Overview
About
Franchisees operate residential and commercial cleaning services, managing teams of cleaners who perform house and office cleaning contracts. Day-to-day operations involve scheduling client appointments, managing staff payroll and quality control, handling customer service inquiries, and generating recurring revenue through monthly cleaning subscriptions and one-time deep-cleaning jobs.

Risk & Legal
Contracting franchise system with declining units, missing profitability disclosure, and active litigation creates meaningful uncertainty about unit economics and franchisor stability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 52 / 100 rating
- 01MEDUnit decline of 15.9% YoY indicates shrinking franchise system and potential market saturation or franchisee dissatisfaction
- 02MEDNo Item 19 (average net income) disclosed — cannot assess true profitability despite $399K average revenue, making ROI calculation impossible
- 03HIGHActive litigation against franchisee over non-compete enforcement suggests tension in franchisor-franchisee relationship and potential post-exit disputes
- 04MINORLow franchise fee ($6,999) relative to total investment range ($36K-$107K) indicates high ongoing costs or variable territory costs that may trap franchisees
- 05MEDDeclining unit count combined with undisclosed net income creates uncertainty about whether the business model is sustainable or profitable
