The NIC Local franchise opportunity

If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own business, being your own boss, and building something that belongs to you, the NIC Local franchise could be exactly the opportunity you’re looking for. With decades of experience and a strong national reputation, NIC Local has developed a franchise model that balances independence with support, giving you the freedom to grow your own business while having an expert team by your side.

Franchising can sometimes feel overwhelming, with complex systems and high costs. NIC Local is different; simple, supportive and designed with franchisees in mind. From recurring revenue streams to full back-office support, NIC Local has put together everything you need to succeed, even if you’ve never run a business before.

Why choose NIC Local?

1. Be your own boss, with recurring income

One of the biggest draws of the NIC Local franchise is the chance to be in control of your career and future. Instead of working to build someone else’s company, you’ll be growing your own. You get to set your goals, make the important decisions, and shape your path.

At the same time, you’re not starting from scratch. NIC Local operates in the commercial cleaning and facilities management sector, a market that provides repeat business and strong income. Most contracts are ongoing, meaning you don’t need to constantly search for new customers.

NIC Local be your own boss

This stability makes the business model especially attractive if you’re looking for consistency while running your own operation.

2. Grow without limits

When you join NIC Local, you’re not just buying a job, you’re investing in a business asset that can grow over time. The beauty of this franchise is that it can scale. You can start small, focusing on a handful of contracts, and then expand as your confidence, network, and revenues grow.

Some franchisees have grown their operations into businesses that turnover millions, with many long-term contracts and large teams of staff. And because the NIC Local model is structured around recurring income, your business isn’t just about today, it’s building long-term value that you could one day sell.

3. Diversify your services

Another reason to consider NIC Local is the flexibility it offers. While contract cleaning services are the foundation, the franchise model also allows you to add on additional services and sales.

Offering multiple services doesn’t just grow your revenue. It also makes your contracts stronger and stickier. Clients are more likely to stay with you long term if you’re delivering a range of solutions, and it positions your business as a one-stop partner rather than just another service provider.

4. Harness the power of technology

The cleaning industry is changing, and NIC Local makes sure you’re ahead of the curve. As a franchisee, you’ll have access to the latest cleaning science and technology. These innovations aren’t gimmicks, they’re tools that help you deliver better results, reduce costs, and run your business more efficiently.

Having this kind of technology at your fingertips means you can compete for larger, higher-value contracts and present yourself as a modern, forward-thinking business. It gives you an edge that independent operators often can’t match.

5. Lifetime support and mentoring

Starting a business can feel daunting, but with NIC Local, you’re never on your own. Each franchisee is paired with a dedicated Business Development Manager (BDM) who provides one-to-one mentoring and guidance. This isn’t a one-off training session, it’s lifelong support, available when you need it.

Your BDM will guide you with sales and business growth strategies, ensuring you have the tools and knowledge to win contracts and manage them effectively.

6. Back-office support that saves you time

One of the biggest hurdles for small business owners is administration. Chasing invoices and managing payroll can quickly become overwhelming and eat into the time you should be spending building your business.

NIC Local solves this by handling much of the admin on your behalf. Their head office team takes care of invoicing, credit control and payroll. That way, you can concentrate on growing your client base and leading your team, while the paperwork is handled.

Put simply, NIC Local has designed a franchise model that supports growth and creates genuine long-term value. Instead of struggling as a solo startup, you step into a proven system with:

  • A trusted national brand behind you
  • Recurring income streams
  • The ability to scale up and add services
  • Access to cutting-edge technology and products
  • Ongoing mentoring and support from experts
  • Comprehensive admin services to free up your time

This combination makes NIC Local stand out in the franchise world. It’s an opportunity to run your own business with the confidence of knowing that you have a strong team and reliable systems backing you up.

Is NIC Local right for you?

