After working within an existing ServiceMaster Clean business, Phil wanted a taste of that success. As a result, he joined ServiceMaster Clean as a franchisee almost 20 years ago and has built a successful business for himself, just not by himself.

Scott & Jess Burrows and Michelle & Gavin Walker

The Commercial Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Market

Commercial buildings account for approximately 13% of the total buildings in the UK. Every commercial building will have hard floors or carpets that will need to be maintained.

Many will have items of furniture that are upholstered and will need some TLC too.

As such, the market is huge – and growing. It is essential for businesses to keep up appearances, particularly in employee and customer welcoming environments.

Targeting hospitality, education and healthcare will be your main priority markets as they have high cleanliness regimes to uphold. If a property ‘looks’ clean, it’s generally perceived clean.

But importantly, with a ServiceMaster clean, it truly is clean.

Building strong relationships with commercial customers will ensure that transactional business turns in to repeat business. Repeat business will be in the form of professional maintenance programmes exacting to the customers’ requirements.

ServiceMaster Clean Commercial currently cover over 45% of the UK but are looking for the aspiring business owners to build their businesses in our remaining territories. Speak to us today about our available areas.

What You Need

To be a successful ServiceMaster Clean Commercial business owner, you will need discipline to follow a proven business model and the drive and ambition to prosper in a competitive market.

Communication and organisation skills are essential in building a loyal commercial customer base. Our most successful franchisees possess these skills in abundance.

As experience is not necessary, you will need to be open to learning about your new vocation to build up your sector, brand and business knowledge.

The ServiceMaster Clean Commercial franchise is a full-time commitment, as such, you’ll need to dedicate much of your time to the business in the early days to build a solid structure to foster a strong culture for growth.

With up to 100% finance available to many (subject to status), financing your new venture could not be more affordable. You do need to be financially secure whilst your business finds its feet in the early days, meaning that you can reap the financial benefits in the future.

ServiceMaster Bournemouth
Case Study

What made you go in to owning your own business?

To embrace the challenge of growing a great local business that needed a modern approach and we had the confidence to make it happen.

Why did you choose ServiceMaster Clean?

The opportunity arose for us to buy the business.

This made good business sense for us, as the Operations Director Scott had 14 years previous experience from ground level to management. Scott approached the Financial Director, Michelle, and the rest is history.

How has owning your own business impacted your life positively?

Along with hard work and stress, the joy has come from knowing we are providing a great local service that we have become very proud of.

What have been your greatest achievements whilst owning the business?

Re-structuring it to take a more modern approach.

This has been in all areas including, updating IT, adding to the fleet, new equipment for carpet technicians.

We now have a efficient Marketing Department that has developed our digital footprint to include Social Media, webpages, Checkatrade etc.

What are your future growth plans for the business?

We are looking forward to growing all 3 areas of our business- Residential, Commercial and Restore.
