The Cleaning Authority Franchise Model Overview

The Cleaning Authority franchises provide recurring residential house cleaning, similar to a maid service, with the option to add carpet, window and light commercial cleaning. Each franchise is a protected territory of roughly 30,000 to 60,000 target households, operated from a modest 700 to 1,200 square foot office that serves as the crew home base and supply storage. The investment is light for a staffed service business; the largest items are the initial fee, three months of working capital and a sizable upfront local marketing commitment, and customer calls route through a franchisor call center billed per call. A Key Person owning at least 10 percent must complete training and work from the office; the franchisor assumes the owner works full time or budgets for a manager. The brand sits inside Authority Brands, a private-equity-backed home services platform. The system is almost entirely franchised and growing steadily, with five to thirteen territory transfers a year.

Ideal owner profile

Hands-on owner or an owner with a funded full-time manager working from the office
Comfortable hiring, scheduling and retaining hourly cleaning teams
Willing to fund a substantial local marketing budget to build recurring customers
Systems-oriented operator who will use the franchisor's software and call center
Low-six-figure capital; existing franchisees of affiliate brands get fee discounts
