What's included in your Poppies franchise package
Whichever model you choose — owner-operator or management — we provide you with everything you need to start and grow a successful cleaning business.
Built to get you trading fast, with less risk
Poppies is designed as a genuinely fast-track route into business ownership, without cutting back on support.
Franchise packages start far below the typical fee charged across the wider franchise market, and there are no premises or leases to worry about — you can run the business from home with a laptop and a decent broadband connection. Domestic cleaning is a huge and growing UK market, and you carry the branding of a recognised national name from day one, with the aim of reaching break-even inside your first six months.
Everything in your franchise package
Exclusive territory, training, marketing, mentoring and the systems the network already runs on.
Low initial set-up
Packages start far below the typical £30,000–£40,000 franchise fee, without cutting back on the support you get.
Low ongoing financial risk
No premises, no leases, no stock beyond cleaning supplies. Your fixed costs stay small while margins build.
Quick break-even
The model is designed so you can reach break-even inside the first six months rather than years in.
Huge, growing demand
Domestic cleaning is a billion-pound UK market, and you carry the branding of a recognised national name.
No premises or leases
Run the business from home with a laptop and a decent broadband connection. Add a shop front later only if you want to.
Recurring income streams
Regular cleaning contracts create repeat business, so the clients you win this month keep paying next year.
Poppies Training Academy
Structured training tailored to your experience, from complete novice to confident business owner.
Marketing that fills your diary
A launch campaign, proven lead-generation methods and national brand awareness working in your territory.
Mentoring and a buddy programme
Direct access to managing director Chris Wootton, an active franchisee network and a formal buddy scheme.
Technology and systems
The scheduling, quoting and back-office systems the network already runs on — no software to build or choose.
Support that continues after launch
Poppies franchisees get direct access to managing director Chris Wootton, an active franchisee network, and a formal buddy programme pairing you with an experienced franchise partner.
At launch, Poppies generates enquiries into your new business through your local marketing campaign — a facebook page and paid campaign, a PPC campaign, social media content management, and a website optimised within the national Poppies site with its own SEO. You also get a marketing starter pack, a cleaning equipment starter pack, and access to all of the legal and operational documents and the operational platform the wider network already uses, so there is nothing to build from scratch.
