NEAT Method - Franchise
NEAT Method: The Business You've Always Pictured
You've led departments, board meetings, households and every crisis in between. You've never needed a manager to tell you to get to work. You see the finished version before anyone else in the room does, then build the system that gets you there. Now it's time to build it for yourself.
Make your mark
You don't want to shrink your ambition to fit someone else's calendar. You want something unmistakably yours: real revenue, a team you hired and a brand you're proud to put your name behind. Fully in charge of something big, and fully present for the moments that matter.
NEAT Method brings the elevated brand, the proven system and the national spotlight. You bring the vision, the drive and the judgment you've spent a career sharpening.
Your calendar. Your team. Your market. A business built on a system rooted in something real.
Two women who saw what was missing
In 2011, Ashley Murphy and Marissa Hagmeyer launched NEAT in San Francisco with a simple, slightly radical idea: families shouldn't have to give up their weekends to get organized. A professional team handles the whole transformation and leaves behind a home that is beautiful, functional and built to last. They treated organizing as part of a home's design, not an afterthought, and helped make that the industry standard. Fifteen years later, the system they built is the foundation you build on.
Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
2011 | Founded in San Francisco |
2012 | Expands to Chicago, proving the model works in any market |
2017 | Reaches 20 locations; franchising officially begins; company sold to Whitmor |
2023 | Ashley and Marissa buy the company back |
2025 | Inc. names Ashley and Marissa to its Female Founders 500 list; The NEAT Method Organizing Recipe Book published by Hachette |
As Ashley put it after Chicago: "This wasn't just a local need – it was universal."
A name clients already know
With 94 locations, more than 100 owners and 15 years of proven systems behind it, NEAT arrives in your market as the organizing brand clients already seek out. You start with credibility, not a cold introduction.
- Good Morning America: Ashley Murphy showed viewers how to organize "the pantry of your dreams in just one day"
- The TODAY Show: four segments on kitchens, garages, bathrooms and favorite products
- Featured in: Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Real Simple, Apartment Therapy, The Spruce, HGTV, The Washington Post and Food52

You don't start from scratch. You start from proven.
You've led teams. Now lead your own. The playbooks, training and marketing are already built, so your experience goes straight into growth:
- Training: an 8-week training program comprised of virtual and in-person sessions before launch, a national summit every other year and regional in-person training in the off years
- Support: a dedicated regional director and a network of 100 owners, peers who have already solved the problems you'll run into
- Systems: proven operations playbooks and a proprietary client-management system
- Marketing: national campaigns from headquarters, a library of custom templates and your own local Instagram account (like @vabeachneat and @parkcityneat), so the national brand shows up in your local feed

The support that NEAT has given me in starting and growing my franchise business has been incredible. The training that they provide at the corporate level has been from day one. You get trained in everything from how to start the business – literally how to set up the LLC – how to get a client, how to do the actual organizing process and it doesn't stop there.Meg Garcia
The most impactful resource for me is having the support of my Regional Director. She is available to me whenever I need her. I will shoot her a text or an email and even if she doesn't have an answer for me she will immediately respond. Just knowing you have the one person in that corner – I find that that support is the number one thing that really keeps me going.Lauren Rosenthal
After running my own organizing business for several years, transitioning to the NEAT Method franchise was a game-changer. The comprehensive training and resources provided by NEAT Method allowed me to refine my skills and expand my services with confidence. The supportive network of fellow franchisees offered invaluable knowledge and collaboration that I hadn't experienced as an independent organizer. Joining NEAT Method elevated the quality of service I provide, increased my client base, and streamlined my business operations. If you're considering a change, I highly recommend the NEAT Method franchise for its perfect blend of independence and support.Lara Duffy
Purchasing the NEAT Method franchise was a pivotal decision after owning an independent organizing business for 4 years. Having the foundation and systems already in place lifted a weight and allowed me to focus on serving my clients and investing in the growth of my team. With the ongoing support of corporate and the collective wisdom of 100 fellow franchise owners, I'm never facing challenges alone. That sense of support and shared experience has brought clarity, confidence, and sustainability to my business in a way I hadn't experienced before.Becoming a NEAT Method franchise owner gave me the structure and support I needed to run a successful business while being present for my two toddlers. Because the foundation, systems, and resources were already in place, I'm able to focus on my clients and team without sacrificing time with my family. Having corporate support and a network of over 100 franchise owners means I'm never navigating challenges alone. It's allowed me to grow a business that supports my life as a mom, not compete with it.Raychel Klein
I am so glad I clicked on the franchise opportunity email last July and took the leap of faith to actually buy the NEAT Houston franchise! Becoming a NEAT Method owner completely transformed my business. What started as a small professional organizing company has grown into a thriving business with incredible support from a corporate team that truly wants me to succeed. Having access to proven systems, resources, and a network of like-minded owners has helped me grow both personally and professionally. Since joining NEAT Method, my business has increased considerably, and I've gained the confidence and support to scale in ways I never could have done alone.Danielle Moore
