Description
Maid Brigade Residential Cleaning Franchise
Bonded, Secure, Reliable Professional Home Cleaning Services
A rare and extraordinary opportunity to own an “in-demand” residential service company in Silicon Valley, one of the most affluent areas of the entire United States. All the startup work and expenses have already been completed. All that’s needed is your leadership and innovative local marketing.
You have a stellar opportunity to own and operate a Maid Brigade franchise business with all the start-up groundwork already done for you. Unlike buying a new franchise territory, the customers, employees, market presence, and cash flow already exist – you can “hit the ground running.”
This is one of the most affluent areas of the United States on the San Francisco Peninsula. The territory extends from Burlingame and San Mateo in the north, through Redwood City, Atherton, Palo Alto, and Mountainview, to Cupertino in the south — Silicon Valley.
It includes these ZIP codes: 94002, 94010, 94022, 94024, 94025, 94027, 94028, 94040, 94041, 94061, 94062, 94063, 94065, 94070, 94085, 94086, 94087, 94301, 94303, 94304, 94305, 94306, 94401, 94402, 94403, 94404, 95014.
So, why buy a business with an existing franchise territory rather than a new franchise?
Because all the hard work and investment is already done for you. The office is established, vehicles and staff are engaged, and customers are generating positive cash flow; these things can take months or years to establish at a cost that could easily exceed $100,000.
What does this Maid Brigade office need to excel to the next level?
More focused owner attention and creative, innovative local marketing. The territory includes over 150,000 qualifying residences — this local office services about 100. The sky is the limit!
Start looking around at other franchise cleaning services and you'll notice: they all say (and do) pretty much the same thing. So, there's no clear-cut way to make a choice between them.
But not Maid Brigade. This is the only brand in the franchise cleaning services industry that has developed a distinct and meaningful unique selling proposition. That's because Maid Brigade conducts market research regularly to understand what consumers really want and hones our concept to meet that demand. Maid Brigade implements feedback from those that are in the day-to-day of the business — our franchise owners and our loyal customers.
Maid Brigade Cleaning Franchise is ranked a Top 100 Franchise by Entrepreneur. It ranked #44 out of the Top 500 Best Franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine in 2023.
Every Maid Brigade cleaning is performed by trained and bonded employees resulting in superb customer satisfaction. Maid Brigade, developed on sound principles of reliable customer service, has built a maid service consumers can trust.
There has never been a better time to own a Maid Brigade franchise. Demand for Maid Brigade's category of service is at an all-time high and increasing fast. And with the ability for the client to order services over the internet 24/7/365, Maid Brigade is the leading edge in the fastest growing segment of the historically stable home services industry.
Here are some of the other significant factors influencing positive trends for Maid Brigade:
~ All time-starved consumers are hungry for Maid Brigade services. Maid Brigade clients are principally working couples with adult children, although a fair number of busy single professionals and younger couples without children also seek outside help for home cleaning.
~ Residential cleaning service is the #1 service request by women.
~ The number of empty-nest households is growing. As these "middle age" households move into the 55-64 years age group, they will drive growth of many services, including domestic cleaning, in their age bracket.
~ Security issues related to bonded vs. non-bonded providers. All Maid Brigade service providers are bonded, a feature for which many are willing to pay more.
~ Tax implications for domestic help: "recent tightening of the policing of the laws regarding the employment of domestic help and non-payment of required Social Security taxes may prompt people to move more towards the professional cleaning services. It may also force many people who choose to make their living by cleaning other people's homes to go with a professional cleaning service instead of making a go of it on their own."
~ Each of these factors points favorably towards the growth of Maid Brigade cleaning franchises and makes Maid Brigade cleaning franchises attractive career opportunities for women and men who prudently follow economic and consumer trends.
History: Since 1979 Maid Brigade is the housework solution for people who have other things to do. Since 1979, millions of busy people like you have depended on Maid Brigade to help with cleaning their home. A well-trained Maid Brigade team can render a home spotless in about an hour.
With Maid Brigade, clients get the expertise, stability, and backing of an international organization coupled with the personal attention and customer service delivered by the local owner in their own hometown.
From any given Maid Brigade office, there may be anywhere from three or four professionally equipped and uniformed teams to a dozen of them, each one cleaning four to six homes a day, five days a week, at a nice profit.
