It is without a doubt the best business decision we have ever made
We could not have done this without it being such an excellent business model and help from head office and team. It is without a doubt the best business decision we have ever made and would recommend the franchise to anyone.
We are Ralph and Hazel Watson. We have been self-employed for the past 20 years. Our first successful venture was a carpet and upholstery business which we built up over 10 years.
Although it gave us a relatively good lifestyle, it was very much hands on physical work and consumed a lot of our time.
As time went on, we started to look at other business models namely the domestic cleaning sector as a lot of our repeat clients from our carpet cleaning business started to ask us if we knew anyone who provided such a service.
We looked in to several franchises and Time for You being one of them. After meeting 3 different Franchisors it was a no brainer to go with Freddie and Ruth @ Time for You. The package they offer and the business model was exactly what we were looking for. It was head and shoulders above the other options.
We started our training in January 2005 and buy the end of that month we got our first client by doing exactly what we had been trained to do.
Our main focus for marketing was leafleting as online and social media marketing was virtually non-existent. The clients came in as predicted and within 18 months we hit our first milestone of 100 clients at this point we decided to sell our carpet cleaning company and give our full focus on Time for You.
We had 2 young children and Time For You gave us more free time to spend with our kids and take them to and from school and never miss a special occasion.
Since 2010 - 2020 we grew our business to 570 clients which grossed us roughly £140,000 per annum. As you can imagine it has given us a tremendous lifestyle allowing us to enjoy great holidays and special times with family and friends. This all being done with myself and Hazel from home with no additional staff.
The resilience of Time for You has proven itself over the 15 years we have owned the Fife franchise. Coming through the housing crash in 2008 and now during a global pandemic.
We could not have done this without it being such an excellent business model and help from head office and team.
It is without a doubt the best business decision we have ever made and would recommend the franchise to anyone.
