The operating system for the global cleaning industry
The marketplace is free and always will be. That is how we acquire the supply side of a £380bn, almost entirely offline industry at a cost commission-taking competitors cannot match. We monetise the infrastructure that sits on top of it: credentials, compliance, training and data.
How CQD New Gen monetises
Zero commission is how we acquire supply, not how we earn. The revenue sits one layer up, and none of it charges a cleaner to work.
Zero commission. The wedge that takes the supply side off the market at a cost commission-takers cannot survive.
Trust Profile + certification that travels with a worker across borders. Paid tiers, re-verification, employer-paid bulk verification.
CQD Academy. Recurring, high-margin, and it deepens the credential above it.
Promoted placement and featured listings in the directory and search. Near-zero marginal cost.
COSHH, DBS, risk-assessment, attendance and audit — productised for the 20,000+ cleaning companies on the platform. The system-of-record layer.
Qualified public/commercial contract leads routed to verified companies — paid by the company, never the worker.
The cleaning-industry data index — free to read (the citation source), licensed to suppliers, insurers, FM groups and analysts.
Global cleaning services market approximately £380bn, almost entirely offline and at the start of digitisation. Positioning reference only; nothing here is an offer or invitation to invest.
Compliance is the moat, not the risk
Operating across many jurisdictions means worker-classification, employment and data law are hard. We treat that as a barrier to entry we have already cleared, built in from day one rather than retrofitted.
Live activity
Real counts from the platform, updated continuously.
How it works
Create a profile, get verified, earn a certification badge, and appear in search and the leaderboard.
Employers and agencies post cleaning jobs at zero commission and hire directly — CQD never takes a cut of wages.
Optional certification, business advertising, a supplier directory and prize competitions — never the core matching.
How it makes money
Core matching is, and remains, free and zero-commission — the moat is trust and network density. Monetisation sits alongside it (certification, advertising, directory, competitions), so revenue scales with the network without taxing the two-sided marketplace that drives growth.
