MaidPro

Professional residential cleaning services.

After recounting his bad experiences with expensive, poor-quality cleaning services to a friend, Mark Kushinksy and Richard Sparacio opened MaidPro in 1991. Within a year, MaidPro expanded its offices and was soon voted the best maid service by Boston Magazine.

Franchising began in 1997 and there are now locations nationwide.

Cleaning franchise
If the idea of owning a residential cleaning service is beginning to sound like the right decision to you, you may now be wondering whether a cleaning franchise is the road to achieving your dreams. As with any franchise opportunity, owning a cleaning franchise means you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

By owning and operating a franchise, you gain the advantage of years of many other business owners' experience, are shown a clear and proven road map to success, have access to expert support, yet still retain control over your own business. Operating a cleaning franchise means you start up more quickly than if you were to start a cleaning business on your own. And, with a franchise you know you are working with a profitable model of operation, and have a 95% chance of success.

Franchise opportunity
Choosing which franchise opportunity is right for you requires that you invest time into careful research. Equally important is that you understand your own personal goals. Know what you want your lifestyle to look like, have a realistic picture of both your current and your ideal financial situation, and understand what strengths and weaknesses you will bring to your new business.

Create a list of the most important factors that you believe are critical in the right franchise opportunity for your personal goals. Be prepared to ask lots of questions to help you come to the right decision, including asking questions of current owners of whatever franchises you are considering.
