Recent research suggests that more than 80% of 18-24 year olds have aspirations to start their own business in the future. However, despite so many young people having entrepreneurial dreams, many are put off taking this path as a result of fears over a lack of experience or skills. The good news is, masses of experience isn’t always required to run a successful business, especially when you have the right support. This is why a growing number of young people are starting a domestic cleaning franchise business.
Why a Domestic Cleaning Franchise is a good career move for Young Adults
The domestic cleaning industry provides great career opportunities for young people seeking to be their own boss. Unlike other industries, there is always a demand for cleaning services, and as life gets busier and busier, an increasing number of people are investing in regular house cleaning.
Whilst there are always risks to starting a business, the franchise model offers a proven business plan, along with training and support from the franchisor. On top of these benefits, many young adults already have many of the most important attributes needed to be a successful entrepreneur in the domestic cleaning industry.
Highly Ambitious and Motivated
From looking at the percentage of young people that are driven towards self-employment, it is clear that people in the early stages of their career are highly aspirational and motivated to be successful. An eagerness to learn and develop new skills is ideal when it comes to domestic cleaning franchise training programmes, helping new franchisees to work hard to establish their business and learn as much as possible in a short period of time.
Open Minded
One of the key characteristics required for a franchisee is the willingness to follow the franchise business plan. It can be argued that the older the franchisee, the more likely they will be to want to follow their own way of doing things, rather than following the proven plan in place, feeling that they know better than the franchisor.
Young people are generally less set in their ways, so they will be happier to follow the rules put in place by the franchisor, but this is not to say that they won’t also be able to communicate their own ideas, which could benefit the franchise going forward.
Life Flexibility
Younger people are less likely to have as many commitments to balance with franchising, allowing for a good work/life balance. If a person launches their cleaning business early in their career, before they have to navigate commitments such as caring for children, or ageing parents, it’s easier to put in the hours necessary to establish and grow the domestic cleaning franchise.
One of the key benefits of a franchise is that there is always flexibility for working hours, so once the business is up and running, the option to start a family alongside the business is there.
