I'm looking to help three people start a domestic cleaning business in their local area in 2024

We're looking for three people to start their own One Less Thing domestic cleaning business as pilot franchisees in 2024.

As a pilot franchisees you'll get our full franchise package including a large exclusive territory, full training and ongoing support at no up-front cost from us.

You'll just pay £8,000 towards the third-party advertising/marketing costs for your new One Less Thing business. This is held on account and spent on the marketing of your One Less Thing branch over its first 6-12 months to drive the sales and generate your recurring revenue.

This ensures that your One Less Thing branch has the necessary marketing to launch and thrive, and your new business is set up for success.

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.

Our business model means that you never employ any cleaners or do any cleaning yourself.

As a One Less Thing franchise owner, you'll focus on finding clients, growing your business and delivering a fantastic service. You'll arrange excellent self-employed cleaners to work for your clients for an ongoing fee, and provide insurance and ongoing management to make sure everything runs smoothly.

With One Less Thing, we have taken a proven cleaning agency approach that has worked throughout the UK for decades, then improved and modernised it with world-class brand, marketing and systems.

We have been operating this business ourselves for over 12 months and have already gather 146 clients. The graph below is an extract from our unique management software that shows how our clients have grown over the last few months.

We're currently a quarter of the way into our second year and now arrange regular cleaning services worth over £220,000 per year for our clients (and it's growing every week).

What's more, we regularly get great feedback from the cleaners that clean for us, and five-star reviews from our domestic cleaning clients (click here to see our cleaning client reviews).

Like anything worthwhile, the business requires intelligence and determination, but if you're willing to work hard, follow our proven system and provide a great customer service to your clients then the results are there to be had.

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).

You can, however our objective is to put together a franchise that is so attractive 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.

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.

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.
