An exciting opportunity to take over a reputable domestic and commercial cleaning business has now arisen in Devon, with clients around the area of TQ14.
Including all the cleaning equipment and products and also two Citroen Bellingo vans, the business currently employees 3 full-time staff and 3part-time member of staff.
Since 2013, the company has been delivering immaculate results through a vast selection of cleaning services, garnering numerous 5 star reviews online and an exceptional word of mouth reputation.
A new owner, potentially one with experience in the private cleaning sector, would not only acquire a team of hard-working and flexible staff, but also great customer relations and stable financial figures to ensure the business’s longevity
Providing one-off, monthly, fortnightly and weekly cleans to private homeowners, local businesses and holiday lets, the business has gained a recognised name for itself throughout Devon.
With 20% of its turnover accountable to commercial clients and 80% to domestic, the business generates consistently strong financials thanks to the high demand for quality cleaning services from a loyal client base. Around 40% of its customers pay on the spot after every clean via cash or cheque, with the rest invoiced at the end of every month. The business also benefits from a lucrative contract at a local doctor’s surgery, worth £16,800, and ongoing agreements with the local parish church and community centre. Whilst the business partakes in a small amount of marketing via Facebook and the local parish magazine, its workload has mainly been acquired via word of mouth recommendation. Very complimentary reviews are also showcased on Facebook and Yell.
This well-established cleaning business with high customer retention rates and a fantastic local reputation would be ideal for a larger cleaning firm or hands-off owner looking for an easy to manage business.
As the business is currently operating at full capacity, it has had to recently turn down work due to the lack of available staff. Taking on more staff would facilitate a higher workload and help to boost takings. Further marketing through additional social media and encouraging client testimonials would also do much to grow its exposure and attract new interest.
The existing owner would be willing to stay on for a transitional period as required to assist the new owner initially.
