Short answer
Operating a Cleaning Authority franchise? Merchant Fund Express funds it with a business loan, a merchant cash advance, revenue-based financing, a line of credit, equipment financing or working capital, from $5,000 to $5,000,000. Owners mostly need cash to hire and train cleaners ahead of demand, team vehicles, local marketing to fill the schedule and a cushion for slow seasons. Send three months of business bank statements and expect a decision within 2–4 hours in most cases.

What The Cleaning Authority owners call about
Hiring ahead of demand
New cleaners need training and a paycheck before their schedule is full, or the growth stalls.
Team vehicles
Each crew needs a reliable car to reach homes across the territory; one breakdown cancels a day's cleans.
Filling the calendar
Recurring clients build steadily, but the marketing that wins them is paid for first.
Retention costs
Bonuses and incentive plans keep good cleaners, and they cost money before they pay back in lower turnover.
Fastest fit for each The Cleaning Authority need

Why recurring revenue makes a fast yes easier
The Cleaning Authority lists a 6% royalty and a 2% national brand fund, and says its customers typically book a clean every two weeks. Regular bookings show up as steady deposits, which is exactly what a quick funding decision is built on. The pinch is usually timing: wages and vehicles for a new team come months before that team's schedule is full.
Merchant Fund Express looks at the office's deposits, subtracts the franchisor drafts and current payments and sizes something that fits. Owners growing toward a manager-run office often pair working capital for hiring with equipment financing for team cars.

A The Cleaning Authority file, start to finish (hypothetical)
A Cleaning Authority owner has a waiting list of recurring homes and wants to add two teams. That means four cleaners, two cars and six weeks of training wages before the new routes pay for themselves. They ask for $62,000. A specialist could finance the cars against quotes and cover hiring and training with working capital.

Owner questions, answered
Can I get funding to hire cleaners before the schedule is full?
Yes. Working capital covers recruiting and training wages while new routes fill.
Can I finance cars for my cleaning teams?
Yes. Send the dealer quote. Work vehicles for an operating business are routine equipment requests.
Does recurring client revenue help?
Yes. Steady biweekly bookings show up as consistent deposits, which the review relies on.

Usually 2–4 hours on a complete file. Same-day funding is available, 500+ FICO is accepted and sole proprietors can apply.
