How Time For You Is Working Towards 5 Million Hours of Cleaning a Year

Time For You is entering one of the most ambitious and exciting phases in its twenty year history. The franchising world often talks about big ideas, but long term success comes from stability, purpose and a model that works. That is exactly what we have built and it is the foundation behind our newest national initiative.

We call it the 5 Million Hours Challenge.

This challenge gives our entire network a goal that is simple to understand and powerful in its impact.

What Is the 5 Million Hours Challenge

As a network we currently deliver around 3.5 million hours of domestic cleaning a year across the United Kingdom. The target is to reach 5 million hours a year. It is bold, measurable and achievable when the whole network works together.

Reaching this milestone matters for several reasons.

Why 5 Million Hours Matters to Franchise Buyers

People researching franchise opportunities or looking to buy a franchise want proof, not theory. The challenge shows:

• Real scale. Domestic cleaning demand is strong and consistent.
• Real opportunity. The model is built on recurring weekly and fortnightly revenue.
• Real momentum. Franchise owners are contributing to a shared national goal.
• Real purpose. Five million hours is five million hours of life given back to families across the UK.

Domestic cleaning remains one of the most stable sectors in the UK service economy. People value time more than ever which means the need for trustworthy cleaning services continues to grow. This creates the perfect environment for a management style franchise with low overheads and clear systems.

Why This Challenge Strengthens the Franchise Model

Anyone looking for a franchise for sale wants a business that is simple to run, in consistent demand and backed by real support. The 5 Million Hours Challenge highlights the strengths of the Time For You model.

A Model Built on Recurring Revenue

Clients book weekly or fortnightly. Hours roll forward every week. That stability means franchise owners can scale without constant chasing.

A Story That Strengthens Marketing

Being part of a network delivering millions of hours of cleaning a year is a compelling message. It positions each franchise as part of something trusted and established.

A Purpose Driven Community

A shared goal creates unity. Collaboration increases. Franchisees support each other. This is exactly what new franchise owners want to step into.

A Support System That Evolves With the Network

Ambitious goals force operational improvements. Better systems. Better training. Better tools. Better resources. The challenge lifts the whole business.

Introducing the TFY Games

To support the 5 Million Hours Challenge, we launched the TFY Games. This is a network wide initiative running from the first of December to the twenty eighth of February. It adds friendly competition that encourages the habits behind strong franchise growth.

Every office starts at zero. Every office, big or small, has a real chance.

How the TFY Games Work

The TFY Games track progress across three categories.

Most Impressive Growth

This category uses TFY Hub data to track:

• Hours delivered
• Client growth

It rewards progress, not size. A new franchise can climb the scoreboard just as quickly as a larger established office.

Online Booking Superstar

This category tracks:

• The volume of online bookings
• The value of those bookings

It pushes franchise owners to improve online visibility and conversion. These are valuable skills for anyone entering franchising.

Best Network Contributor

This category recognises:

• Posts
• Comments
• Engagement
• Streaks

A strong network relies on people sharing, helping and staying connected. This category lifts community culture and encourages collaboration.

Why the TFY Games Matter to Prospective Franchise Owners

People exploring how to buy a franchise or looking for the best franchise opportunities in the UK want to know what the environment is like behind the scenes. The TFY Games demonstrate:

• A culture of friendly accountability
• Real time performance tracking
• A network that actively supports growth
• Encouragement, not pressure
• A structure that makes success easier to achieve

Growth becomes predictable when a franchise system rewards the behaviours that drive results.

A Franchise Opportunity Built on Stability and Purpose

Time For You offers a management style franchise with no staff to employ directly, no equipment to buy and no premises required. It is simple to run, easy to scale and supported by a strong community of franchise owners.

The 5 Million Hours Challenge shows the direction we are moving in. The TFY Games show the culture that supports that direction. Together they create a franchise opportunity with long term stability and a clear mission behind it.

If you are exploring franchise opportunities in the UK, researching low cost franchises with high demand or looking for a proven model with recurring revenue, Time For You offers a path that is practical, scalable and backed by a network working towards a meaningful goal.

The market is strong. The demand for domestic cleaning continues to grow. Our network is energised, unified and focused on reaching 5 million hours a year. For those wanting to be part of something with real momentum, this is the right moment to take a closer look at Time For You.
