Description
Chem-Dry® is the largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise in the world. It has gained its popularity through the use of a revolutionary carbonating cleaning system, which ensures that carpets or fabrics are dry within one to two hours. The carbonating Chem-Dry® method is not only very effective, but is safe, with no risk of shrinkage, mildew or dirt attracting residue. The Chem-Dry® name is synonymous with high quality service, advanced cleaning techniques, which are backed up by ongoing research, and a strong base of customer satisfaction.

The Chem-Dry® franchise system is currently the fastest growing network in the UK, from a zero start, and it allows your business to be as large or small as you wish. Whether you prefer to remain a sole operator earning a comfortable living, or whether you aim to be at the head of a large and expanding enterprise, the choice is yours.

In the UK alone, where Chem-Dry® has been operating since 1987, there are over 700 franchises in operation, and an eighteen-year history of success has proven that Chem-Dry® methods and products form a sound investment.

Chem-Dry® offers you the opportunity to build your own business in an enjoyable and flexible working environment. It is an excellent way to own and operate your own business, as it provides you with a tested and proven formula for success, complete with full backup support. At the same time it allows you the freedom to run your own, independent business.

Income potential is high, and yet your initial investment is low. As you are able to work from home, your overheads are also low. Following training, income is available immediately from national contracts to ensure a successful start to your business. You then build on this base by generating local business through your own marketing and we even train you how to get the best results from your marketing programme.

Franchisees enjoy the benefits of equipment and solutions they can confidently rely on. They also have access to full training and ongoing support from their master franchise.

When you decide to invest in a Chem-Dry® franchise, you will be arming yourself with everything you need to begin operating your business. This includes a deposit on a sign-written van, professional training, a promotional, advertising and media pack, the Chem-Dry FranBase Customer Management Software and all the equipment and cleaning solution you need. And Chem-Dry doesn't take a percentage of your turnover or profits, allowing you every opportunity to build your successful Chem-Dry® business.

Most importantly, the Chem-Dry® cleaning system sells itself. Once your customers discover what a difference this unique and revolutionary cleaning system makes, you will be assured of repeat business. 95% of our customers in a recent survey said they would use Chem-Dry® again. There is nothing more rewarding than building a business based solidly on quality service and sustained customer satisfaction.
