Why Choose Merry Maids?
We understand that it can be difficult when choosing a franchisor to work with. You may have already chosen an industry, a trade or a solution and be looking for a franchisor for a ‘best fit’. Interestingly, many of our franchisees didn’t actually choose domestic cleaning before their franchise journey, they chose us as a franchisor to work with.
We like to fill our prospective business owners with confidence when making this decision as ServiceMaster have been franchising for almost 60 years and have over 700 franchised units across the UK operating under 5 fantastic brands. We are full bfa members and are proud to follow the code of ethics set by the British Franchise Association.
