This pair of businesses are major contract cleaning operators across the Glasgow region and the surrounding West of Scotland area. The current owner has built the business over more than 25 years to become one of the top performing Franchised businesses in their network.
The business has been run as two territories in the past. It was brought under one Limited Company due to the ill health of a Franchise Partner who ran the second territory. It has since performed strongly.
Due to its current size, it is now being sold in two parts; Glasgow North and Glasgow South. Each has turnover approaching £800,000 and similar profitability, taken from some or all of G, ML, PA, KA and FK postcodes.
The operation has a track record of acquiring new business year on year, increasing the number of contracts on a consistent basis. Clients are sourced from a wide range of B2B sectors, providing resilience during difficult trading times. During both the 2008 recession and the Covid pandemic, the business has continued to see new clients being brought on board with increased profitability overall.
West of Scotland is a large area to work within and both territories are well located for efficient transport links. There is activity in most of the large towns and cities within the territories. However, there is significant room for continued growth using marketing avenues that have not been explored.
The full time office staff team are well established and knowledgeable. The current owner places a lot of trust in them, making the transfer of ownership straightforward. The wider team comprises over 100 staff, most in part time positions.
Franchise Partners receive comprehensive support across the key business areas of marketing, operations, training, finance and IT as well as complex and changing areas including Health and Safety and employment law. The Franchisor is a supportive partner and has been instrumental in achieving prestigious awards for businesses within the franchise network. Using the support offered, many business owners within the franchise have achieved substantial turnover and excellent profits.
Resale Solutions LLP is working with the vendor and the Franchisor as the first point of contact. Our experience has been that the Franchisor is transparent and helpful to those exploring the opportunity to join their network. We have seen many purchases turn into successful business ownerships with individuals, families or friends running territories.
