Industries we serve · Cleaning businesses

Launch your cleaning business in about 30 days — without franchise fees.

You don’t need a national franchise name to look legitimate. You need clear offers, online booking, easy payments, and a system for keeping repeat clients coming back.

We’ll talk through your cleaning business idea, budget, and timeline — and give you an honest recommendation, even if that’s DIY or a different path.

Why cleaning businesses get stuck at “almost ready”

Most cleaning businesses don’t fail because the work is bad. They fail because the systems are messy: unclear offers, no real website, and scheduling that lives in texts and DMs.

  • It’s hard to look professional without a solid website and clear packages.
  • Scheduling turns into chaos — calls, texts, Facebook messages, and sticky notes.
  • Repeat customers get lost because there’s no simple way to track who’s who.
  • Pricing feels like a guess, so quoting is stressful and inconsistent.

What we set up for cleaning businesses

Franchise Free gives you a launch-ready system, not just a website. Everything is built with a cleaning business in mind, so you can start taking jobs without drowning in tools.

  • A simple website that explains exactly what you clean and where you work.
  • Online booking so clients can request one-time or recurring cleanings.
  • Payments through tools like Square so you’re not chasing checks and cash.
  • A basic CRM to track leads, quotes, active clients, and repeat customers.
  • Automated confirmations and reminders so you cut down on no-shows.

How your offers might look in the system

You’re always in control of your own pricing. Our job is to help you package it in a way that’s easy for clients to understand and easy for you to manage.

Recurring home cleaning

A simple recurring service that spells out what’s included, how often you come, and how billing works.

  • Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly options
  • Clear “what’s included” checklist
  • Online booking requests and confirmations

Move-in / move-out cleaning

High-value, one-time jobs that need clear expectations and easy quoting.

  • Simple intake form for square footage and details
  • Clear quote process and follow-up emails
  • Card-on-file or deposit options

Small office & commercial spaces

Packages for offices, studios, and storefronts that need recurring cleaning but not a giant janitorial contract.

  • Site visit / quote requests built into your form
  • Recurring schedules tracked in your CRM
  • Simple summary so clients know what they’re paying for

Common questions from cleaning business owners

Do I need a franchise to look professional?

No. A clear brand, website, booking flow, and payment setup will do far more for you than a franchise logo if your systems are solid.

Can you help if I already have some tools?

Yes. If you already have a website, booking app, or payment processor, we’ll either integrate them or help you simplify into a stack that makes sense.

What does “launch in about 30 days” mean?

It means your core offers, website, booking, payments, and basic CRM are ready to use — and you have a written 30–90 day plan for how to grow from there.
