If you're thinking about starting your own business, one of the first questions you'll probably ask is: how much can you actually earn?
The good news is that a cleaning franchise can offer some serious earning potential, particularly if you choose a business model that doesn't involve doing the cleaning yourself.
At Time For You, our franchisees earn an average of £65,000 per year working part-time, with our top earners making over £425,000 annually.
Of course, everyone's business is different. Your earnings will depend on factors such as the number of clients you build, your local market, how you approach marketing and the time you're willing to put into growing your business.
The great thing about the Time For You model is that you're not limited to how many hours you can physically spend cleaning.
Unlike a traditional cleaning business, you won't be spending your days with a mop and bucket. In fact, no cleaning is done by you, ever!
Instead, you'll build a network of local clients and match them with suitable, self-employed cleaners. Your role is to manage those relationships, find new clients and grow your business.
Clients pay their cleaners directly, while you earn management fees for arranging and managing the service. As your client base grows, so does your potential recurring income.

The good news is that you won't need to employ a team of cleaners, buy cleaning equipment or rent business premises to get started with the Time For You model.

Running your own business takes work, and there's no magic button that guarantees a six-figure income. But if you're looking for a way to build your own income, enjoy more flexibility and be your own boss, a management-based cleaning franchise could be worth exploring.
