A rare and exciting Franchise Resale opportunity is available for ZeroDryTime in the established West Cheshire territory. An established ZeroDryTime Franchise in West Cheshire having been trading over the last 8 years with a strong client base and yearly revenue of £86,000 Zero Dry time is a successful carpet, upholstery and hard floor cleaning business established in 2008 with franchises across the UK. It has a strong regional footprint in the North West and, as they are each independent business who are not in competition with each other, franchisees regularly collaborate for larger scale work as well as referring enquiries they may receive for another franchise area. Working together in this way raises the regional profile of Zero Dry Time and serves to enhance each individual business. In 2021 the franchise took on and trained a full-time technician with a second van who operates independently. The technician now manages the majority of marketing, enquiries and work but is supported by the franchise holder periodically who works part time. For the purchaser, this could be a management type franchise, or it would readily revert to a highly profitable one-person business from day one. The valuation is based on 1.5 x net cash flow, which represents excellent value for a successful franchise. There is a possibility the existing technician would be prepared to work for the new purchaser if desirable to the purchaser, but this is not guaranteed. Current Annual Turnover The turnover in the financial year ending 5th April 2025 was £86K. Monthly, there are typically 40 to 60 telephone enquiries to our 0800 number, 10 to 15 calls direct to our business mobile numbers/messaging apps and 10 web enquiries (from enquiry form on main Zero Dry Time website). Potential Growth Currently less than 20% of the territory of approx.150K homes in the territory is actively marketed by way of regular full-page adverts in four A5 magazines delivered monthly to approximately 25,000 homes. At this mature stage of the business, approximately 53% of work comes from repeat customers and referrals. There is significant scope for growth among domestic customers. In particular by making use of Social media and Google ads as well as expanding the traditional print media and leafleting distribution areas within the territory. Commercial clients make up only a small proportion of the turnover at present (approx. £10K) which could be significantly expanded as there is currently no routine business focused marketing. We do have regular cleaning appointments with Watches ff Switzerland (Goldsmiths jewellers) and other local businesses. There are currently 84 five-star reviews on Google and a further 96 across Facebook and Yell.com social media platforms. We have 695 likes and 721 Facebook Followers.
