Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Molly Maid's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

What it really costs
Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range
| Expense | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Initial franchise fee | $14,900 | $14,900 |
| Total initial investment | $144,150 | $203,950 |
Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.
Costs more to open than 68% of cleaning franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (84 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.
Earnings disclosure
Does the franchisor share performance data? No
This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against cleaning brands that do disclose one.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Molly Maid franchise cost?
Molly Maid's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $144K–$204K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $14,900, and is included in that range.
How many Molly Maid locations closed?

Averaged over three years, 5.0% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
