🎉 New Franchise Owner through Franchise Empire 🎉
Tesa and Steve have spent their lives building together. Childhood sweethearts and now parents to a six year old daughter, they reached a point where they wanted something different for their future.
Tesa had worked her way up to become a Talent Acquisition Manager, but the job came with 70 hour weeks and constant pressure. The schedule left little room for family life, and she knew it wasn’t sustainable long term. Instead of continuing down that path, she and Steve decided to pursue business ownership.
They began exploring the pet care industry, drawn to the demand and the opportunity to build something meaningful. Steve even began looking into grooming certification so he could develop hands-on expertise while they prepared for the transition.
With guidance from Matt, they found a mobile pet grooming and care business model that aligned with their goals and allowed them to build something together as a family. “They had a clear vision from the beginning,” Matt said. “They wanted ownership not just for income, but for freedom and time with their daughter.”
Today, they own two territories in a fast growing pet care franchise and are building a future that works for their family, not against it. Hard work brought them here. Ownership will take them further. Congrats to this sweet couple!

Episode #165: You NEED to Watch THIS Before Buying a Franchise
The Maids franchise might be one of the most overlooked “boring businesses” in franchising, but the numbers may surprise you. In this video, I break down the real costs to start a Maids franchise, the franchise fees and royalties owners pay, and the average sales and profits reported in the Franchise Disclosure Document. We’ll also look at how the team-based cleaning system works, why this model is often considered recession resistant, and how owners operate the business without doing the cleaning themselves. If you’ve ever wondered how much money cleaning franchises actually make and whether The Maids franchise could be a good investment, this breakdown walks through the numbers and the business model step by step.
That’s a wrap for this week’s Franchise Empire newsletter.
Feel free to reply with any questions, or feedback. I appreciate and value your time and attention.
I’ll see you at the same time next week!
-Tariq and The Franchise Empire Team
