With low initial investment requirements and strong returns, MaidPro makes for a reliable investment within the home cleaning franchise market.“MaidPro’s initial investment is relatively low compared to other cleaning franchises,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-manchester3?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tom Manchester</a>, President of MaidPro. “This decreased barrier to entry is intentional; we’ve worked to keep the initial investment amount as low as possible to not count out qualified entrepreneurs.”&nbsp;Because the industry remains quite fruitful, he explained, there is an automatic competitive advantage to owning a MaidPro business.<h4>Why Should Franchisees Consider the Home Cleaning Market?</h4>The residential cleaning service franchise industry was valued at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/residential-cleaning-service-franchises-united-states/">$1.2 billion in 2022</a> and has grown, on average, 2.7% every year between 2017 and 2022.&nbsp;As shelter-in-place orders and increased remote work models forced homeowners indoors, many became more aware of the clutter within their spaces and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchisehelp.com/industry-reports/cleaning-industry-analysis-2020-cost-trends/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739#:~:text=More%20than%201.7%20million%20people,make%20up%2027%25%20in%20America." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">showed an increased interest</a> in tidying up. However, over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181113006110/en/Survey-Results-Americans-Spend-Hours-Week-Cleaning?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739#:~:text=ACI's%20latest%20National%20Cleaning%20Survey,on%20average%20cleaning%20their%20homes." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">one third of people</a> are uncertain whether they are cleaning enough, and just over 30% are unsure if they are cleaning correctly.&nbsp;Because of this, many households are hiring cleaning professionals; over&nbsp;<a href="https://datausa.io/profile/soc/maids-housekeeping-cleaners?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739#growth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">1.5 million maids and housekeeping cleaners</a> are expected to be employed by 2026. As the market continues to grow, home cleaning franchises prove to provide steady, predictable investment opportunities for franchisees. Due to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/why-home-cleaning?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nature of the work</a>, franchisees can expect to build a steady client base that requires service on a set schedule. Consistent client interaction allows for relationship and loyalty development, and the true service provided by home cleaning professionals – extra time for homeowners – is always in demand.<h4>What Does It Take To Invest in a Maidpro Brand?&nbsp;</h4>The total investment necessary to begin operation of a MaidPro business ranges from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/cost-comparison?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$94,560 to $119,800</a>, which includes $35,000 to be paid to the franchisor.Much of the initial investment is not paid directly to MaidPro but is rather used to support a new franchisee’s needs, including equipment, print materials, travel to MaidPro headquarters, set-up advertising and more.Potential franchise owners are able to fund this initial investment with cash, a 401k rollover, and/or a business loan.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-collier-868b042a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bill</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marilyn-collier-30648b27/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Marilyn Collier</a>, MaidPro franchise owners, said, “We invested some of our retirement savings and felt with the help of the MaidPro team, we could succeed.”<h4>MaidPro’s Lower Investment Requirements Create a Competitive Advantage&nbsp;</h4><a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/cost-comparison?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Compared to other cleaning franchises</a>, MaidPro is more affordable throughout the entire process. The franchise fee can be up to $30,000 less than other franchises, and MaidPro equipment typically costs between $5,650 and $7,650, while other cleaning franchises require $10,000 for equipment. In addition, MaidPro royalty fees range from 4–7% while other cleaning franchises charge a flat rate of 7%.This affordability, however, does not make returns any less remarkable.According to the brand’s FDD, the average annual gross sales for MaidPro franchisees who own one territory was $489,433 in 2021. For the franchisees who own two territories, the average annual gross sales was&nbsp;$744,893.*&nbsp;*&nbsp;<h4>What Makes MaidPro Stand Out?</h4>For many prospective franchisees, the barrier to entry can be intimidating or feel out of reach.&nbsp;“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&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rscottsutton/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=maidpros-franchise-business-model-creates-competitive-advantage-for-franchisees-2718739" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">R.
