Risk & Legal
MaidPro presents moderate-to-cautious risk due to missing profitability disclosure, stagnant unit reporting, recent franchisee litigation, and gross-based royalty structure that obscures true franchisee economics.
Score breakdown · what drove the 42 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo average net income disclosed in Item 19 — impossible to verify actual franchisee profitability against $109,860-$158,650 investment
- 02MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory — 237 units reported but no growth metrics; potential stagnation or contraction masked
- 03HIGHRecent litigation (March 2024) involving non-compete enforcement suggests franchisor-franchisee conflict and potential post-termination difficulties
- 04MINOR6% royalty on gross (not net) sales creates cash flow pressure during slow periods and misalignment with franchisee profitability
- 05MEDHigh franchise fee ($45,000) relative to service-based model with uncertain payback period given missing profitability data
