BETTER LIFE MAIDS IS ABOUT MAKING YOUR LIFE BETTER, GREENER, & CLEANER

We stated the company in our hometown of St Louis, MO because we wanted to make our home and the world around us a safer place for our children. Mostly motivated by the potential toxic impact of using chemical based cleaners, we also realized that many of the house cleaning products in our home were actually leaving a toxic film, after we were done "Cleaning".  Not only that, those same products created real risks to the health of our children, just by being in the house! Every day we are confronted with choices. We made the choice to start Better Life Maids to help share what we had learned about cleaning green in our own home. We realize that deciding to go green in your home can take on many shades, but choosing to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals is a small step in the right direction, and your health and the health of your loved ones can easily be protected with a few easy changes.

So, take a look for yourself and see if you don’t agree that at Better Life Maids we do everything BETTER. We share the same passion for franchisee success that we do in perfecting the world’s best cleaning processes and we invite you to fully consider whether owing a Better Life Maids franchisee isn’t also the best way to make your life BETTER.

Why Cleaning – Why Now?   Above all else, the decision to enter a franchise industry is largely dependent on one thing. Growth. Without it, even the most passionate of ambitions will not reach their full potential. Fact is, while we grew in our commitment to make our and our clients’ homes safer, we were comforted to know that the benefits and efforts of our work would be returned to us in business growth. Furthermore, as our desire to develop the greenest techniques grew, so did the demand. Now, Better Life Maids is poised to not only ride the demand curve for more Maid Services, but we benefit by being among the leaders in the green segment. Looking ahead, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall demand for household cleaning services is expected to grow at an annual rate of 7%. Additionally, other residential cleaning services, such as carpet cleaning are also expect to maintain a similar annual increase in demand. All in all, we are expected to see the residential cleaning market balloon to over 14 Billion (yes, with a “b”), by the year 2014.

Further, with the continuing increase in the number of families who have both adults working full-time, services such as house cleaning are no longer considered a luxury. Simply put, working adults do not have the time, nor the willingness to spend their limited time off on tasks such as cleaning house. Lastly, with empty nest households on the rise, we find our market ripe with clients that are at their peak service hiring years.

Going Green(er)

Going green is at the heart of our core business values, and coincidentally at the core of the change occurring in the cleaning industry. With our services offerings focused clearly on “greening up the market”, we are poised to gain a competitive share of the expected growth. Further, by sharing an alliance with the leading producer of green cleaning products, Better Life, there is little the “other guys” can offer besides a bit of imitation.

Making Green While We Clean We started Better Life Maids to make the lives of our family members BETTER. We started the Better Life Maids Franchise System to make our Franchisees lives BETTER. That said, we empowered Matt Ricketts, our President and former Commercial Pilot, to enlist the country’s best franchise development experts and craft a system with the level of precision that he was accustomed to in the Aircraft Cockpit. He spared no expense and painstakingly analyzed each and every business process to create an operations and marketing system that any franchisee can execute quickly, affordably and with the knowledge than we provide during the Better Life Maids Franchisee Training Program. We believe that our franchise offers investors with an opportunity to enter a market that is mature, yet still shows evidence of generous growth. One that, with a bit of motivation and hard work can produce favorable returns, all while offering our franchisees complete control over their job security and financial future.

Lastly, the cleaning business offers advantages rarely available for the typical “business” owner. They include:

Low start up costs
Little inventory costs
No bad debt (clients pay cash at the time of service)
Low staffing and labor costs
Minimal cleaning equipment costs (just a 4 Stage HEPA Vacuum)
Increasing internet lead flow
Repeat customers
Predictable revenues
Low office / facility overhead
and…NO WEEKENDS – finally a true lifestyle business.

So, with these benefits, a value-based franchise fee of only $14,500 and the assurance that our Staff is at hand to help you grow and manage your Better Life Maids business, there is every reason to consider our opportunity now. We know from experience what it takes to grow a world class cleaning business and we are confident we can help you do the same.
