Summaries from the brand background, customer materials, and dated FDD used for this episode.
The Maids’ disclosed franchise history dates to 1980. The concept is built around household cleaning delivered by organized local teams.
Customers can arrange regular cleaning or one-time projects. The service brings together scheduling, customer preferences, team coordination, and a consistent cleaning process.
An owner builds the local business through recruiting, customer relationships, and operational leadership. SMART Start, field training, software, and ongoing advice support the operating model; a trained manager may run the business.
The FDD’s Item 7 gives an estimated initial investment of $81,720 to $159,700 (single franchise territory). Vehicle down-payment or lease assumptions; three-month additional funds exclude owner compensation.
The revenue discussion covers October 2023 through September 2024: 90 reporting franchisees operating across 1,298 U.S. and Canadian territories. These are franchisee-level totals across different numbers of territories, rather than the sales of one territory. Figures are presented in U.S. dollars.
Reported revenue comes before the costs of running the business and is not owner profit. Historical results do not predict what a new owner will achieve. Use the current FDD to explore the expenses and operating assumptions relevant to your plans.
