and support, access to branded uniforms, products, sales and marketing tools, and stationery. All invoicing and cash collection is managed electronically by Dublcheck, allowing the franchisees to concentrate on developing lasting client relationships. Mujeeb confi rms: “Everything is handled by an internet accessed database, which deals with all aspects including invoicing, documentation, debt management, sale history and general communications. This makes managing the business that much easier and allows you to concentrate on dealing with staffi ng, customers and suppliers.” Carol asserts: “With our experience and
track record we can safely say that if you put in the effort and follow the system, the rewards with Dublcheck are there for everyone to see.” The benefi ts of Dublcheck are:
package of £24,000 per annum, which had quadrupled in 12 months. Stuart is now on £160,000 per annum. Stuart says: “The support from head offi ce appealed because it meant in the fi rst few months I could focus on getting to grips with running the business and managing my staff instead of fi nding contracts. The best thing
“The Dublcheck system puts its new franchisees on the road to success by actually getting the business for them”
about being your own boss is that you are the architect of your own destiny.” Franchisee Ken Holland says: “I decided franchising was the way to go when I was made redundant from my job in agriculture in 1998. I wanted to get involved in a repeat business industry that would provide a sensible income. Contract cleaning met my requirements and after investigating a number of cleaning franchises I recognised Dublcheck offered the best package. I am now at the point where my mortgages are almost paid off and my monthly income requirements are dropping so I can plan to do the things I have always wanted to do, such as going to Australia.”
Franchisees can start small, with the minimum turnover package of £14,400 per annum for those who want to run their business and start small while retaining the security of their current job. Or you can purchase up to £500,000 of annual turnover (with no upper limit) if you want to run a substantial managed business. The variable investment levels offered by Dublcheck allow franchisees the fl exibility to run either a hands-on business, a partly managed venture with some hands-on duties or a wholly managed business depending on their skills, ambitions and life balance requirements. Franchisee Len Donnelly, previously a
retail manager, says: “Since I became a franchisee, the work-life balance is great.” Franchisee Mujeeb Sayed invested in a guaranteed turnover package of £120,000, which Dublcheck achieved in year one. Mujeeb says: “As you learn the business, Dublcheck builds up the sales for you at your own pace.” He and his wife Maureen have adopted full managerial positions and employ a team of cleaning staff. They were so pleased with their investment they recommended the Dublcheck opportunity to Mujeeb’s nephew Michael McTavish and his wife Elaine.
In addition, Dublcheck franchisees are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to uphold the values of the Dublcheck brand, which has resulted in a 90 per cent client retention rate. For your initial investment you will
