Molly Maid Franchise Model Overview

Molly Maid franchisees run a recurring residential cleaning business, dispatching uniformed teams in marked vehicles to clean homes on weekly, biweekly or monthly schedules inside a ZIP-code territory sized by target households. The system began in Canada in 1979, has operated in the United States since 1984, and sits inside Neighborly, the KKR-controlled home-services platform that supplies its technology and support. The investment is low-six figures: initial and territory fees are the largest line, followed by working capital, two vehicles, a modest leased office and a startup package. Royalties are a tiered license fee that rises with sales, plus a 2 percent marketing fund and a per-household local marketing spend. The owner, or a trained manager with consent, must directly supervise the business. The franchised base has declined about 16 units a year for three years, with 13 to 20 transfers annually. Buyers of an existing franchise pay a flat transfer fee and transfer package rather than the initial fees.

Ideal owner profile

Hands-on owner or approved trained manager who supervises daily team dispatch and quality
Strong at hiring, training and retaining hourly cleaning staff with steady turnover
Low-six-figure capital with reserves for a three-month ramp and two branded vehicles
Comfortable with recurring-service scheduling, route density and customer retention metrics
Existing operators and multi-territory owners get waived initial fees and territory discounts
