a highly supportive network. “You’re never on your own as a Minster Cleaning franchisee”, confirms Mike. “We work hard to cultivate a team spirit with regular meetings and events where franchisees can share knowledge and build friendships. Everybody is eager to help each other do well because we’re all invested in Minster Cleaning’s success. So there is always someone to call on if you need support.” Looking ahead, the plan is to build on that success,


providing opportunities for new franchisees to share in it. The strength of the brand and the robust nature of the commercial cleaning sector put Minster Cleaning in a healthy position to do just that. If you’re interested in joining Minster Cleaning’s supportive network and developing a low-risk business, new and existing franchise opportunities can be found on minsterfranchise.co.uk. For new territories, the initial start-up cost is £20,000 plus vat, which covers licence fee, territory, IT equipment and training, plus a comprehensive marketing launch package.

The group’s turnover doubled from £10million in 1998 to £20million in 2002, hitting £40million in 2018 before reaching £45million, despite the disruption of the pandemic. Today, top franchisees are earning more than £200,000 in net profit each year. The common thread in this history of success is


service quality, confirms Managing Director Mike Parker. “How we and our franchisees work has continually evolved to keep up with innovations in areas such as health and safety, marketing and operations. What hasn’t changed is our rigorous focus on excellent service. It’s our bread and butter, and the reason our franchisees continue to thrive.” Minster Cleaning franchisees also benefit from


Starting a new business venture can seem an uncertain prospect As an incentive to prospective new franchisees investing in a greenfield territory, Minster Cleaning guarantees that you can achieve a gross profit of £45,000 in your first year of trading, provided that you deliver the marketing plan for the first 12 months. This guarantee only covers the first 12 months of trading and not subsequent years of performance. Because Minster Cleaning is so confident in

the performance of several previous greenfield sites in year 1. Gross profit is calculated as follows:
