Merry Maids
Business Overview
This is a rare chance to acquire a thriving Merry Maids franchise that has been delivering high-quality home cleaning services for over twenty years. Established from scratch by the current owner, the business enjoys an excellent reputation, a strong base of long-term regular customers, and consistent demand for one-off specialist cleans. The owner is now looking to fully retire, and with an experienced management team already in place, the business runs smoothly with minimal day-to-day input. This offers flexibility for a buyer to be hands-on, take a part-time role, or operate the business as a pure investment. Financially robust, debt-free and cashflow positive, the business benefits from the support and brand recognition of Merry Maids, one of the UK’s most trusted names in domestic cleaning for over 35 years. The sale includes all equipment, systems, and training to ensure a seamless transition. This is an ideal opportunity to take on a profitable, well-established operation in a sector with strong growth and long-term stability.
