Marvellous Maids was started by Kate Shuttleworth (no relation!) in 1998. As the business grew she was joined by her daughters and their husbands who brought new energy and professionalism to Marvellous Maids. Having run out of family, Marvellous Maids is now franchising nationally.
There are already eight offices across the Western Cape with a ninth set to open in George. There are three very successful offices already open in Gauteng and the Fourways area has just been sold. Kate can be contacted on 076 679 8618.
Prices range from R360 000 for a turnkey operation in Joburg to as low as R60 000 for a small town operation.
MARVELLOUS MAIDMOBILE
Marvellous Maids has come up with a new, lower entry franchise model.
The cost of the franchise is R75 000 and the operator will be able to work from home, relying on Marvellous Maids for bookings and office support. They will need a clean, late model, preferably a multi-person delivery vehicle. This vehicle will be wrapped, the cost of the wrap, 10 000 pamphlets (hard card, excellent quality) and 20 Marvellous Maids uniforms will be included in the purchase price.
