*Working capital - This capital is required prior to signing a Merry Maids Franchise Agreement. This capital may be needed to cover Initial Investment costs and capital needs of the business during the start-up phase. Initial Investment costs are detailed in ITEM 7 of the Franchise Disclosure Document. Important: These figures are estimates, and Merry Maids cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting your business. Your costs will depend on factors such as: how much you adhere to the Merry Maids methods and procedures; your management skills; experience and business acumen; local economic conditions; the local market for our product/service; the prevailing wage rate; competition; and the sales level you are able to reach during the initial period. Details of SMAC financing are contained in ITEM 10 of the Franchise Disclosure Document. SMAC will not provide working capital funding. Your personal banking relationship may provide working capital funding. Merry Maids requires that you have at least the amount of "Working Capital" and "Down Payment" shown in the above example and that the Total Liquid Capital Required be in personal liquid assets to qualify for purchasing a franchise even if you are able to fund the Working Capital and Down Payment through a lender.