Maid Brigade is an international residential cleaning company with locations throughout the the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. All locations are locally owned and operated. Franchisees are considered to be partners of the Maid Brigade organization.
Superior Technical Infrastructure. Maid Brigade has utilized proprietary software systems for over a decade, and the desire to remain innovative and efficient has led to ongoing updates to existing software, as well as the development of new software.
Maid Brigade was the first franchise organization to introduce a truly integrated online scheduling system. Currently, this feature is undergoing design updates and is expected to be available on our public website in Q2 of 2003. The same infrastructure that is used to drive online scheduling also assists our marketing efforts.
The technology is known as Instant Business, it works in conjunction with MicroMaid and a NEW Centralized Marketing Database. Without revealing too many secrets, we'll just say that Instant Business is the infrastructure for many great things to come. You'll only find this at Maid Brigade.
Successful women and men have made Maid Brigade the top cleaning services company. We value our employees and franchise owners for the contribution everyone makes to keep Maid Brigade the cleaning services company that leads at the cutting edge of innovation and customer service.

One avenue that has consistently shown promise and potential for budding entrepreneurs is the world of franchise businesses. Buying a franchise business offers individuals an opportunity to step into a proven business model, benefiting from an established brand, operational framework, and support.
Owners often ask agents to sell business offerings for them. It's usually more difficult than selling houses when working to find a buyer for a business, to satisfy contingencies and close escrow. Business sales intermediaries either agents or brokers may want large fees, but often are worth it.
There are a handful of key asset categories in allocating or breaking down the purchase price allocation of a business sale. The allocation is required to complete the transaction. Lee Petsas, a Southern California business broker reviews this topic in detail for buyers and sellers of businesses.
One of the most popular business searches (and eventual business purchase) on BizBen is the self serve and full service car wash. Peter Siegel, MBA (ProBuy & ProSell Programs Director) with BizBen.com reflects on three types of car wash models and what buyers should look for in a car wash purchase.
When selling and buying a business, it is almost always necessary to allocate the purchase price to various categories of assets for tax and accounting purposes, whether this is a transfer of all the assets of the business or an actual stock sale of the business entity. Broker Tim Cunha explains.
To start a business or try something new, starting a franchise business is a great option. In this blog, we'll break down everything you need to know about buying a franchise in simple, easy-to-understand terms. This guide is for business owners, whether experienced or new.

Buying a business is a big step for an entrepreneur to take. This is why utilizing the right business buying services is crucial as you go about your process. In this article, we will break down each service, what they are for, and why they are essential to your buying process.
Would you like to know what your business is worth? What's more, what it could be worth with a small amount of effort and investment? Business brokers have a variety of methods to determine value. Tim Cunha, JD a SF Bay Area Business Broker discusses his answers to this question about valuation.
If inventory is an asset of the small business, why is it treated differently from other assets in setting the business value and conducting the transaction? Tim Cunha, San Francisco Bay Area Business Broker explores this topic about how the inventory amount affects a business valuation.
In my opinion and experience, an LOI may very well be appropriate for lower middle market transactions of $5,000,000 or more; but, for deals less than that an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with contingencies on the actions of the buyer (and seller) is much more efficient and effective.
When selling your small business, you'll be bombarded with questions - from the brilliant to the ridiculous. You need to be prepared. Here are some of the key questions you can expect to be asked. Tim Cunha (SF Bay Area Business Broker) reviews many of these possible questions from potential buyers.
It is not uncommon for business Owner/Sellers to get uncomfortable when a potential Buyer requires a SBA loan to purchase the Seller's business. Often times Owner/Sellers will say "the Buyer is the one getting the loan; why am I the one under the microscope?" This blog post addresses this topic.
When seeking large SBA business acquisition financing loans, it helps to review seller's add backs (cash flow analysis) as a source of funding to service the debt. Peter Siegel, MBA - SBALoanAdvisors.com Founder covers this specific topic for business buyers, owner/sellers, agents, business brokers.
In my experience working with the "right banks and financial institutions" repayment ability sometimes overrules collateral pledged by someone needing financing for a business purchase or a down payment. Peter Siegel, MBA - BizBen's ProBuy, ProSell Lead Facilitator explores this important topic.
What are actual adjusted net earnings (cash flow) of a small business being purchased with business acquisition SBA Loan financing? That's an important amount that lenders need to know. Peter Siegel, MBA (BizBen.com, SBALoanAdvisors.com Founder) reviews this important concept with BizBen Blog users.
