Item 19 sample and definitions

Item 19 (PDF pages 75-78) reports Gross Sales per Target Household, not total sales per business: 188 reporting franchise owners operating 402 businesses open for all of 2025, excluding businesses that opened or closed during the year. The average is $21.65 and the median $18.77; 72 owners (39%) met or exceeded the average. Part I charts systemwide sales of all franchisees for 2021-2025 without printing exact amounts.

How to interpret Molly Maid’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.

Item 6 license fees use progressive annual sales tiers, roll-in rules and weekly minimums tied to territory households. Local marketing is a household-based requirement with credits, and required call-center charges depend on bookings. A single flat percentage would not preserve these formulas. Reported sales are not owner income.

Scope of these figures: The selected Molly Maid disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 188 reporting franchise owners representing 402 franchised businesses open for all of 2025. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.

Document & verification changelog

  • October 30, 2026: Record updated.
  • October 30, 2026: Added liquid-capital and net-worth qualification amounts from Neighborly's current Molly Maid franchise investment page, which cites the 2026 FDD. An older franchisor page still refers to 2020; the new amounts are not attributed to the FDD.

  • October 23, 2026: Complete source recheck against the April 1, 2026 FDD: cover, Item 1, Item 5, the Item 6 schedule corrected on October 19 (PDF pages 26-39), every Item 7 row and total, Item 17, Item 19 Parts I-II and Item 20 Tables 1-4. Added Item 5 and Item 7 notes and the Item 19 median; corrected the Item 19 note, which had misdescribed the systemwide sales chart; removed an unstated franchising start year and liquid-capital and net-worth figures without an FDD or exact website source; corrected the Item 20 page. The source hold is cleared.
  • October 19, 2026: Source review hold recorded: The October 19 audit found and corrected material Item 6 transcription errors against PDF pages 26-39.
