A client of mine has just bought a Dublcheck franchise for commercial cleaning does any one on here work for them or had any dealing with them in the past.

It would seem you buy in at a guaranteed level of turnover, they supply all the work to guarantee this level.

I have heard of them but have not had any dealing with them and it seems they are about to launch a carpet & upholstery cleaning franchise as well. So she won't be needing me any more

Was it an existing company, which he bought or did he buy a franchise, which promised him "a guaranteed level of turnover"?
 
Just curious  :

Dublcheck are based in North Wales. The owners were the ex-Jani King master franchisee's but lost the franchise and it got rather ugly by all accounts. So, they set up a franchise copying the JK methods in a lot of ways.
Come across a couple of ex-Dublecheck franchisee's who got out and didn't recommend it.

hi there

i do know a little bit about them, but not really for open debate to be honest.

jani-king and dublcheck work very much the same,

as i understand it there is a guaranteed income level, based on your level of investment, but some of the contracts that they get arent great, ie dont stack up.

so its a  bit like any thing, you pay your money and you take your chance,  it opens up the whole debate again about, how you want to run your business, and how bug you wnat to be over what time scale, and whether you do it yourself, or use a franchise route.

I think they also have an oven clean franchise scheme and possibly a Domestic

I sometimes wonder if the plan is find 100 investors with 8k to 40k

Gives Company 1 million

Think of another Franchise do same AGAIN.


however if they give ood start up support and ou recover your money fast they are good.

If you do not

I took a real interest in their commercial cleaning operation; however, after thorough research the management fee structure appeared too tight for my budget.

All I will say on the subject of buying into a franchise system due diligence (they like that word) (my words a fool and there money are soon parted) Banks are apart of the franchise scam as well hope that hit a nerve, also think a government body should do it’s homework before lending TAX payers money and not getting it back, then again it’s not there money!

I am legally bound not to say anything about my involvement with Dublcheck. Perhaps you can infer something from this.