You don’t need years of business experience to become a successful NIC Local franchisee. What you do need is tenacity, determination, a willingness to learn and the drive to build something for yourself. If you’re motivated to take control of your future, work hard, and make the most of the support available, this could be the franchise for you.

Whether you’re looking for an excellent income, a scalable business, or a long-term asset to pass on or sell in the future, NIC Local gives you the framework to make it happen.

At its heart, the NIC Local franchise is about giving people the chance to run their own business with the reassurance of guidance and support. You’ll enjoy the freedom of being self-employed, but with less of the uncertainty that comes from going it alone.

With recurring contracts, growth opportunities, technology, and unmatched back-office support, NIC Local offers a franchise model that is both simple and powerful. For anyone considering stepping into business ownership, it’s a chance to achieve financial independence and build something you can call your own.

Franchise support team helps new NIC Local business owner achieve 240% of his first-year forecast

We are never shy to celebrate our franchisees’ success – but this is one we are particularly proud of.

We are delighted to share the news that one of NIC Local newest franchisees, Luke Reeves, has secured a substantial multi-year contract with a major pharmaceutical company.

The contract covers the extensive commercial cleaning requirements at the client’s production facility in the South West of England, a region that Luke’s franchise covers.

Expressing his enthusiasm about the contract win, Luke said: “We are thrilled to be awarded and trusted with the cleaning services at such an important site. We were able to demonstrate that we can add value to and compliance with the good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations.

NIC Local franchisee

“We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues over the coming weeks.”

Turbocharging the start of Luke’s franchise

This big contract win is the latest acceleration in what is an incredibly strong start to Luke’s NIC Local business.

Despite his franchise only officially launching in April 2024, Luke has already achieved an incredible 240% of his business plan customer acquisition forecast for the first year of trading after just five months.

The scale of this pharmaceutical contract brings not only immediate financial benefits, but also a steady stream of income over the coming years. This stability will give Luke the solid foundation needed to continue expanding his operations and securing new business with confidence.

Leveraging the power of NIC Local franchise support team

Whilst Luke’s hard work and dedication of course played a key role in winning this contract, it was also made possible by the extensive wraparound support we provide to all franchisees.

It is a core pillar of our franchise package and ensures everyone has unmitigated access to the wider team’s knowledge and skills to help drive their business growth.

Our killer tender team on this occasion included:

    • Peter Robb (Business Development Director) – who attended the client meeting in person with Luke, offering his insights and expertise to help make a strong impression
    • Steve Wengrow (Group Commercial Director) and Jo Lock (General Manager) – who joined the meetings via Teams to provide additional support
    • Matthew Sammons (Franchisee) – who brought in his experience from servicing a division of the same client in the North East, adding valuable context and understanding of the client’s expectations
    • Paul Faulkner (Group Marketing Director) – who played a crucial role in crafting the successful bid, ensuring the proposal highlighted NIC Local unique strengths and capabilities

By pooling resources and expertise from across the business, we are able to ensure all franchisees gain a significant competitive advantage.

“Our success with this contract would not have been possible without the incredible support we have received, particularly as a new franchise,” explains Luke.

“From the initial client meeting to the final submission of the tender, the team was with me every step of the way, providing the guidance and expertise needed to win the contract.”

Regarding tender support, Paul Faulkner added: “Supporting the franchisees through the tender process is critical, especially if the franchisee has not been through this process previously. The tender document should not only provide the prospective client with a clear, comprehensive, and tailored response but it should demonstrate that NIC Local is flexible in our approach and that one size does not fit all.

Importantly it should demonstrate the professionalism of being part of one of the largest family-owned commercial cleaning businesses and the character of the franchisee.”

Create an exciting future with NIC Local

Luke’s fantastic early success is testament to what can be achieved with us. For prospective franchisees in particular, it illustrates the amazing potential of becoming an NIC Local business owner.

Whether you are an experienced entrepreneur or new to the world of franchising, we provide the tools, resources, and expert guidance needed to build a thriving business.
