The commercial and residential cleaning industry is a $90 billion recession-resistant market. Businesses need clean offices, hospitals need sanitized facilities, and homeowners need reliable cleaning. Yet despite stable demand, cleaning companies struggle to access capital to grow from small operations into professional businesses.
At Merchant Fund Express, we fund cleaning companies at every growth stage. From solo operators hiring their first employee to established janitorial companies pursuing large facility contracts, we understand capital requirements at each stage.
The cleaning industry presents a classic growth paradox: bigger contracts require more staff, equipment, and vehicles. But affording those investments requires the bigger contracts. Our funding breaks this cycle by providing capital to invest in growth before revenue arrives.

No lengthy business plans or financial projections required. Our application is designed to capture the essential data points we need without wasting your valuable time on irrelevant questions or redundant paperwork.
Step 2: Document Submission (Same Day)
Provide 3-6 months of business bank statements. This is typically all we need for funding amounts under $250,000. No tax returns, no audited financial statements, no collateral appraisals, and no personal financial disclosures beyond what is standard. For cleaning service businesses, we may also review industry-specific documentation such as contracts, invoices, or licensing to strengthen your application and potentially increase your approved amount.
Step 3: Approval and Offer (24 Hours)
Our underwriting team evaluates your application using industry-specific criteria calibrated for cleaning service businesses. We understand your revenue patterns, seasonal dynamics, operational expenses, and growth trajectory. Unlike banks that use generic lending criteria, our evaluation accounts for the specific financial characteristics of the cleaning service industry. You receive a clear, transparent offer with no hidden fees within 24 hours of complete document submission.
Step 4: Funding (24-48 Hours)
Accept your offer electronically and receive funds directly deposited into your business bank account within 24-48 hours.
