Laurie’s latest nifty business with great potential for a new owner? On The Spot Cleaning Services. Exclusively located on the beautiful Waiheke Island, it enjoys a consistent pipeline of work, with Waiheke being a recognised and renowned as a holiday-going destination.
Waiheke Island offers On The Spot Cleaning Services a unique competitive advantage. With the island’s high-end real estate, growing population, and thriving tourism industry, the business has great access to a diverse clientele, from vacation property owners who need reliable cleaning services while they’re away to commercial businesses and event venues seeking top-notch cleaning support.
Another advantage is On The Spot Cleaning Services potential for diversification and service expansion. While the current owners have focused primarily on specialised residential cleaning and commercial cleaning, there is an untapped opportunity to explore broader residential cleaning services such as post-construction cleaning, eco-friendly deep cleaning packages, or even offering bundled service agreements with local hospitality businesses.
On The Spot Cleaning Services enjoys a repertoire of repeat clients and continues to grow through its commitment to excellence of service as evidenced by its high rates of customer satisfaction and its 4.9-star Google score.
“The owners and the technician that On The Spot Cleaning Services has are amazing. They take such good care of their clients, from residential property owners to commercial property owners,” says Laurie.
This isn’t your average cleaning service. On The Spot Cleaning Services looks to provide professional and thorough cleaning. They take great care to not only keep furniture and carpets looking pristine but also help to minimise wear and tear, promoting health and cleanliness of a home or office they are servicing.
The business’s services range from carpet steam cleaning, hard floor maintenance, mattress steam cleaning, sofa and chair cleaning, indoor, outdoor and boat squab cleaning to leather care, stain treatment, fabric protection, chimney sweeping and more.
“A key part of the business that makes it so special and so popular on Waiheke is its commitment to using healthier, eco-friendly products when cleaning.”
Using products that are primarily citrus-based and biodegradable, holding Environmental Choice or Wool Safe Certifications, On The Spot Cleaning Services caters to the gap in the market, for customers who are increasingly invested in health and the eco-friendliness of the product they use. This further strengthens The Spot Cleaning Services’ market position, giving it a unique competitive edge that a new owner can continue to capitalise and build on.
“The business also only uses top of the line equipment for cleaning, which means they offer their clients not only exceptional cleaning services but also do so, consistently. This has strengthened their reputation as a reliable business that delivers excellence.”
The current owners work part-time in the business, approximately 15 to 20 hours a week, utilising the powers of an intelligent software system that optimises their schedules and time dedicated per clean.
“For a new owner operator there is great opportunity for the business to expand and scale up.”
Extending beyond Waiheke and into Auckland CBD and surrounding areas, On The Spot Cleaning Services has a well-established business model and respected reputation that offer a new owner a springboard for greater business success and profitability. With the right marketing strategy and operational adjustments, a new owner could capitalise on the business’s solid foundation and take it to the next level.
“A new owner with a sound strategy they can apply to help the business realise its full potential would be ideal.”
Laurie continues that an aspiring owner with a passion for self-employment who is either looking to live in Waiheke, or one that already does reside there would be a perfect fit for the business.
With its glowing reputation and commitment to exceptional service delivered with care for preserving the quality of what is cleaned and the environment, On The Spot Cleaning is an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on!
