Frequently asked questions

How much does the One Less Thing franchise cost?

We're looking for three people to start their own One Less Thing domestic cleaning business as pilot franchisees in 2024. Pilot franchisees get our full franchise package but without the usual up-front investment.

Instead of buying the franchise you instead pay £3,000+VAT towards the third-party advertising/marketing costs to launch your business. We then double your investment to arrive at a £6,000 marketing budget which is dedicated to launching your new business.

You can read full details about the investment and potential returns in the franchise prospectus and 10-part mini-course. Fill in the form here to request your copy.

How does the business work?

Our business model means that you never employ any cleaners or do any cleaning yourself. Instead you'll focus on growing your business by finding clients and arranging excellent self-employed cleaners to work for them, for an ongoing fee.

You can read full details about how the business works in the franchise prospectus and 10-part mini-course. Fill in the form here to request your copy.

What makes One Less Thing different from other franchises?

The business model that we use is well established and proven in the UK over 20-30 years. We combine this model with a World-class brand, marketing and our (completely bespoke) management software system to create a complete franchise package to maximises your earning potential.

And we're not finished yet! We constantly add and improve our software and systems to improve and strengthen the business to the benefit of our franchisees.

Can I discuss the franchise opportunity with you?

Absolutely. In the franchise prospectus you'll find a link to arrange a free and no-obligation discovery Zoom call with Daniel Atherton (the founder of One Less Thing). On this no-obligaton call you can ask any questions you have and we'll discuss the opportunity to help you understand if it's right for you.

If I submit my details will you call me constantly?!

No.

When you enter your details you'll receive the franchise prospectus and mini-course (which goes into even more detail about how the business works) via email.

If you'd like to discuss the opportunity further then you can arrange a discovery Zoom call at a time to suit you. But we will not call you if you do not arrange a discovery call with us. We only want to speak to people that want to progress their interest and we understand if this is not the right opportunity for you.

Why do I need to join a franchise? Can't I just start this business myself?

You can, however our objective is to put together a franchise that is so good that people will feel stupid saying no!

Also, running a business can be hard, but being part of a wider franchise network can mean greater support and continued development for you and your business over time.

When considering the training, support, brand and marketing setup, software system and franchise community we think that it's at least worth learning if it's right for you.

Do I need experience? What training is provided?

The franchise includes full training including in person training at our Lancashire offices and remote support via Zoom to support you through your business launch (and beyond).

You can read full details in the franchise prospectus and 10-part mini-course. Fill in the form here to request your copy.

I already run a cleaning business - can I join?

Possibly. We regularly get questions and enquiries from people that already run their own cleaning business and see the advantage of our business model and franchise package.

If this sounds like you then request the franchise prospectus and arrange a discovery call and we'll be delighted to discuss this further with you.

What is a pilot franchisee?

Pilot franchisees are people that join a franchise in its initial stages to demonstrate that the success that the franchisor has achieved at their HQ-branch can be replicated by others too.

We have made four pilot franchise places available and one (now two) have already been secured.

Pilot franchisees get the full package and benefits that later franchisees will get, but on much more favourable terms. As a One Less Thing pilot franchisee you'll get the franchise with no upfront costs. Instead you'll contribute £3,000+VAT to fund half of your initial marketing/advertising campaign which we then match to arrive at the £6,000 budget to launch your new business.

I have a question that's not covered here

No problem. Our franchise prospectus includes a link to arrange a free and no-obligation discovery Zoom call with the founder of One Less Thing - Daniel Atherton). On this call you can ask any questions you may have and discuss the opportunity to help you understand if it's right for you.
