Target £90,000 per Year with a Home-Based Cleaning
Franchise
As a One Less Thing franchise owner, you’ll build a professional domestic cleaning
business in your local area while working from home and avoiding day-to-day cleaning
altogether.
This is a management franchise. You focus on growing the business: attracting clients,
vetting reliable self-employed cleaners, and matching the two using our proven systems and
purpose-built software. Cleaners are paid directly by clients — you manage the operation.
With recurring revenue, low overheads, and strong demand across the UK, franchisees can
target £90,000 per year in revenue as the business becomes established, with profit
margins of up to 73%.
