PRISTINE.IE: FRANCHISING SUCCESS STORY

Gary Mathews,
Director of Pristine.ie
 
David Lowe,
Director of Pristine.ie

Two entrepreneurs David Lowe and Gary Mathews have tapped into a lucrative franchising business.

The pristine.ie story is a true success story in franchising, based on an effective systematic operating process and a rapidly developing market place.

Pristine.ie holds the master licence for all of Ireland from the London based MyHome International PLC, for a residential cleaning service, a market place where such services have quadrupled in the past 10 years.

Businessmen David Lowe and Gary Mathews bought that Master licence at the beginning of 2006. MyHome CEO Russell O'Connell says, "Ireland is an ideal market place for growth and through David and Gary, who have excellent business and franchise experience, this will enable them to establish pristine.ie as the first choice supplier of residential cleaning services throughout Ireland."

Business Opportunity

Pristine.ie takes great care in choosing the right franchise partners, and looks for enthusiastic, motivated and business minded individuals who have a real drive to achieve. Going into business for yourself is a big step. Reports state the 60% of independent start ups fail in the first 5 years. However, going into business with a partner that has the experience and expertise makes all the difference.

Pristine.ie has a complete templated system which can demonstrated to potential franchisees at its head office. Originally developed by Unilever, this system has been tested, developed and created so that a franchisee has all the operating systems necessary for a turnkey business.

Profitability

Working in partnership with pristine.ie means not only being supported by the Irish based Master Franchise but also by an international PLC. Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been invested in developing a business support system covering every aspect of the business from the cleaning process itself to recruitment and HR, and from sales management to marketing and optimising territory profit.

The result is a business with low competition, low risk, and low investment, high returns, good training, normal working hours and high profitability.

THE PACKAGE
Pristine.ie offers a comprehensive support package which includes:
  • An exclusive territory, optimised to provide a ready demand for homecare services

  • A five day training programme covering every aspect of starting up and operating your franchise followed by a 90 day nurturing programme

  • A pre launch marketing and PR campaign designed to get customers ringing from day one

  • An IT system preloaded with exclusive MyHome systems software and operating manuals

  • A stock of colour coded janitorial supplies, uniforms, stationery and promotional literature

  • Permanent access to a dedicated support team who can advise on every aspect of operations

  • Advice is given on all aspects of setting up your business including VAT and tax registration, accounting practice and vehicle acquisition
