Molly Maid - Franchise
Since 1984, Molly Maid® has provided a variety of residential and commercial cleaning services as a nationally recognized industry leader. Molly Maid franchise owners serve customers in more than 460 locations across North America. When it comes to starting a cleaning business, franchise owners looking to be their own boss have the support and resources to pursue their dream of business ownership in a growing industry.
In addition to our best-in-class services, Molly Maid is proud to fund and assist the Ms. Molly Foundation, which supports domestic violence agencies and shelters across the country. We’ve raised over $4 million dollars for this non-profit organization since 1996, and they continue to instill hope in local communities by supporting fundraising events and prevention programs.
Molly Maid is proud to be a part of Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services franchise with 19 brands and more than 5,000 locations focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. Utilizing decades of experience and scale through the Neighborly Hub, this multi-brand portfolio provides our franchise owners with distinct advantages like improved networking opportunities and customer referrals between brands in the same local market, ultimately creating value for franchise owners and customers alike.
The Neighborly Done Right Promise™ is a core component of putting customer service first by taking the stress out of home maintenance, having pride in the work that gets done, and promising to make things right. Additionally, the culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and Molly Maid franchise owners apart from the competition.
Why Franchise With Molly Maid?
No Industry Experience Required: By utilizing an executive ownership model where you make the decisions and manage your own business, you won’t need to hold a mop to be successful, especially after hiring an expert staff.
Recurring Revenue: So many people embrace the convenience of a reliable set-it-and-forget-it service like home cleaning, especially when life gets chaotic. In fact, 90% of Molly Maid services completed in 2022 were performed for recurring customers. This type of scheduled service can provide steady cash flow and take the guesswork out of scheduling.
Prime Territories: With available territories in some of the fastest-growing markets, there’s ample space and demand to establish your franchise. Better yet, thanks to designated territories, you’ll be able to collaborate and share best practices with other Molly Maid locations instead of compete for the same customers.
ProTradeNet® Buying Power: Exclusively available to Neighborly brand franchise owners, you’ll have access to discounts and rebates from over 250 preferred vendors. In 2023, Neighborly brand franchise owners who joined PTN collectively received over $8.7 million in rebates and $98 million in up-front savings.
Award-Winning Recognition: With more than 40 years of success, Molly Maid has been recognized by leading organizations within the franchising space, such as Entrepreneur Franchise 500®, Franchise Business Review Top 200, and Franchise Times Top 400®.
Veteran Discounts: We are proud to partner with VetFran and offer franchise fee discounts for qualified veterans. With more than 425 current Veteran owners across Neighborly brands, we’re committed to helping transitioning and current Veterans achieve their business goals.

I looked at several different opportunities and what really sold me with Molly Maid was how clear it was and how much of a well-defined system they had. Molly Maid was more transparent and I was able to talk to existing owners.Tim Rasner
I’m excited about the recent technology tools added to our CRM system that automate many of our functions so we can spend time on developing people and relationships.Katrina Keith
My favorite part of being a franchise owner is being my own boss.Kate Anstett
