Maid franchises are an excellent opportunity for both new and veteran entrepreneurs. With a relatively low initial investment and a high demand for services, owning a maid franchise is a smart choice for many potential business owners.
Why Maids Are In Demand
Full-time workers have less time to clean their home. In many households, both partners work full-time jobs. In fact, some people even work multiple jobs. By day’s end, it is unlikely that they will have either the time or the energy to devote to making their house clean and presentable.
Many adults have additional responsibilities. Whether it is caring for their children or an elderly family member, the fact is that now more than ever, homeowners not only have to maintain full-time employment, but they also need to take children to a plethora of after-school activities or take elderly parents to doctor appointments. All of these additional stressors leave very little time to clean and organize the house.
Advantages to Owning a Maid Franchise
Maids are in high demand. The maid and personal service industry has recently experienced rapid job growth, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The growth of the industry is directly tied to a growing need for these services, so you can feel confident that your business will continue to be in demand.
Cleaning businesses are recession resistant. Even in more difficult economic climates, there will always be a need for maid and cleaning services.
Franchise brand names carry significant weight. Homeowners are going to be selective of the people that they allow into their home to clean it, and it can be difficult to get started if no one knows your name. However, the brand power of a well-known franchise is not to be underestimated. Some clients may feel more assurance if the maids that they hire are working for a well-respected brand.
Most maid services operate during regular work hours. If you want to work a regular Monday through Friday schedule and finish your work day before dinner time, a maid franchise may be a good option for you compared to other franchises.
The majority of customers are repeat customers. As much as 90 percent of your customers are likely to be repeat customers, which gives your employees a steady workload from week to week. In addition, that also means that you will have a reliable and consistent source of income.
Be your own boss. If you’ve ever struggled with accepting orders from your superiors at work, then owning your own business will be like a breath of fresh air. You’ll get to make all of the most important decisions related to your business.
Receive training and support. While you may enjoy the notion of being your own boss, it doesn’t mean that you will be without support. Most maid businesses provide training for their franchisees, as well as ongoing support whenever the business owner has questions or concerns.
