Why buy this Home & Commercial Property Maintenance Services Franchise
Home & Commercial Property Maintenance Services Franchise for Sale Auckland
Nico didn't come to Hire A Hubby looking for an easy life. After military service and 19 years in fire and emergency — a career built entirely on showing up fast, solving problems under pressure, and never leaving a job half-done — he moved to New Zealand and eventually bought the Howick and Highland Park Hire A Hubby in December 2016. He brought everything his previous career had taught him into this business.
The result is a loyal, tight-knit client base that trusts him completely — not just to fix things well, but to show up when it matters most. When a pipe bursts at 7pm, Nico doesn't say 'sorry, you'll have to wait two days.' He turns up, shuts off the mains, puts buckets in place, calls the right people, and makes sure the damage is contained. That is not just good service. That is the emergency-response mentality of someone who spent two decades running into burning buildings.
A back injury over the past two years has meant he has had to pull back from bigger jobs and manage his workload carefully. He is ready now to hand this business to someone who can give it what he gave it at his best — full energy, full availability, and full commitment to the community.
What makes this territory compelling:

IDEAL FOR A COUPLE OR PARTNERSHIP: Some of the most successful Hire A Hubby businesses in New Zealand are run by couples — one on the tools, one managing admin, scheduling, and client relationships. This territory is particularly well-suited to that model. The client base and the market support two people building something serious together. Divide the tools and the admin. Double the potential.
IDEAL BUYER: You are available, dependable, and you treat your clients' problems as your own. You show up fast, communicate clearly, and take pride in doing things properly the first time. No trade qualification required — previous HAH owners have come from the armed forces, the fire service, IT, management, retail, and customer service. What they share is reliability, practical confidence, and genuine care for the people they work for. A couple or partnership ready to build something together in one of Auckland's most active property markets is especially well-placed to take this territory to its full potential.
