Your Future Starts Here
You're thinking of starting your own business; franchising appears to offer the best chance of achieving long-term security with minimal risk; but how do you navigate through the array of opportunities to find the one that's right for you? A logical approach is to start by selecting a particular category of franchise; then focus on the business sector that appeals to you.MOLLY MAID Offers a "management franchise" which means that our franchise owners employ people to provide our domestic maid service, which operates within a secure business sector with high growth potential.
The Unique Opportunity
You'll see on further investigation that the franchise is an affordable investment that can yield high returns. It's built upon a proven system that reduces risks in starting a business and is characterised by a modest initial investment, low overheads, good cash flow and a high level of support from the franchisor.
Our franchise owners are granted a license to operate the service within a protected territory, using a system that was established when MOLLY MAID was founded in 1978, and which has been proven, enhanced and refined over the years in Canada, the USA and Japan as well as the UK. Before awarding a franchise, we use market research data to define a franchise territory with the required volume of potential business.
To help keep your operating costs as low as possible, you can run your business from home until it grows to the point when you may wish to delegate managerial tasks to an assistant and establish an office at another site.
Training and Support
You're Never on Your Own
With MOLLY MAID, you make the decisions within a proven framework that takes away many of the risks of being your own boss and leaves you with the rewards.
We provide a high level of support for the life of the franchise. This is designed to help franchise owners achieve business growth, exploit the full potential of their territory - and make profits. It starts with the initial training and runs through support within the franchise in the early days, to the provision of information, advice and guidance as required on a continuing basis. It embraces all aspects of our operating system and all other relevant business areas.
Our support service includes periodic visits by professional Business Advisors at our expense, telephone help lines, periodic reports on the progress of the business, and a range of incentives designed to encourage and facilitate the growth and development of individual franchise owners.
The initial training, on the operating system, includes marketing and sales; customer service and care; staff recruitment, motivation and training; accounting and taxation. As the training programme draws to a close, we launch a mail shot and place advertisements for staff to get your business off to a good start

In addition to long-term security, you'll have the satisfaction of being your own boss - and the sense of achievement that comes from building a successful business.

Who's Ideal for Us
When considering various franchise opportunities, a little self-analysis will help you weigh up a franchise in relation to your personality and experience.
MOLLY MAID franchise owners come from all walks of life; some run their businesses unaided, whilst others share the management role with husbands and wives. We've found that a sales background can be an advantage, but the strength of the MOLLY MAID brand avoids the need for "hard sell". We believe that previous business experience is less important than a capacity for hard work and determination to succeed.
We don't require evidence of professional qualifications or academic achievement. The characteristics we look for are intelligence, competence, common sense and a positive approach to learning, applying and sticking to the MOLLY MAID system. It also helps if you’re able to apply a sensitive approach to management, based upon an ability to relate well to both customers and employees. It's worth noting too that a MOLLY MAID franchise is a full-time commitment requiring a great amount of effort and a lot of energy.
