Things to consider before looking at franchise earnings

- Initial Costs: Franchising fees, equipment purchase, and initial marketing can be substantial. 

- Revenue Building: Expect a gradual build-up in revenue as you acquire and retain clients.

- Break-Even Point: Many franchisees reach their break-even point within 6-18 months

Revenue vs Profitability

• Revenue: The first-year revenue may vary depending on factors like the region, services offered, and marketing.
• Profitability: Though revenue gives a good idea of the business scale, profitability is the bottom line. Expect varying costs that may affect first-year profits.

Location Matters

• Urban areas may offer a higher volume of customers but come with increased competition and overheads.
• In rural settings, the competition may be lower, but so may the customer base.

Realistic Numbers

• For a well-run domestic cleaning franchise, an average monthly turnover of £4,000 to £6,000 per month is not uncommon in the first year.

Conclusion

While first-year earnings may vary, with the right approach and understanding of factors that influence profitability, you can set a strong foundation for your franchise.
