Two Maids A Mop franchise FAQ
How much does it cost to open one — the total initial investment?
The total initial investment necessary to begin operation of a TWO MAIDS ® franchise ranges from $93,440 to $149,890. This includes $59,950 that must be paid to the franchisor or affiliate. [p.1]
What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee is a fixed amount due at the start of the franchise or area development agreement. It is $19,950 for the first territory and is nonrefundable upon signing the agreement [p.108, p.14]. This fee includes initial training and the Start-up package [p.22].
What are the ongoing royalty and advertising fees?
Ongoing royalties include both variable sales-based royalties, which vary based on franchise agreements and may include de-escalation clauses, and fixed rate royalties, which are flat fees due monthly as determined by the franchise agreement. Fixed rate royalties may also escalate during a new franchisee ramp-up period or periodically for inflation [p.214].
How long is the initial franchise agreement, and can I renew it?
This isn't specified in the excerpts. The FDD does not provide information about the length of the initial franchise agreement or the renewal process beyond stating conditions for a holdover period if no new agreement is signed before expiration [p.154].
Can I sell or transfer my franchise, and what does that require?
Yes, you can sell or transfer your franchise, but it requires approval from the franchisor for good cause [p.5]. The proposed assignee must complete the franchisor's application for a franchise agreement and disclose all terms and conditions in writing [p.144(i)]. Additionally, if the transfer results in a new Franchisee, they must sign the current form of Franchise Agreement and pay the current initial franchise fee [p.145(iv)].
On what grounds can the franchisor terminate the agreement?
The franchisor may terminate the agreement on any grounds available by law, according to [p.84].

What financial requirements — net worth and liquid capital — do I need to qualify?
This isn't specified in the excerpts.
Do I get an exclusive or protected territory?

However, there are areas known as 'Gray Areas' which are not part of any protected territory and can be approached by you [p.101].
