The Business Opportunity You've Been Waiting For: The Maids' Franchise

The residential cleaning industry is experiencing steady growth and there are plenty of opportunities to join in the ongoing success. If you’re looking for more control over your financial future by going into business for yourself, housekeeping and maid services could be the opportunity you’re looking for. The Maids’ franchise opportunity offers territories across North America that are prime markets for a successful house cleaning business. 

Residential cleaning services typically appeal to consumers with above-average income who want more free time, especially baby boomers. Baby Boomers have the financial resources to splurge on these types of services and they don’t mind spending it. Prime candidates for residential cleaning services are married couples over the age of 45 who often have college degrees and established careers. This demographic spends more than the other generations at a rate of $548.1 billion annually, a figure nearly $200 billion more than the next highest-spending generation.

Starting From Scratch vs. The Maids’ Franchise

Getting into the residential cleaning game is an endeavor that can be started with little capital and experience. Some cleaning supplies, a little business experience and a knack for marketing are often all you need to get started. While getting started is easy, sustaining a consistent flow of business, creating efficient and effective processes and providing superior customer service are elements of a successful cleaning business that can take years to perfect. 

The benefits of starting from scratch with a minimal investment include lower entry costs and complete control over your new business. As long as you have enough financial reserves, you can learn the ropes and build your business over time, but that growth can often take years until your cleaning business can sustain itself. 

Those same benefits can easily turn into liabilities without careful planning. That initial minimal investment can quickly turn into ongoing expenses you hadn’t counted on and that complete control can easily turn into a barrage of administrative work, revamping ineffective processes and putting out fires—leaving little time to focus on growing your business.

The alternative to going it alone is to invest in an established brand with proven processes, ongoing support and a multitude of resources. The Maids’ franchise opportunity offers all that and more.
