Four services. Four income streams.

Most home services franchises are built around a single service.

Local Treasures is different.

We offer customers gardening, cleaning, handyman and companionship services through one trusted local brand.

That simple difference creates a powerful commercial advantage for our franchisees.

Why choose Local Treasures?

A larger addressable market

Instead of relying on demand for a single service, Local Treasures franchisees can help almost every household. More potential customers means greater revenue potential from day one.

Four complementary income streams

Gardening, cleaning, handyman and companionship services naturally complement one another. As customers build trust in Local Treasures, they often return for additional services, creating valuable cross-selling opportunities and increasing customer lifetime value.

Easier recruitment

People rarely have just one skill. Someone may join as a cleaner but also be an experienced gardener or handyman. Offering multiple services enables franchisees to build stronger, more versatile teams and maximise the talents of every worker (we call them Treasures).

A more resilient business

Different services peak at different times of the year. By offering four complementary services, franchisees are less exposed to seasonal fluctuations and can build a business with multiple, recurring revenue streams.

Technology that helps you scale

Local Treasures has invested more than £1 million in award-winning technology, developed with support from Innovate UK. Our platform automates customer enquiries, matching, scheduling, invoicing, payments and communications, allowing franchisees to focus on growing their business rather than administration.

A management franchise

Your role isn’t to mow lawns or clean houses.

Your role is to build a successful local business.

You’ll recruit and support your team of Treasures, build relationships within your community, develop your customer base and oversee the delivery of exceptional service. Many franchisees choose to carry out some work themselves during the early stages, but the long-term opportunity is to build a scalable management business.

Built around people

Local Treasures was founded in 2013 by Sarah Heyworth after she experienced first-hand how difficult it was to find reliable, trusted people to help with everyday jobs around the home.

The solution wasn’t another gardening company or another cleaning company.

It was a trusted local brand offering multiple home services through one simple platform.

Today, Local Treasures helps thousands of customers maintain their homes while creating flexible local work for experienced people, many of whom are older adults, parents and carers.

Comprehensive training and ongoing support

You don’t need experience in gardening, cleaning or property maintenance to run a successful Local Treasures franchise.

Our comprehensive training programme covers every aspect of building and growing your business, including sales, marketing, recruitment, customer service, finance, operations, compliance and technology.

You’ll also receive ongoing mentoring from founders Sarah and Nick Heyworth, regular business reviews, marketing support, operational guidance and continuous access to new training and resources as your business grows.

Who makes a great Local Treasures franchisee?

Our most successful franchisees are ambitious, enthusiastic people who enjoy building relationships and making things happen.

You don’t need industry experience.

You do need the motivation to grow a business, support your local community and lead a team of trusted Treasures.

If you’re looking for a management franchise with multiple revenue streams, sophisticated technology, genuine social impact and the opportunity to build a substantial business, Local Treasures could be exactly what you’re looking for.
