Is This For You?
We provide you with everything you need to operate your own cleaning business. Running a Poppies franchise isn't for everyone — here's how to know if it's for you.
Who tends to succeed with Poppies
After 40 years of offering franchises to the very best people in each area, we've identified the characteristics that tend to lead to success.
- Energetic and happy to get stuck in
- Friendly, chatty and comfortable in social situations
- A strong desire to succeed
- Highly driven and self-motivated
- Motivated by providing a better life for your family
- Passionate about making a change
- Well organised, able to manage your time
- Patient, with a caring side
- Takes ownership of everything you do
We can provide you with a proven business model that has generated our franchisees millions of pounds in revenue, but ultimately the level of success you achieve will be down to you. If that sounds like you, that's fantastic news. If it doesn't, then maybe running your own cleaning business isn't for you.
What you bring — and what we bring
This is a people business, and people skills are a key requirement. You don't need cleaning experience: full training and support take you from complete novice to profitable business owner.
Experience and know-how
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.
Financial independence
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.
Make a difference
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.
Total flexibility
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.
Three things we ask of every franchisee
1. Put the guidance into action
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to take the information and training we provide and actually put it to use. The model has generated millions of pounds of sales for our franchisees when it's followed properly.
2. Commit your time
This is your business and you choose when you work to suit your lifestyle. Whether you want a steady monthly income or a six-figure full-time income, you need to commit the time and follow our guidance to get there.
3. Bring the enthusiasm
You need to be friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic about your business. Sharing that enthusiasm is what drives a Poppies business forward.
Every potential franchisee goes through a stringent recruitment process so we can be confident we're right for each other — this is explained further in our free information pack.
