At You’ve Got MAIDS we believe the Franchise Agreement must work for each party equally. If one party is unfairly profiting at the other parties’ expense there can be no good will. If you are performing due diligence on a maid service franchise please read UFOC Item 8 carefully.
When you are performing your due diligence on maid service franchises, focus on Item 8 of their UFOC regarding Restrictions on Sources of Products and Services. Some franchisors use this section of the Franchise Agreement to extract unfair revenues from its franchisees. It is a hidden tax. It is a hidden royalty.
Item 8 is the area of the UFOC in which the maid service franchisor details where you will purchase your cleaning supplies, vehicles, print material, uniforms, etc. during the term of your franchise agreement. This is the section of the UFOC where some franchisors stop seeing a franchisee as a partner, and starts to view them as a revenue source.
Don’t listen to what the franchisor says, watch what the franchisor does. If the franchisor is profiting from forcing you to use a certain supplier, then they have put a fence up between you and them.
The housekeeping service franchise, You’ve Got MAIDS believes requiring your franchise partners to purchase supplies from a certain company, and then getting a kickback from that supplier for a franchise partners purchases is morally wrong. Any franchise that treats its franchisees this way is viewing you more as an income stream rather than a franchise partner.
