"I had no business experience prior to NIC. The guidance and support is there at every step and over the past seven years has helped me build our business to over £1m "

Run your own contract cleaning business:

Initially you can work from your home office, focusing on growing your contracts, with the constant support of your BDM’s 1-2-1 guidance for every element of your business. This will enable you to learn and grow in confidence as you work together. 

Once your NIC Business is established your role elevates to leading your management team, who will oversee your operators. This will free you to focus on maintaining and building client relationships.

Leverage your prior career, contacts and sector experience to your benefit. With NIC alongside you, take on higher-margin locally based contracts: schools, colleges, offices, doctors and dental surgeries, retail outlets, university accommodation, car dealerships, pubs and restaurants…

It’s a massive market with no limits to growth and 80% of their customers are contracted for daily cleans.

No experience needed: 1-2-1 business mentoring

Before your business launches, you will undertake a one-week training course at NIC's support office in Leeds. This enables you to really get to know the people at NIC – it’s like joining one big family.

NIC Business Opportunity "We believe we provide franchisees the highest level of personal guidance and support of any established franchise in the UK. Typically, each of our full-time Business Development Managers works 1-2-1 with five franchisees; providing ongoing coaching, guidance and support on every element of their business. The support changes as the franchisee confidence grows - it really works"

Jo Lock, BDM & Franchise General Manager (and former NIC franchisee)


Contract cleaning and facilities management is a vast sector with
continuous demand where you manage the needs of your clients, combining your team and the latest tech to deliver the bespoke mix of services their premises require.

Unlimited potential: No territory restrictions

NIC have a refreshingly different approach: guiding, supporting and encouraging you to build a larger business, without restricting you to only operating in a small local territory. You can even utilise other franchisees located around the country to deliver your furthest contracts. Win-Win.

Additional income streams from multiple Facilities Management Services

Your team will deliver the range of repeating relatively simple services, enabling you to build a contracted recurring income. Forge deep client relationships, while continually adding more contracts to grow an asset to sell in the future, all while enjoying a stable monthly income.

The latest cleaning science, tech and robotics

Benefit from the wider group’s experience and buying power to leverage the latest tech to save your cleaning operatives’ time and energy, enabling your NIC business to have a competitive advantage and to maximise profitability with the SME markets you will serve.