Trying to purchase a business with no money down is usually a waste of time if you want a good business. But leveraging into a business with a relatively small cash down payment can often be accomplished using some of these suggested strategies in this article on buying a business with limited cash.
The latest BizBen.com survey of Business Brokers and Agents outlined what it takes to be a top ten percent performer in the business brokerage industry. From good communication to utilizing your resources, these traits are something to take note of and put into practice to be successful.
Peter Siegel, MBA - BizBen.com & SBALoanAdvisors.com Founder discusses the difference between a hands on owner and an absentee owner. It covers why someone would want to be an absentee owner and then goes on to discuss the pros and cons of buying an absentee run small to mid-sized business.
Looking to buy a small business? There is good news regarding business purchase financing. More financial institutions are coming back into the market with business purchase financing. After years of being selective many lenders are more open to financing deals they would not have in the past years.
Despite challenges in the business for sale marketplace, some of the brokers who make a living by facilitating a deal between buyer and seller are known to stand in the way of a completed transaction because of some outdated ideas. Too bad they put greed ahead of the needs of their clients.
The idea to buy a business with seller financing is clearly understood by most people whose career move is to purchase their own company. But not everyone knows how to structure a deal with the seller carrying back part of the price. Be prepared for three situations when negotiating your purchase.
Most owners know that when choosing a broker to help sell your business, it's good to find out about his or her background and maybe get some references of people who've worked with the professional. Before signing a listing agreement, it helps to know these extra things about the business broker.
Ensuring your vehicle undergoes regular smog check services is not only a personal responsibility but also contributes significantly to environmental protection. Recognizing the importance of smog check services opens up potential business opportunities in the thriving smog check industry.
Venturing in the laundromat business can be a promising journey, offering entrepreneurs a stable and potentially profitable opportunity. Whether you're considering buying an existing laundromat or starting from scratch, this guide will unravel the various facets of the laundromat business.
Financing a business purchase has become more difficult in the past couple of years. But buyers and sellers of small and mid-sized businesses are finding other ways to raise the money needed to complete their transactions. Peter Siegel, MBA with BizBen discusses these ideas with BizBen Blog readers.
Selling or buying a small to mid-sized business is serious business so BizBen took a recent survey about three groups important to the process of buying/selling a business: small business owners/sellers, business buyers, and business brokers & agents.
While much of the negotiating for purchase of a small California business is conducted at arms length, meaning that the principal is not present when his or her offer or counteroffer is presented to the other party, there are times when buyer and seller find themselves at the same table, where they...

A business buyer asks about the viability and purchase of a home health care service and about the future of this industry - Peter Siegel, MBA takes on this question with other ProIntermediaries & Advisors on BizBen regarding the home health care industry and it's future for potential buyers.
I would like to start this discussion and see what other BizBen Users feel about (and possible contribute to this list via a comment and replies below) what items/questions/information buyers should be thinking about during the due diligence and buying process of manufacturing related businesses.
In our BizBen.com June 2021 Monthly Report the top ProIntermediaries and ProAdvisors on BizBen offer their thoughts about the current status of the business for sale marketplace with trends and predictions for Business Buyers, Owner/Sellers, Business Brokers, Agents, Advisors in the near future.
Sometimes business brokers just can't win with their clients, because if an offer comes in too fast & too early then they must have lowballed the price & the seller is suspicious, and if not enough offers come in after putting the business on the market - they may look unproductive to their clients.
As the year winds down, it's tempting for business brokers to go through their old files and throw them out to make room for new client's folders, but that would be foolish. Joe Ranieri (Orange County Business broker) discusses strategies for saving files - a key annual strategy for brokers/agents.
It's important to remember that selling a business takes time. Unlike selling a house, which can be sold relatively fast, a business can take up to six months to a year to sell. I discuss this topic with other advisors and intermediaries on this BizBen Discussion.
Just had a discussion with a owner/seller about non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality agreements when selling a business. Here was her question: "I am selling my business and I have heard I should have potential buyers sign a NDA. What items of information should I have on my NDA?"
Was just asked the question from a business owner what the "typical commission" amount is for a broker and if upfront fees are common? Thought this might be a great Discussion topic on BizBen for both business owner/sellers and potentially for business buyers (buyer representation).
