Nationwide Cleaners’ newest franchisee thrives

Nationwide Cleaners’ newest franchisee has explained how he decided to join the franchise and start his own business.

Tanaka Mukanhairi had always harboured the ambition to be an entrepreneur, and finally decided to make the leap when he became a father. He explained,

“I have always wanted to own a business when I was younger, purely for the freedom it can allow me to have and also because of the potential high income it can bring. I have always worked for businesses and never enjoyed being told what to do everyday - nor did I enjoy working long hours, sometimes starting at 6am and getting back home after 6:30pm.”

Like many people, Tanaka became tired of life as an employee and was inspired to launch his own business when family life changed:

“My biggest push was my new-born baby, as I wanted a business I could run from home so I didn't miss out on precious moments. I looked around for a couple of months until I came across Nationwide Cleaners, I did my research on the franchise, read the franchisee experiences and spoke to Peter, who explained everything to me.”

Being able to find out about life at Nationwide Cleaners gave Tanaka the confidence to make the next step and invest in the business. Now, he is the proud owner of the domestic cleaning franchise’s Colchester and Ipswich branch.

Tanaka explained why he feels so excited about the opportunity:

“To this day, even in a pandemic, I'm feeling very positive that my business will be successful and I'm very much looking forward to growing it as the days, weeks and months go on. Peter and Alex are only a text or call away if you need assistance - so are other franchisees - so you won't be thrown in the deep end!”
