THE MAIDS

The Maids franchise provides efficient household maintenance and cleaning services using team-based cleaning for residential customers who lack the time or desire to clean their homes regularly. Franchisees operate within prescribed territories, are responsible for locating customer accounts, and must purchase or lease vehicles for maid teams. The business model centers on franchising these rights while also operating company-owned territories, targeting busy homeowners in both developed and emerging markets for cleaning services.
