Starting a franchise can be a daunting process however despite some key challenges, Maid2Clean offers a great support system. Our selection criterion is not based on academic qualification but rather on an applicant’s attitude and their determination to succeed.
With this in mind, we interviewed some of our franchisees about the biggest challenges they faced when starting their Maid2Clean journey and how they overcame them…
“You need to be determined to create your sustainable business and consistent in repeating patterns that work to make your business a success. The advice I would give to people starting off their Maid2Clean business is no one else will run the business or care about it the way you do. Keep control of all aspects of your own business.” Sheena (Maid2Clean Franchisee, Lincolnshire & Brighton)
“To run this business, you need to be a people-person, so you can talk, listen and relate to people. You need to be able to put others at ease, so they trust you. You also need good organisation skills.” Lara (Maid2Clean Franchisee, Colchester)
“It can be stressful at times when you need more customers or cleaners. But you need to invest a bit in Google ads and flyers to grow your business and then you can reinvest what you make to grow your business further.” Sally (Maid2Clean Franchisee,Essex & Herts, Brighton & Enfield)
“I’d only just moved to Suffolk and I didn’t know anyone. When I took on the business at the end of 2009, I had no network at all. As you build up local knowledge everything becomes easier. At the beginning I felt like it was a bit of a gamble, but I was gambling on myself.” – Sue (Maid2Clean Franchisee,Essex & Herts, Brighton & Enfield)
“To begin with we were both working full-time and put the hours in to grow our Maid2Clean business. You don’t have the same feeling of security as a full-time job but we’re not worried. What you put in you get out. When you put effort into the business it grows.” Lyndon (Maid2Clean Franchisee, Derby & Chesterfield)
