Here's what the experts have to say
"currently the personal (household) services industry is worth around $46 billion and is growing. By comparison the Forestry and Agriculture sector is worth $34 billion (including those old staples like wool and wheat). This emerging sector employs over 720,000 and contributes about 3% to our GDP. The key drivers of this relatively new industry are the cash-rich, time poor double-income households. These people can't see the point of working two jobs between them and then coming home to two more jobs! So we are seeing more household activities being outsourced...."

And you know what else? It means all your work goes into creating a great business with great resale potential
Here's what John McNeely said when after 8 and a half years he sold his business for considerably more than he originally paid for it (and remember that's after he had run it for 8 years grossing around the $50,000/year mark);
The Second Longest Serving United Franchisee of all time
"I wish to thank you for the assistance in helping me to arrange the sale of my franchise. The outcome was great!, for both me and the purchaser. It was with regret, that due to ill health, that I was to sell my franchise after 8 1/2 years. In that time I was able to run a very successful home cleaning business, with the backing of United Home Services, who were at all times available and able to help and assist me in my business. I found that there was a great deal of work satisfaction in dealing so closely with the customers, that I grew to know over a long period of time, and with whom I made great friendships. I wish United staff and Franchisee's, all the best in the future."
