We have a leading customized software platform that integrates several solutions for the every day management of the business. An online scheduling for customers to book online is being rolled out. Our pricing model is very in depth, initiated from a proprietary algorithm.

Training & Support

The Maids will provide a pre-opening program (“SMART Start Set-Up”) to teach you about The Maids Business System and the operation of a The Maids Business. We will also coach you through the set up of your business. You will undergo a training and mentoring program, visit existing owners’ operations, and spend time out at the corporate office learning about The Maids system. Once you return from corporate training in Omaha, NE, we will provide additional post-training here in the New England region. The unique structure of having a Master Franchisee in New England provides that added layer of support. We act as a conduit between the owners in NE and the corporate office. Our owners enjoy the benefit of the constant contact with other owners who are closeby. Our corporate Marketing Department is a wealth of support as well when it comes to SEO, social media training, graphics and all your marketing needs.

History

The Maids was the very first franchised residential cleaning business, started in 1979. Our founder, Dan Bishop, used time and motion studies to develop the most efficient residential house cleaning system and was the first to launch a team-cleaning concept. Our dedication to innovation continues to increase quality, efficiency and profitability for our franchise owners. Our recent partnership with P&G and Mr. Clean is a perfect example. We are the exclusive partner of Mr. Clean and the Magic Eraser (which if you have not tried, is an absolute MUST). Our team driven systematic approach to cleaning puts us in a leadership position when it comes to hiring a service to clean your home. We were founded in Omaha, NE and are still there today.

Ideal Candidate

  • Someone looking to own their future
  • Someone who values having their nights and weekends free
  • Someone who wants recurring cash flow in a business
  • Someone who takes a systematic approach to their business
  • Someone who understands you are not buying this business to clean homes yourself, but to hire people who do that! (It’s amazing how many folks don’t catch this!)
  • Someone who wants to build and nurture a team environment
  • Someone with strong management and people skills
  • Someone with entrepreneurial spirit!
