What alcyon does

Alcyon bv is a Belgian private limited company (VAT BE0446955214) founded in 1992 and headquartered at Poortakkerstraat 41d, 9051 Ghent. It operates commercially under the trade name Iris Proxy, having been acquired by the Iris Group approximately in 2006 and rebranded in 2025 to enable regional expansion beyond its historical Ghent-area base.

The company delivers professional cleaning services to small businesses (KMO) and self-employed professionals (zelfstandigen) in Ghent and surrounding areas. Its service portfolio comprises three core lines: periodic maintenance cleaning (Periodieke schoonmaak) for offices, commercial spaces, and administrative buildings; one-time cleaning (Eénmalige schoonmaak) covering post-construction cleanup and carpet cleaning; and glass and facade cleaning (Glas- en gevelreiniging) using professional-grade materials and advanced facade-restoration techniques. Delivery is performed by local teams with an emphasis on continuity of personnel, flexible scheduling, and quick response times.

The business model is contract-based, with unit pricing per day, week, or month and monthly billing. Contracts typically carry three-month termination notice and may include early-termination penalties. Pricing incorporates labor, social charges, insurance, inspection, and material costs, while utilities and consumables (towels, soap, garbage bags) are client-borne. The company holds GDPR compliance commitments and a registered Alcyon trademark, and operates a website-led marketing channel without disclosed digital-product, app, or API offerings.
