What you get
Everything you need to run a busy local cleaning business
Your own postcodes
An exclusive territory of postcode districts anywhere in the UK. Nobody else in the Cosy Maids network can take work there.
Bookings routed to you
Customers book and pay on our website. Every booking, quote and enquiry from your postcodes lands in your CRM with an email alert.
Paid straight to you
Connect your own Stripe account and card payments and deposits from your customers go straight into your bank, not ours.

Your cleaners accept jobs, get tomorrow’s list at 6pm and upload before-and-after photos from their phone.
A brand people trust
Fixed online prices, a 72-hour re-clean promise, uniformed teams and local pages built for search.
Why home cleaning makes a strong franchise
Cleaning is a service people need all year round. Tenants move out and in, landlords prepare properties between lets, busy households want regular help, and offices and short-let hosts need reliable cleaning on a schedule. That mix gives you several types of customer and a balance of one-off and repeat work.
It is also a business you can grow step by step. You start with the services that suit your area, then build your team of cleaners as bookings increase. Because customers book and pay online, much of the admin that slows small cleaning businesses down is already handled by the system, leaving you free to focus on customers, quality and your team.
What you get
- The Cosy Maids brand, with a clear service range and a fixed-price model customers understand
- Your place on our website, with local area pages for your territory
- Online booking and payments, with customer payments going straight into your own Stripe account
- A CRM and team app to manage bookings, customers, cleaners and schedules
- Training on our service checklists, our systems and running the business
- Launch support to help you win your first customers and build your team
- National marketing that builds the brand your customers search for
Your exclusive postcode territory
Each franchise is granted an exclusive territory made up of agreed postcode districts, anywhere in the UK outside our head office area. Bookings from customers in your postcodes come to you, and no other Cosy Maids franchise can trade there.
We look at the territory with you before you commit, so you can see the homes, rentals and businesses in it and choose an area you know and want to build in.
Who we are looking for
You do not need a background in cleaning, because we train you on our checklists and systems. What matters more is:
- Good people skills, with customers and with the cleaners you will lead
- Pride in doing things properly and keeping standards high
- Local drive: you know your area and want to build something there
- Organisation, and confidence using apps and online tools
- The time and funds to launch and grow the business
How the money works
Customers pay through the booking system straight into your own Stripe account, so you keep your takings. In return for the brand, systems and support, you pay a royalty of 8% and a marketing fund contribution of 2%, both calculated on completed jobs. There may also be an optional monthly fee for additional services. The initial investment is from £9,950 + VAT.
All figures are confirmed in the franchise agreement. We do not make earnings promises or publish example incomes, because results depend on your territory, how you run the business and the effort you put in.
The steps to joining
- Apply online with a few details about you and the area you are interested in.
- Discovery call to talk through the model, your goals and your questions.
- Information pack and territory check, so you can see the full detail and the postcodes available.
- Meet head office to get to know the team and see how the systems work day to day.
- Franchise agreement. We recommend you take independent legal advice before signing.
- Training and launch, setting up your territory, systems and first bookings.
Ongoing support and standards
Once you are up and running, head office continues to support you with systems, marketing and advice. Every franchise works to the same checklists and the same 72-hour re-clean promise, so customers get the same experience wherever they book.
A franchise scorecard tracks what matters most, such as service quality and customer feedback, and regular quality checks keep standards consistent across the network. If something slips, we work with you to put it right.
Territories and timelines
Any part of the UK outside our head office area may be available, subject to the territory check. If your preferred postcodes are already taken, we will show you what is available nearby.
The time from application to launch depends on your circumstances, how quickly you move through each step and the time you need for legal advice. We will talk through a realistic plan with you during the discovery call.
Fees
Clear fees, no surprises
Ongoing fees are charged only on jobs you complete, shown line by line on your monthly statement and collected by Direct Debit.
Figures are confirmed in the franchise agreement. Please take independent legal and financial advice before you sign.
Your team, in our uniform
Every franchise works to the same checklists, standards and look, so customers get the same Cosy Maids clean wherever they are.
FAQ
Franchise questions
Anything else? Ask in your application.
Do I need cleaning experience?
No. Many good franchise partners come from customer service, management, sales or running a small business. We train you on our service checklists, booking system, CRM and team app, and on how to recruit and lead cleaners. What you bring is people skills, organisation and a real drive to build a trusted local business in your area, with high standards from day one.
Do I have to do the cleaning myself?
That is up to you. Some partners clean in the early days while bookings build up, while others focus on running the business from the start: winning customers, recruiting and managing cleaners, and checking quality. Either way, every job must be carried out to our checklists and standards, and every cleaner must be vetted before working under the Cosy Maids name.
How is my territory decided?
Your territory is made up of agreed postcode districts. During the territory check we look at the area with you, including the homes, rentals and businesses in it, so you can make an informed choice. Once your agreement is signed, the territory is exclusive to you. The exact postcodes are listed in your franchise agreement, so there is no doubt about where you can trade.
How do I get paid?
Customers book and pay through the Cosy Maids system, and their payments go straight into your own Stripe account. You keep your takings. Royalty and marketing fund contributions are calculated as a percentage of completed jobs, at 8% and 2% respectively, with full details confirmed in your franchise agreement. Your CRM shows your bookings and completed jobs, so you can keep track of everything.
What is the initial investment?
The initial investment is from £9,950 + VAT. Exactly what it covers, such as training, launch support and setting up your territory on our systems, is explained in the information pack and confirmed in the franchise agreement. You should also plan for your own working capital while the business grows. We recommend speaking to an accountant before committing.
Are there ongoing fees?
Yes. You pay a royalty of 8% and a marketing fund contribution of 2%, both calculated on completed jobs. There may also be an optional monthly fee for additional services. These pay for the brand, booking system, CRM, team app, national marketing and ongoing support from head office. All figures are confirmed in your franchise agreement, so you know exactly where you stand before you sign.
What support will I get after launch?
Head office stays involved after launch. You get ongoing help with systems, marketing and day-to-day questions, and a franchise scorecard so you can see how your business is performing on quality and customer feedback. Regular quality checks help you keep standards high. If you hit a problem, from a tricky booking to recruiting cleaners, our team is there to help you work through it.
Should I take legal advice before signing?
Yes, we strongly recommend it. A franchise agreement is a significant commitment, and an independent solicitor, ideally one with franchise experience, can explain your rights and obligations before you sign. We will give you the agreement in good time to do this. You may also find it helpful to speak to an accountant about funding, tax and cash flow for your new business.
