How Much Does It Cost to Become a MaidPro Franchisee, and How Much Can I Make?

MaidPro, the home-cleaning franchise backed by multi-brand home services franchisor Threshold Brands, has become a major player in the $30 billion residential cleaning industry thanks to a proven business model, franchisee-friendly support and affordable start-up costs. Now, as the pandemic-proof home services industry thrives and homeowners prioritize germ-free homes, MaidPro is leveraging the newfound support and resources of Threshold Brands to promote a year of significant franchise expansion.

For those qualified prospects interested in joining the brand, the total investment necessary to begin operation of a MaidPro business ranges from $94,560 - $119,800, which includes $35,000 to be paid to the franchisor.

“We have deliberately kept the initial investment for franchise owners as low as possible so that we don’t rule out otherwise qualified candidates simply because they don’t have the liquidity to invest,” said R. Scott Sutton, Threshold Brands’ chief growth officer.

This low initial investment covers everything a MaidPro franchisee needs to get their business off the ground, including access to a cloud-based management system, MaidPro University training program, marketing professionals, recruitment support and a national call center.

Additionally, MaidPro has simplified and operationalized its business model to make it as franchisee-friendly as possible. For example, the MaidPro franchise requires minimal marketing costs, allows for flexible team sizes and supplies, and does away with weekly royalty fees. Instead, owners only have to pay once a month in full.

This affordable and attractive business model allows MaidPro franchisees to tap into the evergreen demand for residential cleaning and enjoy the many benefits of the industry, including steady, recurring revenue, low inventory, free nights and weekends, low competitive risk and strong ROI potential.

According to the brand’s FDD, the average total monthly gross sales for the 239 MaidPro franchise locations open over 12 months in 2020 was $53,685.39. For the 54 franchisees who surpassed that average and had multiple locations open, the average total monthly gross sales was $83,954.38.*

All of these benefits explain why MaidPro is increasingly being recognized as a top choice in the franchise industry. MaidPro was recently recognized among the top 500 franchises in the world in Entrepreneur’s 43rd annual Franchise 500®, earning the No. 151 spot on the overall list. Additionally, MaidPro was ranked No. 51 among the Top Franchises for Veterans, No. 15 among the Best Franchises Under $100K, and No. 27 on Franchise Business Review’s Franchise Satisfaction rankings.

Now, with the recent backing of multi-brand parent company Threshold Brands, MaidPro franchise owners have access to a comprehensive suite of support services unparalleled in most franchise brands. Those services include dedicated operations, coaching and marketing teams, cutting-edge technology and, perhaps most importantly, a thriving network of franchise owners to share knowledge, best practices and, crucially, referrals.

“Our structure allows owners to grow laterally within our system, expanding their portfolio and revenue potential while benefiting from the ability to leverage existing relationships within their territory,” said Sutton. “This is a huge benefit that MaidPro offers over other franchise players in the industry.”

With this new infrastructure in place, MaidPro is preparing for widespread expansion in markets across the country, including Atlanta, Georgia; Washington D.C., and Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.
