Frequently Asked Questions
We
rest our case as you are now in a position to
see that your investment in Maid2Clean is not
only a sound one, it's the best on the market.
For your interest, we have printed the most
commonly asked questions by franchisees to date.
Is your franchise based on
any franchise standard like the British
Franchise Association?
We
have developed our franchise based on the
European code of Ethics for Franchising and the
British Franchise Association Code of Ethical
Conduct and are committed to these standards.
Are you members of any other
professional bodies.
Yes.
Maid2Clean is a corporate member of the British
Institute of Cleaning Services and the Chamber
of British Enterprises, a Member of the
Federation of Small businesses and a
proud member of the British Franchise
Association.
Cleaning is not very high
profile business activity is it? Why should I
choose a domestic cleaning franchise?
Remember you are not doing
the cleaning yourself. You are managing workers,
clients, suppliers and customers like any other
business. The main difference between this
business and 95% of other businesses (or even
franchises for that matter) is that this
business builds a solid, ongoing residual
income. Sadly, 95% of other businesses and
franchises operate on the ‘shop’ type
methodology where they have to work just as hard
the next month to earn what they earned last
month. With Maid2Clean your efforts of this
month are added to your last month’s income as
your revenue ‘snowballs’ each month.
How much will it cost me to
become a Maid2Clean franchisee?
Please refer to Head office for this
information.
Is there really a big demand
for this service?
The demand for this service
always out-strips supply and this trend is
forecasted to continue indefinitely.
How profitable is this
business?
The Maid2Clean operation is
incredibly profitable in comparison to cleaning
businesses or other businesses of this type. You
should be prepared to make a small profit in
year one (most companies don’t even break-even).
You will be shown how to operate this business
competently during your training period and this
is covered in great detail on our operations
manual.
Where does Maid2Clean see
itself in the future?
Maid2Clean sees itself as
being the leading domestic services franchisor
in the UK by 2015 and Europe by 2020.
What type of person can
become a Maid2Clean Franchisee?
Individuals or couples that are self-starters
and motivated enough into growing their own
business and future financial security are ideal
Maid2Clean franchisees. They should be ready to
be committed into working the Maid2Clean® proven
business plan and their hard work will soon be
rewarded.
How do we agree an exclusive
Maid2Clean trading area?
We have a number of selected
trading territories containing ABC1 class houses
available. These will be discussed with you when
you visit our head-office.
How detailed is the
operations Manual? Can I see it?
The Operations Manual goes
into great detail (350+ pages) regarding the
running of a Maid2Clean Franchise. You are
welcome to see the manual when you visit our
Head Office
What running costs will be
involved?
All the running costs of the
franchise are covered in the franchise
prospectus. If you have any pressing questions
right now, please call us.
How much training is needed?
How often will I receive training?
This
very much depends on the individual concerned.
The 3-5 days training is offered in the first
instance alongside refresher courses during the
year. You will be given as much training as you
need to become competent and confident in
running your own operation.
What training will the
Maid2Clean franchise provide?
When your contract is
returned and payment cleared, the Franchise
Welcome Pack & operational manual etc. is issued
to you in advance of the training. The business
training is in 4 parts namely:
1. Pre-reading of the
operations manual & completion of the 27

advertising, targeting of clients, obtaining
clients, closing clients, managing client &
worker database, actual interviewing of workers,
managing your accounts, general billing,
expediting, filing & administration. Refresher
courses are available to all franchisees & based
on a one-days training and you can attend as
many of these as you wish.
2. Visit to Operations

What will I need to do?
This
depends on the franchise package that you
select. Look at the diagram below to get a
better understanding of the work required.
What happens if
I delay in deciding my future?
Well Maid2Clean's success
will not wait as the momentum is too strong.
100+ franchisees have proved this already. If
you delay too long in making a decision
regarding your future with Maid2Clean your
territory will become betrothed to another and
lost forever. Now is your time. Take action.
What type of
Franchisees are Maid2Clean looking for?
We are looking for either
individuals, married couples or civil
partnerships to become franchisees. As a
Maid2Clean franchisee you will join the premier
domestic cleaning company in the country. Come
and see the operation for yourself. Please ask
whether a territory is available before you come
to see us.
We will ask you to complete a
personal profile document where you will share
your skills and attributes with us. This is an
informal meeting. You will not be asked to sign
anything on the day except a standard
non-disclosure document. Following our meeting
you will then be given the chance to talk to
franchisees before we mutually decide if
Maid2Clean is for you.
