Cleaning is one of the best repeat businesses
How Aussies are becoming cleaning moguls by owning their own cleaning businesses
Cleaning might not seem like a glamorous business, but if you’re after an opportunity to be part of a $12 billion market, owning your own cleaning business could be the best business and life decision you could ever make.
According to Haydar Hussein, nicked named the ‘Clillionaire’ – Australia’s cleaning millionaire, where there is muck, there is money. As a result, cleaning provides the perfect combination of opportunity, revenue and service that people need – and they are prepared to pay for it.
Hussein is the founder of the Jim’s Cleaning Group, one of the country’s most successful cleaning businesses. Founded over 20 years ago, Hussein started his entrepreneurial journey working in a bank as a bank teller. He took on extra work to clean the bank, and ultimately left and started up his own cleaning business because he was making much more money cleaning the bank than working in it. In order to grow and scale, he joined the Jim’s Group and set up a Jim’s cleaning franchise. His franchise business grew so fast, he ended up owning the entire Jim’s Cleaning division and it is now one of the biggest Jim’s Group divisions.
“Jim’s Cleaning Group has been trusted as a household name since 1994 and offers home and office cleaning, carpet cleaning, mobile car detailing, blind cleaning, window cleaning and pressure cleaning services Australia-wide,” Hussein said.
“I have focused on building a business that delivers quality service. With over three thousand online reviews averaging a solid 4.8 stars out of five and Jim’s 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, customers have full trust in our cleaning services.
“In fact, our satisfaction guarantee and positive reviews means that people will pay a little more for our services because they know they will get quality results.
“We currently boast over 1200 franchisees across the country, an ecosystem of business owners that have decided to create life changing opportunities out of cleaning, and we desperately need more franchisees to respond to the increasing number of people that want cleaning services.
“People are prepared to pay to have things cleaned, whether it be their office, home, or car. Cleaning is a job people hate doing, but it’s work we take great pride in delivering.”
According to Hussein, his Jim’s Cleaning business has changed many people’s lives.
“The reason for my success is that I spend a lot of time with my franchisees helping them to build and grow their businesses,” Hussein said.
“Starting a business is hard and trying to grow it as an independent business owner is even tougher. I have really tried to ensure that when someone joins our team as a franchisee that we provide them with as much training and support as possible.
“We provide them with a complete ‘turn-key’ business that allows them to say goodbye to their boss and build their own empire, on their terms.
“A lot of people are surprised how successful having a cleaning business is. Cleaning is one of the best repeat businesses to be in because homes and businesses keep on getting dirty. Why find new customers all the time when you can regularly help the customers you’ve got and continue making money in the process?
“In our business, despite the economic environment, there is still a nonstop flow of new customers needing their houses and offices cleaned.”
Hussein says, as a business owner, you’re the boss. You can dictate when and how much work you’d like to take on. You can choose to spend more time with family, while still making a good income; or work hard and bank a handsome profit. It’s entirely up to you!
“The good thing about starting a business with a well run franchise organisation like ours is that you are given all the tools and support to get underway,” Hussein said.
“Our domestic and commercial cleaning franchises provide you with all you need to get started including equipment, chemicals, training, business name registration, uniforms and stationery as well as ongoing one on one support to ensure your cleaning business is a success from the beginning.
“Over 5,000 franchise business owners are now enjoying the benefits of being part of the biggest cleaning services group in the world, including access to the best work, the best customers and the best national deals.
“All sorts of people join Jim’s Cleaning. Jim’s franchisees come from all walks of life. A background in the cleaning industry is not required, and complete practical training on the field work is provided.
“In Australia, there are more than 1.7 million people employed in the cleaning sector, and demand for cleaning services continues to soar. People are time poor and don’t have time or inclination to clean their houses and offices will always require cleaning services. If you’ve always wanted to own your own business, this opportunity is staring right at you. The Jim’s Group has been around since 1989 and is constantly getting bigger and better. Joining the group would mean becoming part of a special group of hard-working people with a drive to succeed.”
