MOLLY MAID
An Opportunity That Hits Home
Molly Maid is in the business of helping people enjoy their lives. Our residential cleaning services afford our customers
valuable time to focus on what they want to do instead of what they have to do. And the recurring revenue model at the core of our business empowers our franchise owners to create the entrepreneurial lifestyle they’ve always dreamed of.

Executive Ownership Model
You’re in charge of your Molly Maid franchise. You manage your team of Home Service Professionals (HSPs), your clients and your back-end operations – without ever lifting a mop.
Built For Longevity
Many of our franchise owners have been in our system for 20+ years and now view their franchise as a continuous income stream that they’ve held well into retirement.
A Lifestyle That Sparkles
Just as our services create time for our customers to enjoy their lives, our simple model and family-friendly hours create a reasonable schedule for our franchise owners.
Take Charge of a Leading Home Cleaning Business
Home cleaning has proven itself a recession-resistant industry that won’t fall victim to automation. And as homeowners look to scrub chores from their schedules and balance their busy working lives, they increasingly outsource household obligations to home service companies like Molly Maid.

And when franchise owners choose Molly Maid, they get all the perks of our nationally recognized franchise system:

No Industry Experience Required
Molly Maid franchise owners come from a variety of backgrounds, but very few had any experience in home cleaning services before they began. What they do share are these key characteristics:
Business Acumen
Running a franchise requires skill, experience and knowledge related to the various facets of business – marketing, sales, management, administration, customer service, etc. You don’t have to be a proven expert in each category, but the more experience you have, the better.
Passion For Service
When you own a home services business, it’s crucial that you’re dedicated to the work of helping people find ways to improve their lives. At Molly Maid, we believe in building relationships, delivering exceptional service, and helping others find more time to focus on what they love – our franchise owners included.
