In a time when businesses are under constant pressure to optimize operations and reduce costs without compromising service quality, many are searching for smarter, more strategic solutions. Traditional outsourcing often creates distance, complexity, and a lack of control. But what if you could combine the strategic control of in-house operations with the efficiency and expertise of outsourcing?
That’s exactly what UniCo Services – The Facility Services Company delivers through our Joint Venture-based Service Companies Model—a revolutionary approach that transforms how businesses manage support services.
Reimagine Operations with Strategic Joint Ventures
Let’s face it: managing services like cleaning, catering, maintenance, and facility management through separate vendors is inefficient, costly, and often inconsistent. A Joint Venture model replaces this fragmented system with a single, integrated solution—a dedicated service company co-owned by you and operated by experts from UniCo Services.
This isn’t outsourcing. It’s collaboration with structure, control, and measurable value.
Unlock Control, Cut Costs, and Elevate Service Quality
A Joint Venture Service Company is a standalone legal entity designed to manage all or specific parts of your facility services. It’s tailored exclusively to your business and co-managed with UniCo Services to ensure seamless execution, legal compliance, and high performance.
Here’s what makes it a game-changer:
Tax Optimization Without the Headache
Operating through a jointly owned service company offers significant tax advantages. Depending on your jurisdiction, this structure can help reduce your overall tax burden, improve cost allocation, and simplify reporting across multiple service areas.
Transparent and Predictable Costs
Say goodbye to monthly cost fluctuations, hidden charges, and unclear billing. Joint ventures allow for structured service budgets, giving you full visibility and control over operational spending.
Tailored Services That Reflect Your Standards
With a service company built around your specific needs, you’re no longer limited to one-size-fits-all vendor packages. You set the benchmarks. UniCo Services delivers to meet and exceed them.
Access to Top-Tier Talent and Infrastructure
You’re not just building a service entity—you’re tapping into decades of operational excellence. We bring industry-leading expertise, tools, and systems into every joint venture we manage.
The Building Blocks of Your Service Company
A Proven, Step-by-Step Approach
UniCo Services has refined the process of launching Joint Venture service companies into a clear, compliant, and collaborative system. Here’s how we bring it to life:
- Consultation and Discovery We begin with deep-dive consultations to understand your operations, pain points, goals, and service landscape. Whether you operate one site or fifty, we tailor our recommendations to your unique environment.
- Business Case and Financial Modeling Our experts analyze current service costs and forecast the financial outcomes of the service company model, including tax benefits, operational improvements, and HR restructuring if needed.
- Joint Venture Structuring We form a new legal entity in full compliance with local labor and tax laws. Ownership is typically split between your company and UniCo Services, giving you strategic control without day-to-day management pressure.
- Staff Transition and Onboarding Existing in-house staff or vendor teams can be seamlessly transferred to the service company under agreed terms. We ensure this is done respectfully, legally, and transparently.
- Operational Launch and Ongoing Management With the legal structure, staffing, and strategy in place, the new service company begins operating. UniCo Services takes care of the management, reporting, and performance monitoring.
