Why is an NIC Services Group franchise a good investment?
With this business, there’s the potential for rapid growth and huge market potential. NIC Services Group also guarantees franchisees a minimum year one gross profit, subject to investment level.
In addition, a number of market conditions make an investment in an NIC Services Group franchise a sound one:
• The commercial cleaning sector, which has an annual spend of over £8.8bn and growing every year, is virtually recession-proof as commercial buildings need cleaning on a regular basis - many every day.
• There are plenty of potential customers to target, both in the private and public sectors.
• As an NIC Services Group franchise can be operated from home, overheads are low and profits can be significant since an office space isn’t necessary. NIC Services Group has franchisees who have turned over in excess of £250,000 in their first year.
• Once a contract has been secured and fantastic services are delivered, the chances of repeat business are high. There are also opportunities to provide customers with additional services.
What are the NIC Services Group franchise’s terms of agreement and renewal?
The initial franchise agreement lasts for five years, after which franchisees can renew to trade using the NIC Services Group brand and systems subject to agreement from both parties.
How in demand are the services provided by NIC Services Group?
Commercial cleaning is a necessity, which means that commercial cleaning franchises providing such a service are always in demand, particularly businesses such as NIC Services Group which has a successful track record in the industry.
In addition, the recent and continuing trend towards contracting out the cleaning of offices and other company premises means the commercial cleaning industry - worth around £8.8bn to the UK economy annually - looks set to grow.
