Building a Future with the UK’s Leading Domestic Cleaning Company
MOLLY MAID is proud to be recognised as the leading brand in domestic cleaning in a £2 billion plus market with almost infinite possibilities for growth.
Since MOLLY MAID started in 1979, it has provided its cleaning services to hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers in Canada, USA, Portugal and Japan as well as the UK. This year alone over 400 MOLLY MAID franchises will perform in excess of 2 million home cleans worldwide.
Demand for the service has never been greater and that’s why we now have opportunities for people-orientated individuals who have a capacity for hard work and want to build a successful business of their own in a reliable industry backed by a brand name that is known and trusted all over the UK.
Today, more and more women work outside the home, and time is becoming a precious commodity. So too the dual income phenomenon is taking hold and there is a growing social acceptance to have someone else clean your home.
Says Imelda Courtney MOLLY MAID Franchise Owner since 1998, “What attracted me to MOLLY MAID was the amazing potential for growth. It is a very attractive proposition, built on very strong foundations and an easily recognisable brand.”
A Franchise You Can Manage
The MOLLY MAID service provides high quality reliable domestic cleaning operated by Franchise Owners who manage teams of maids within an exclusive area. Although some sales and management experience is an advantage, our franchise partners come from all walks of life. The qualities we look for are human attributes, such as common sense, ability to get on with people and a willingness to work hard. What our franchise partners have in common is the desire to follow our system and to succeed.
MOLLY MAID focuses purely on providing a professional domestic cleaning service and is a household name, so there is no hard sell involved.
“The MOLLY MAID management franchise fitted my criteria. I liked the brand and the image of the MOLLY MAID cars, and when I visited the company they came across as being very professional and, equally important, very trustworthy,” says Derek Ward, MOLLY MAID Franchise Owner, York & Harrogate.
Our Commitment to You and Your Future

"I was an area manager for the Royal Bank of Scotland with responsibility for 12 branches. Having worked in a huge corporation I felt that, if I was going into business on my own, I would be far more successful if I had the support of a good franchisor. I was also aware from my banking background that the business failure rate is considerably reduced when operating within a franchise network. I chose MOLLY MAID because their training, support and follow-up training were most impressive." - Clare Carter, Preston
"When undertaking research into possible business ventures, MOLLY MAID appealed to me the most. Setting up a business on your own can be quite daunting. MOLLY MAID has the most fantastic support system which offers answers to any problem you might have, and makes the difference between the failure and success of a business." - Paul O'Sullivan, Chester
"The MOLLY MAID operating system includes a well defined approach to customer care which embraces a consistent, reliable and professional service along with effective communications." - Sandra Redmond, Wimbledon
