Why Choose Minster Cleaning?


Has workplace cleaning ever been so important?

Minster Cleaning know that commercial cleaning is now more important than ever. We are one of the UK’s largest commercial cleaning management franchises and have been established for over 40 years with more than 40 branches across the UK and a group turnover of over £50million.

Tried and tested business model


On average, franchisees have been with us for 17 years, indeed nearly half have been with us for 20 years or more, showing that our model works and is providing secure and profitable futures for our partners.

Great earning potential

Across our franchise network, top branches are each achieving sales of more than £2 million per year and many are turning over in excess of £1 million. Net profit potential is £200k+ per year. Our territories are large and exclusive to each branch offering a wide geographical target market to maximise.

Exceptional support and training


We offer exceptional head office support to help your business succeed. We provide guidance and full training across all key business areas: marketing, operations, training, IT and accounting to make sure you’re set up quickly and seeing a healthy return on your investment.

Before you start trading, we offer one week of training at our Network Support Centre in Birmingham, to introduce you to our business processes and procedures across our key business functions; marketing, operational, IT and accounting.

We then offer structured visits to your branch over a further 8-week period to help set up your IT hardware and software and help get you off to a flying start. Following this, on-going support and guidance is offered as required.

Build a valuable asset

Over time, you have the chance to build a strong income stream and eventually a valuable and saleable asset.

Strong network of like-minded franchisees

We have over 40 branches throughout the UK with franchisees always willing to offer support, help and share their experiences.

Minster Cleaning

Guaranteed £45,000 gross profit in your first 12 months!*

*As an incentive to prospective new franchisees buying a new greenfield territory, Minster Cleaning is guaranteeing that you can achieve a gross profit of £45,000 in your first year of trading, provided that you deliver the marketing plan for the first 12 months. This guarantee only covers the first 12 months of trading and not subsequent years of performance.

Because we are so confident in our franchise business model, if you deliver the marketing plan and this gross profit value is not achieved, Minster Cleaning will cover any shortfall in the gross profit performance against our model value of £45,000 in the first year of trading.

This guaranteed gross profit figure is based on the performance of several previous greenfield sites in year 1.

Gross profit is calculated as follows:
