Live outside these counties? Apply anyway and tell us where. We expand based on where strong candidates are.
Why ownership
Why owning this business is worth it.
Regular appointments
Weekly and biweekly cleaning can help you build an ongoing schedule with familiar clients.
Trust brings referrals
Customers value a team that respects their home and delivers consistent work. That trust can lead to introductions.
A path to a team
Clear checklists and training help you maintain standards as you hire other cleaners.
The honest part
What usually makes it hard
Most people who are excellent at this work never start a company. It is rarely the work that stops them. It is everything around it.
- Pricing first visits, deep cleans, and recurring appointments
- Filling routes without excessive travel time
- Managing supplies, home access, and customer preferences
- Hiring reliable cleaners and maintaining quality

Who is a strong candidate
We care more about your ability and ambition than whether you've started a business before.
- Professional residential cleaning experience
- Consistent attention to detail
- Respectful handling of home access and customer belongings
- Reliable scheduling and communication
- Desire to own a company
Licensing and eligibility
Confirm applicable business permits, employment, safety, and insurance requirements for your location and service scope. We can help coordinate the process, but you must meet all requirements to operate.
Applicants must satisfy all applicable licensing, professional, and regulatory requirements for their field. Framework can help coordinate the process but does not grant, waive, or substitute for any license or credential.
- We put up to $25,000 into customer acquisition for each business we back.
- Framework also covers year-one setup and software costs where applicable, and works alongside you on systems, hiring, and growth.
- You own and control the company.
- Our standard structure is 7% ownership and 7% annual revenue royalties. There is no franchise fee.
- If your business becomes more valuable, our 7% becomes more valuable too.
Some regulated professions, including law practices, require a different legal structure with similar economics. We review the exact terms with you, in writing, before anyone commits.
