The Merry Maids Cleaning franchise is the world's largest home cleaning franchise. We combine a local touch with professional corporate backing, meaning clients can expect to receive only the highest quality service from start to finish. Each one of our franchises is run independently and they stretch from North America, across Europe, all the way to Japan, Malaysia and the Philippines!

The sale of this particular four-part multi-territory is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer(s). You will own one of the geographically largest franchise's regions based across West and North Yorkshire.

The demographics of this territory provide some great - and highly profitable - demographics:
Population: 1.15m
Households: 509,602
Owned / Mortgaged Households: 172,333
AB Social Grade: 76,691

We provide you with extensive training from ServiceMaster UK as part of the franchise fee, so you will have the confidence to hit the ground running from day one.

The sale is ideal for anyone with an interest in this in-demand, lucrative cleaning sector. As part of the franchise, you'll be part of a brand that has been running since 1979 and is respected across the UK. You'll have our ongoing support whenever you might find yourself in need of advice or help - your success is our success, so you can be sure we are as invested in your franchised cleaning business as you. Support covers all areas, including:
- Operational matters
- Marketing
- Sales
- IT
- Health & Safety
- ...and more!

This is also a great opportunity for those operating a domiciliary care business, with savvy investors looking to benefit from synergies and complimentary services offerings. Alternatively, we see many investors simply looking for a franchise in which they can apply previous skills and experience, including:
- Staff management
- Sales
- Marketing
- General commercial acumen

With a carefully considered and consistent marketing plan, it is more than possible for the smaller two regions in this sale to improve their numbers, bringing in a total annual income of more than £1million when combined with the other two larger regions of York and Wakefield.

The business employs a total of 21 staff, including a full-time Office Manager adept at the daily operational activities. In addition, the Manager oversees Team Leaders for each of the four region to ensure a successful delivery of service.

Each area comes with its own managed website, receiving an average of 868 page views per month!

Property Information

Property:

Leasehold

Location:

The business operations are carried out from two commercial offices, one based in York city centre and the other in Wakefield. Both are leased on a rolling monthly basis. Subject to negotiation the leases could be transferred to the new owner should they wish. Alternatively, further cost-saving could be achieved via just one centrally located office being sought.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

More focus has been given to the York and Wakefield territories, which bring in around 80% of the revenue. If all territories brought in the same revenue as the Wakefield territory, turnover would be in excess of £1m. There is no reason why this isn't achievable with a considered and consistent marketing plan being implemented along with support from the franchisor.

Reasons for selling:

Due to family commitments, the current owners are looking to relocate to the North West of England.

Trading hours:

Monday to Friday, 8:30am-5pm
