Description of franchise system

Cleaning for modern people

MOLLY MAID is widely recognized as the No.1 brand in the domestic cleaning market with almost unlimited potential for further growth. From counters to carpets and bathrooms to baseboards, our franchisees offer professional cleaning for the residential sector from locally operated MOLLY MAID outlets nationwide .

Since MOLLY MAID started its operation in 1979, we have been providing cleaning services to numerous satisfied customers all over Portugal, Japan, Canada, the USA, and the UK. In today's business world, women don't stay at home and clean, more and more are working outside and quality time at home is a precious commodity for most couples and families.

So too the dual income phenomenon is taking hold and there is a growing social acceptance to have someone else clean your home. Demand for our service is huge - that’s why MOLLY MAID now offers business opportunities for individuals who want to work hard, and build a sustainably successful business in a growing, recession-proof industry backed up by a widely established brand name.

Franchise concept

A business to fall in love with

Are you considering to start your own business, but understand that franchising is definitely the best way to achieve lasting security without all the traditional risks of business ownership? But how to find the one opportunity that's perfect for you? The best approach would be to choose a particular franchise category , and then select the business sector that suits you most.

MOLLY MAID is a ‘management’, white-collar franchise opportunity, which means that franchisees are managers who operate the business and employ a team that carries out all the cleaning. Our franchisees don’t do any cleaning themselves. A fully insured, highly trained, uniformed two people team will do the cleaning of your customers' homes. We will train you on how to train, recruit, manage, and motivate your staff.

Our unrivalled support from an experienced head office team is a big plus for  all franchisees. Our team will guide and help you to run and build a successful business. That's the winning formula – you’ll join our growing and supportive franchise network but still enjoy the freedom of business ownership. We will provide you with our expertise and experience in recruitment, marketing, training of your team, and retention.

You will also receive detailed support on every aspect of your business operation, including customer care, bookkeeping, administration, and route planning, to ensure you’ve got the right foundation for sustainable success. The initial investment for a MOLLY MAID franchise is moderate, but it can provide high returns. Our proven business systems reduce the risks, and our opportunity is characterized by a very high level of detailed support from our head office, and low overheads.
