When Liam Scarrott first started his Jim’s Cleaning franchise in Waikiki three years ago, he had big plans for growing the business and providing exceptional service to his local community.
Now, just three years later, Liam’s franchise has expanded to a team of 8 employees, all while maintaining a perfect 5-star rating and delivering unparalleled quality to his growing customer base.
Liam shared the inside story of his franchising journey – from the early days of building his team, to the strategies he’s used to deliver top-notch customer service, to the ways he’s giving back to the community.
It’s an inspiring tale of entrepreneurial success, and a testament to the power of the Jim’s Group franchise system.
Assembling the Right Team for Growth
When Liam first started his Jim’s Cleaning franchise in 2020, he knew that building the right team would be crucial to the business’s long-term success.
And as he explains, a large part of that team-building process has come from tapping into his personal network and connections.
But Liam hasn’t just relied on his personal connections – he’s also put a lot of thought into his hiring process for bringing on new team members from outside his inner circle.
Rather than conducting formal interviews, Liam prefers to take a more casual, get-to-know-you approach.
This focus on cultural fit has paid off, as Liam’s team has grown to 8 employees, with the majority working 30+ hours per week.
As the business has expanded, Liam has been able to take on more leads and ensure that all of his team members have close to full-time hours.
Delivering Exceptional Customer Service
Of course, building a successful cleaning franchise is about more than just assembling the right team – it’s also about delivering consistently high-quality service to customers.
This is an area where Liam and his team have truly excelled, maintaining a perfect 5-star rating and earning rave reviews from their clients.
Liam attributes this success to a few key factors, including the intensive training and oversight he provides for new team members, as well as the collaborative, team-based approach they take to cleaning each home.
But Liam’s commitment to quality goes beyond just the cleaning process itself.
He and his team also take great pride in using high-quality, eco-friendly products that are safe for both people and pets.
This includes the Jim’s Group cleaning products, as well as a specialized window cleaner called Halo that Liam swears by.
But perhaps most importantly, Liam and his team go the extra mile to deliver a truly personalized cleaning experience for each and every customer.
Whether it’s making beds, tidying up toys, or simply leaving a home sparkling clean, Liam’s team is always looking for ways to delight their clients and exceed their expectations.
Giving Back to the Community
While Liam’s focus on quality and customer service has been a key driver of his franchise’s success, he’s also deeply committed to using his business as a force for good in the local community.
In fact, Liam has made community outreach and philanthropy a core part of his company’s mission and values.
One of the ways Liam and his team have put this mission into action is by setting aside funds from each job to provide free cleaning services for deserving members of the community who aren’t even their regular clients.
Gestures like these, while not done for recognition, have earned Liam and his team a reputation as true community champions.
As Liam explains, this focus on giving back is just as important to the business’s success as delivering top-notch cleaning services.
The Rewards of Franchising with Jim’s Group
As Liam reflects on his journey over the past three years, it’s clear that his decision to join the Jim’s Group franchise system has been a major factor in his success.
From the support and resources provided by the corporate team, to the flexibility to grow the business at his own pace, Liam has found the Jim’s Group model to be a perfect fit for his entrepreneurial ambitions.
Liam has also been impressed by the level of support and responsiveness he’s received from the Jim’s Group team, whether it’s getting his questions answered or accessing the resources he needs to grow his business.
As a reward for his hard work and success, Liam was recently named as one of the winners of the Jim’s Group Silver Membership program.
This exclusive membership provides him with complimentary hotel stays, dining discounts, and other perks – a well-deserved recognition of his achievements as a Jim’s franchisee.
A Bright Future Ahead
Looking ahead, Liam has ambitious plans to continue growing his Jim’s Cleaning franchise, with a focus on maintaining the high-quality standards and community-oriented approach that have been the hallmarks of his success so far.

With his unwavering commitment to quality, community, and customer service, it’s clear that Liam Scarrott and his Jim’s Cleaning franchise are poised for continued success in the years to come.
