Figures from our own franchisee survey. Poppies franchisees do not tend to leave — they grow.
You are not buying a logo. You are buying 45 years of learning how to run this business properly.
Forty-five years of running domestic cleaning businesses, thousands of clients nationwide and a franchise network that has seen off recessions, foot-and-mouth and a pandemic. You inherit all of it on day one.
Poppies management franchisees have built six-figure businesses using the same blueprint you will be trained on. Recurring cleaning contracts mean income that keeps arriving each month.
Poppies cleaners are directly employed, properly paid and genuinely valued. You are building a business that improves your clients' week and your team's working life.
Run it from a laptop, from home, around school hours or alongside another commitment. There are no performance targets — you set the pace of growth.
Start hands-on and convert later, or build a managed team from day one.

Poppies franchise partners on support, resilience and the decision to join.
“The fact that you're coming into a franchise means you've got the support there already from the network. We've gone through foot and mouth, recessions, Covid, and we're still going, protecting our staff and lifestyle. It's a very robust model.”
“Poppies has helped me develop new skills that I never had before. But the thing about Poppies is that you are making a difference to people's lives — it seemed to me there was very little chance I could fail with the support I would have. I'm here over 10 years later, so I obviously made a good decision!”
“It was a big learning curve, but it was good because with Poppies there is always support there for you. You just have to call somebody and they will tell you how they dealt with the same situation. That support mechanism and backup is really handy.”
“We tailor our training to each of our franchise partners. This way we recognise each person's needs, transferable skills, and the things they bring to the business.”
