Established for nearly twenty years this is a diverse cleaning business offering probably the widest range of cleaning services available in the UK today. Built upon a very solid foundation of carpet and upholstery cleaning – working in both the domestic and commercial fields, this business also offers a stain removal service, hospital and nursing home clinical cleans, Kitchen deep cleans, Hydro Pool cleans and even cleaning and preservation of hard floors including marble and wood. This business also gets involved in much more specialist and highly skilled areas such as trauma cleans, fire and flood cleans as well as grafitti removal. And if that weren’t enough, this business also has a rapidly growing wholesale and retail chemicals business, has a number of UK agencies for the distribution of cleaning equipment – both retail and hire as well as being one of the leading, if not the leading, cleaning training organization in the UK. The cornerstone to the success of this business is its sheer depth and breadth of knowledge of cleaning materials and techniques, which is unrivalled within the industry – and which has been instilled in every employee working for the business, all of whom can demonstrate years of experience in cleaning. Determined to do a very professional job at the very best commercial rate available, this business will frequently use several different types of cleaning techniques on any one job, utilizing the most up to date carpet and upholstery cleaning equipment available and matching the most widely recommended cleaning processes with the specific needs of any particular situation. Not surprisingly with such a wide array of services and such a very high level of customer service, this business can demonstrate a very prestigious blue chip Client list including some of the largest hotel groups in the world, the offices of major Corporations, major UK airports, local schools, colleges and universities right through to nursing homes and the premises of a number of NHS trusts as well as working on behalf of Loss Adjusters, Managing Agents and Insurance companies. Primarily working throughout the south of England this business is very capable of responding to demand from anywhere in the UK – as shown by the huge level of business activity undertaken by this company during the major floods in Yorkshire and the West Country during the summer of 2007. This is a ‘one stop cleaning shop’ for the organizations across the domestic, commercial and public sectors. With turnover of approximately £375,000 per annum, generating gross margins of almost 40% and pre-tax net profits in the region of £125,000 this represents an excellent opportunity for an existing operator to increase their presence within the industry or alternatively a new entrant to acquire an excellent high quality, high profile foothold in the sector with excellent growth and expansion prospects. Key strengths: This is a very well established business with solid foundations having built an excellent reputation throughout the industry for its knowledge and expertise, its professionalism, reliability and integrity and perhaps most importantly its effectiveness. It is simply very good at what it does providing an unrivalled level of service with a capability to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. It always has a wide range of equipment available including air movers, de-humidifiers etc and a very good, highly experienced team in place, capable of dealing with all situations it is likely to be called upon to handle. Understanding the delicacies of a Client’s situation – particularly in relation to trauma cleans or fire and flood work, this business goes about its work sympathetically but efficiently. It has a very good, loyal and regular customer base. Providing a very high level of service, generating high levels of customer satisfaction this business very rarely loses a customer once they’re on board - and more often than not converts an initial, small job into a long term customer relationship. The business has excellent foundations with a number of very well developed revenue streams arising from its core business of large scale commercial carpet and upholstery cleaning through to the distribution of chemicals, the sale and hire of equipment and training – it is one of the few training organizations based in the south of England as well as the more specialist areas of trauma cleaning and fire and flood cleaning, for example. It has had regular scheduled maintenance programmes in place for many years with many customers in relation to its carpet and upholstery work. Key opportunities: There is an excellent opportunity to build on the name and reputation this business has established and to develop the existing business levels and customer base of this company. With a strong demand for this business's services, a new owner contributing fresh ideas, enthusiasm, motivation and investment will have every advantage of building on an excellent platform. There is scope to develop all areas of the company, not least the core business – by investing in marketing and advertising to drive forward carpet and upholstery cleaning turnover as well as increasing this business’s presence in the seemingly recession proof market of the cleaning and polishing of hardfloors. Similarly this business is constantly invited to tender for contracts with the local NHS trusts for example and there are additional opportunities to increase the sale of chemicals through the building of an agency network throughout the UK. Aside from these very lucrative opportunities the current management of the business is constantly looking for cleaning related plant and machinery, products and accessories that could be added to their portfolio and are currently assessing the feasibility of developing personal training modules in the areas of trauma and fire and flood cleaning with the added incentive of being able to provide work for those completing the necessary training modules. Quality Assurance: The business is a member of the National Carpet Cleaning Association (NCCA), British Professional Carpet Cleaners (BPCC), is a Woolsafe Approved Certified operator and is an approved, certified operator of the Dry Fusion system.
