The opportunity

Most people who invest in a new driveway or patio area, have done so because they want to improve the appearance of their home. The problems is, that after short period of time, that once new looking surface soon discolours and begins to detract form the look of the property. Those who try to maintain the area are frequently disappointed with the results, after spending hours without the correct equipment for the job and caked in the mess it creates, they often give up and lose the inclination to carry on. If we are honest, there are not many homeowners, if given the opportuntiy, that would not let somebody else do it.

The simplicity of this business is that with the correct training, education and tools for the task in hand, this type of work becomes alot quicker, easier and for the right people, profitable.

Why do People invest in the Paving Shield service?

In our fast paced modern lives, when everything should be done "yesterday", many people have worked hard to increase their disposable income, but do not find the time to maintain their homes!

A driveway or patio is an expensive investment and should be treated as such, especially when you have outlaid thousands on an item and then to let it degrade is a complete waste of money. The advent of decorative surfaces such as Pattern Imprinted Concrete, has meant that these particular areas require servicing frequently or they will wear away beyond repair. Our customers recognise the reality of our preventative maintenance schemes and the importance of employing the correct company to carry out specific services on their paving.

Many use our service because it can cost less than them doing it themselves.

Others adopt our service because Paving Shield have years of experience on working with paved areas, not only on the maintenance but also through installations. We understand the structural make up of modern driveways and patios. Whatever the reasons for adopting our services, our customers know their driveway or patios are in safe hands.

Here are some of the top reasons why a cleaning business opportunity should be at the top of your list:

The UK cleaning industry is said to be worth approximately £10 billion, according to the Cleaning Industry National Training Organisation. That means there’s plenty of market potential to tap into with a cleaning business.

With economic downturns being an inevitable part of life, it’s reassuring to know that the cleaning industry is overall immune to these economic fluctuations. Since cleaning services are thought to be a necessity, there is high demand for these services, and just because the economy isn’t doing well doesn’t mean people want dirty homes and businesses!

There are a variety of niche markets in the cleaning industry, with the main ones being domestic cleaning and commercial cleaning. Within these two categories, you can concentrate on residential maid services, janitorial services for commercial facilities (including commercial kitchen hygiene services), carpet cleaning, window washing, ceiling tile cleaning, and driveway brightening, etc. There are a plethora of options to choose from! Even if you don’t decide to concentrate on a niche, you can always serve multiple markets with a more comprehensive cleaning franchise.

You can usually tailor your cleaning franchise to complement your skill set. That means you can choose to stay on the management side of things and hire out cleaners. Or if you enjoy cleaning, you can choose to do the work yourself.

A cleaning service franchise will help you build a profitable business quickly. You will be generating revenue in no time, especially since a franchise helps you with the set-up of your business and provides you with support throughout the time you are a franchisee. A cleaning business frequently has low overheads, since you can operate from home and don’t need to purchase lots of stock. This means you can turn a profit faster and have no cash flow problems.

You can have a flexible lifestyle with a great work/life balance when you invest in a cleaning services franchise. Since you can operate your business from home or from a storefront, either part time or full time, it all depends on what kind of time commitment you can make and how much money you want to earn.
