40 YEARS & STILL GOING STRONG

If you’re looking for a franchise with a well-established awardwinning organisation, you can’t go past V.I.P. Home Services. This year they’re very proud to celebrate their 40th birthday so they must be doing something right.

V.I.P. Home Services was the very first home services franchise company and only the 3rd franchise company in the country when it was established by Bill Vis, way back in 1979. Today, they have 1,000 franchisees across Australia and New Zealand. They have a number of franchise divisions with the major three being Lawn and Gardens Maintenance, Home Cleaning and Commercial Cleaning.

V.I.P. franchisees come from all walks of life.

Of course, V.I.P. franchisees do include those individuals who have come from lawn mowing or cleaning jobs who have lots of those skills already. But you may be surprised to know that many of their franchisees come from completely different work environment. Maybe they want a change or maybe they just want their life back. Which is the reason that Mark Palmer, one of their home cleaning franchisees, decided to join V.I.P.

From 100-hour weeks to 6 hours a day!

Mark Palmer went from working 100-hour weeks in the corporate world to working just 6 hours a day in his V.I.P. franchise — and he’s making the same money. Even more importantly, he can now be there for his family. Mark had this to say,

“Working as my own boss in my own V.I.P. franchise means that I can be there for school pickups and the kids’ sport and I’m more present than I ever could be in my previous work. I have taken control of my life and I feel like I can breathe again.”
