Business Strengths
- Pittsworth has a number of Cleaners, however, very few have insurance cover to deal adequately with the needs of local business’s and the modern domestic householders’ requirement for risk reduction. James Home Services Pittsworth offers a fully insured service with a seven day guarantee of all work. All work is quoted on with a full and detailed quoting system.
- Current JHS franchisees have developed a reputation for professional service, gaining new business from a widening local referral base consisting of satisfied clients in and around the Pittsworth area.
- It is not possible for another JHS franchise to be added to the Pittsworth township as franchises are based on 1000 residences. This is the approximate current size of the Pittsworth township. This criteria also means that no JHS interior cleaning franchise is likely to start up in the immediate vicinity. The Pittsworth JHS franchise has a special advantage in the James Home Services network with its ability to safely glean clientele from the neighboring region.
- Pittsworth is a broad based community offering a variety of business opportunities both residential and commercial; town and rural.
Business Opportunities
- Business has been steadily growing with a current weekly gross income derived from regular clients alone. Currently, non regular enquiries are being referred to other local cleaners due to franchisees personal circumstances.
- It is the view of the existing franchisees that this business could very feasibly attain $2000 gross in a five day week for a couple in a working partnership. Figures well in excess of $2000 have been attained by current owners
- The franchise is based on the Pittsworth township, however business is also being gleaned from the surrounding region.
Pittsworth
Pittsworth is an ideal town for potential `Tree-Changers’ looking for a lifestyle change. The residents of Pittsworth make up a friendly and welcoming community. It is common for locals to wave as you drive by; whether they know you or not.
The town is situated 30 minutes from the regional centre of Toowoomba and is now a part of the Toowoomba Regional Council. Pittsworths’ facilities are surprisingly complete for a town of its size; including comprehensive shopping, sport, childcare, fitness as well as many others too numerous to name. It would require a visit to the town to appreciate what this community has to offer.
Regular bus services access Toowoombas’ extensive range of schools which also complements Pittsworths two Primary schools and State High School. The High School has a history of providing a quality education and turning out accomplished students.
The town continues to grow with ongoing building in the town. It has its own water supply and many homes have their own bores allowing for the green thumb to follow their passion of gardening.
