Why a Royal Maid Service?

Marginality

One of the key requirements of the E 2 visa is that the business it refers to should be more than marginal, i.e. it should generate revenues to pay the salary of employees other than the owners. As a Royal Maid franchisee you will employ two members of staff immediately to clean homes while you are busy growing your business.

A maid service is well suited to the E 2 visa because it creates employment and the busier you get the more employees you need. This self perpetuating cycle is a major factor in continuing to satisfy the requirements of the E 2 visa.

Investment

The investment must be substantial. It must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the enterprises. There is no specific amount of investment defined but substantial is generally considered to be between $100,000 and $200,000 and the percentage of investment for a low cost business must be higher than the percentage of investment in a high cost enterprise. Royal Maids is a low cost investment that satisfies the percentage requirement.

Many investors worry because their investment must be “at risk” in order to qualify for an E 2 visa. In order to place it “at risk” the investment has to be deposited in an independent escrow account. It can be very disconcerting to part with a large sum of money into an account over which you have no control. Royal Maid Enterprises has used American attorney Erik Larsen of Winter Park, Florida as their escrow agent in the last twenty franchises sales. In the unlikely event that your visa is refused the funds are returned to you immediately. When your visa is approved the funds are released for use in the set up and operation of the business. For your peace of mind you can confirm this process with an established Royal Maid franchisee or Erik Larsen himself prior to any investment being made.

Consumer Demand

Demand for maid services is well documented. With more than 70% of women in the United States now working outside the home dual income families are becoming the norm. This trend is eroding the amount of time set aside for leisure and more & more people are prepared to pay for services that will reverse that erosion and provide more down time from a hectic schedule. The baby boomer population is swelling the ranks of those people with no time or desire to clean house and this demand is forecast to grow well into the 21st century. Today US consumers spend more than $9 Billion a year on residential cleaning and that rate is growing at more than 20% each year.

Royal Maid Enterprises is a family owned and operated company that provides the systems and support you need to operate a successful maid service in the US. Do you have the people skills to make it a success?
