Case Study
"They Laughed when we said we wanted to Clean carpets"!
And why not? Cleaning carpets sounds like hard work, and it's not the most glamorous job in the world. But for us, it means being in business for ourselves and allows us the flexibility to enjoy the good things in life such as, playing a round of golf, taking our kids to sports, and various other family activities. Now don't get us wrong, we do work hard, but we’re well rewarded for the hours we put in, and we have hired and trained technicians to provide a superior quality service to our customers, while Teresa handles the books and the telephone calls. We know we can make this business into anything we want it to be. That gives us a sense of security we never had before.
Sure, we were apprehensive, it's a big decision to go into business for yourself. That's why we looked at several alternatives before selecting a CHEM-DRY franchise as the way to go. During our research, the name CHEM-DRY came up with remarkable consistancy as one of the better franchises available vis a viz return on investment. This made it impossible to ignore. Given the size of the CHEM-DRY network and everything we had learned about it, we believed it was worth the risk. Now, older & wiser, we're even more firmly convinced we made the right decision.
We feel very comfortable knowing that CHEM-DRY is a sound business with over 25 years experience and that they are the largest carpet cleaning franchise in the world, and the largest in Ireland with over 35 franchises operating. We know that they will be around for many years to come. Nothing cleans carpets like CHEM-DRY. It’s safe, non-toxic and hypo-allergenic.This is so important in providing the consumer with a product that delights them and actually improves indoor air quality.
Our primary considerations in buying a business was it's potential to grow. Once again we believe that the CHEM-DRY system provides this. Our business has achieved our highest expectations, and we have now purchased a second CHEM-DRY franchise in an adjoining area. To-day we are the proud owners of a rapidly expanding business where we're in control and we keep all of the profits. I can't help but wonder where we would be now if we had bought the CHEM-DRY franchise when we first looked at starting our own business three years earlier. Now our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner!
But I guess the best part of a CHEM-DRY franchise is that you can make it anything you want it to be. You can start as a one man operation, then build it into quite a large business, if yuo choose. CHEM-DRY doesn't even charge a percentage of your income, just a low, flat monthly fee, so the rewards are tremendous.
Sure they laughed when we said we wanted to clean carpets. But look who's laughing now!
