Poppies Franchise - the facts

When Poppies was launched in 1980 it was the UK’s first Domestic Cleaning Business to be offered as a franchise, grew quickly to become the brand leader and has now matured into an established and well recognised brand and network of successful businesses that offers you an exciting future in this growing marketplace.

1. What does this mean in practice?

Poppies is a business format franchise. This means that as a franchisee you will be a manager.

We train and support you every step the way in setting up and running your own successful cleaning business. We share with you our tried and proven methods of finding customers and tailoring our service to suit their needs, how to recruit and train staff to meet those clients needs.

We show you how to manage this work to provide the very best customer service at a profit.

2. Lets talk about money for a minute

Today the only people who know they are financially secure are those that are in complete control of their destiny - for example business owners who have money flowing into their business accounts every month. Poppies has dozens of franchisees who are in this position. Most Poppies customers have a regular service and pay by Bank Standing Order so your income stream is very dependable.

By adding just one or two customers per month you know that next month you will make more money.

3. So what is the Poppies mission ?

We help clients with their cleaning needs, but what this means to them is that they have more time to spend with their children or in fulfilling jobs. We enable older clients to stay in their own homes and we help businesses provide a better environment for their staff to work in. Just a few of the reasons we say “Poppies is here to help”

We create jobs too - jobs that are flexible and enable our staff to work around their own commitments in life. Poppies jobs are regular, satisfying and well paid. Of course everyone has their own story to tell and meeting new people can be one of the true joys of running a Poppies business.

Don’t forget we guide you step by step though every process and that as a Poppies franchisee you are never on your own.

Our manuals contain all the information you need to run your own successful business our comprehensive start-up package contains just about everything you need to get your business up and running too.

5. Am I right for Poppies ?

Poppies represents a fantastic opportunity with a proven track record but Poppies is not for everybody and we are very fussy about who we let into our successful network.

We choose our franchisees carefully. Whilst our franchisees come from all walks of life and work experience to be successful you must be ambitious and not afraid of hard work. You will have to put a lot of effort in at the start to build your business and take responsibility for your own results.

We can provide the framework and all the help you need but the level of success you achieve will be down to you and rightfully yours. You will tend to be sociable and like meeting new people.
