AWARDS MEAN REWARDS FOR FRANCHISEES

Cleantastic franchisees can double their investment in 24 months with a guaranteed income

Winning a major national Award is an endorsement for any franchise – but what does it actually mean if you are looking for a full-time or part-time business opportunity?

‘For us, winning the 2022 Business to Business Franchise System of the Year title reflected all the work that we have done to establish a culture that could ensure our franchisees are successful,’ says Greg Paget, franchisor for Cleantastic, the commercial cleaning franchise. ‘The clouds of Covid had a silver lining as we turned our business on its head to help our franchisees cope with the increased demand for their services, and that has served everyone well.

‘We offer an affordable entry fee; a 24-month income guarantee; clients to get you started; flexible hours; the ability to start small and grow, so you can stay in employment until you are ready to go full-time in your own business; or the chance to go full-time right from day one.’

Delighted by your success

Greg has been with Cleantastic for 18 years, buying the franchisor business in 2018. ‘We have a clear vision and a tremendous support team who recognise that without committed and successful franchisees, we simply wouldn’t have a business.

‘That’s why all prospective franchisees are only interviewed by me or one other colleague. When you contact us, we’ll not just look at your suitability, but your desire to succeed in business. With Cleantastic, you can grow as big as you want, keep it in the family or employ teams to do the work. We teach you everything we can about running a business and put a lot of work into helping you achieve your goals. And if, after some time you decide to move on, you’ll take the business skills you’ve learned at Cleantastic with you.

‘If we have helped you add value to your lives, helped your family enjoy better opportunities and a better lifestyle, we’ll be delighted by your success.’

Cleantastic’s different philosophy has clearly been a winner and makes it stand out from the pack. ‘We have great faith in our system and our franchisees, which is why we don’t tie our clients into contracts,’ Greg explains.

Excellent relationships

‘That gives us a big competitive advantage over many cleaning companies, who often tie clients down with annual contracts and complex clauses attached to roll-on periods. We take a different approach – we expect our clients to be delighted with what we do and if we aren’t delighting them, or if their circumstances change, they only need to give us a month’s notice. That’s fair, that’s honest and as a result, we’ve built excellent relationships all round.’

This was proved during all the disruption around Covid. ‘We concentrated on communicating with our franchisees and their clients, letting them know how we could help, what we were doing to keep everyone safe, and as a result our client base remained strong. Sadly, a few of our clients went out of business, but we picked up new business too as people became more aware of the importance of quality cleaning and hygiene. The message we got loud and clear was, “Cleantastic is doing a great job, we love having you and we’ll be happy to work with you in the future.” We provide the systems and our franchisees use them to deliver top quality service.’

We handle the hassles

As Greg points out, running a successful business these days is about more than the service itself. ‘Clients look for quality in every aspect from systems to training to health and safety, as well as peace of mind about environmental and insurance issues. All these things are important, but for a small operator they can mean big headaches and a lot of time spent on activities which don’t actually generate revenue.

‘Having a good franchise system behind you makes all the difference and allows you to concentrate on the work. Cleantastic has also proactively worked with MBIE and the Labour Inspectorate to develop good systems which help franchisees employ staff with confidence that they are doing the right thing.’

Low investment, finance available

Cleantastic already has close to 300 franchisees throughout New Zealand but there is room for many more, says Greg. ‘Really, there is nowhere in the country which does not have the demand for our unique approach, so there are opportunities everywhere.

‘You don’t need cleaning experience, just a great attitude and the desire to get on in life and build something for yourself. We have a very flexible purchase package starting from as low as $19,600 +gst including equipment, and with finance available (with some conditions).

‘Best of all, a new franchise comes with a guarantee of income for 24 months. That allows a franchisee to more than double their investment in their first two years, and reflects our confidence and experience in this business.

‘We take pride in developing motivated individuals into successful business owners. If that sounds like you, contact me and find out more about the award-winning Cleantastic difference.’
