, healthcare providers and more – creating recurring income month after month.

• No territory limits: build your business as large as your ambition allows
• Recurring contracted income: 80% of revenue is regular, repeat business
