With over 10 years of business success and a client base that stretches to thousands of satisfied repeat customers, Myhome is widely recognised as a proven leader within the marketplace and is one of the UK's leading residential cleaning businesses.

It's your future, shouldn't it be in your hands?

Going into business for yourself is a big step. Having a partner with experience and expertise can make all the difference. Myhome is the UK's leading premium residential cleaning franchise. Our franchise operation has been developed and perfected over 10 years and serves thousands of customers.

At the heart of the Myhome Franchise Programme is our pilot operation. Originally developed by Unilever, this has been used to create, test and develop all the operating systems necessary for a turnkey business. In addition, Myhome is a quoted Public Company and an accredited Member of the British Franchise Association. So with Myhome as your franchise partner, you can be confident of success.

Myhome franchise partners are not cleaners. They are talented individuals who manage and build a supremely efficient residential cleaning business. They want to run their own business, but do not want to be in business on their own. They see the value of working with a proven business format.

Fife resident Ken Wilson, a former Private Client Investment Director, recognised the importance of going into business with a partner that has already developed a proven business format and has been running Myhome's Fife office for eight months. Ken has now been awarded the Master Licence for Myhome in Scotland. His business has gone from strength to strength and he has exceeded both the targets set by Myhome as well as his own expectations. Ken has invested further in the strong Myhome brand and plans to establish a further 20 territories in Scotland in addition to those already operating in Fife, Stirling, West Lothian and two in Glasgow.

Myhome's success is built on our unique management systems. These break down the whole process of operating and growing a business into simple, manageable steps to give predictable and profitable results. With a Myhome franchise, you are combining your management skills with our experience and expertise to build your own successful business - a great partnership!

A rapidly growing market

Residential housecleaning has become one of the fastest growing industries in the UK. With 2.7 million households spending around £11 billion every year on domestic help, the UK market for Home Services is large and growing.

Demand has quadrupled over the past 20 years (Daily Express, 19 April 2004) and is predicted to double over the next three years alone. The growth has been driven by the dramatic increase in two-salary households. The lifestyle of these 'cash-rich, time-poor' households means they have little inclination for housework, and the changing role of mothers and home life has also contributed to the skyrocketing demand for our services.

Steve Cannan, who heads up Myhome's successful Henley-on-Thames office, was looking for a change of direction and a fresh and exciting business challenge when he visited a previous Franchise Exhibition. Commenting on his decision to enter into the residential cleaning market with Myhome, Steve tells us:

"After a great deal of research it became clear that residential cleaning is one of the UK's fastest growing market sectors and that within the marketplace, Myhome is widely recognised as a proven leader. After meeting with Russell O'Connell, CEO of Myhome, and the franchise support team, I was simply blown away and had no doubts about taking on a Myhome franchise."

Steve started trading in February 2006, and reveals: "I haven't been disappointed! Since then, my business has gone from strength to strength and I'm pleased to say I can definitely see the potential for future growth."

With 'on-target' business plans to achieve a client base of 250 regular customers, a fleet of 10 vans and a turnover of around £600,000 in three years, he has set new standards by exceeding both his expectations and the targets set by Myhome. Business is booming and Steve's Myhome business looks set for continued success!
