Why Minnesota Is a Top-Tier Cleaning Market
Minnesota’s strong economy, highly educated workforce, and above-average household incomes make it one of the best states in the Midwest for cleaning businesses. With 5.7 million residents and a median household income of $80,400, the North Star State has the purchasing power and lifestyle patterns that drive consistent demand for professional cleaning services.
The Twin Cities metro — Minneapolis and St. Paul — is home to over 3.6 million people and one of the most vibrant economies in the Midwest. The region is headquarters to 17 Fortune 500 companies, including Target, UnitedHealth Group, and 3M, creating a deep pool of dual-income professional households that routinely use cleaning services. The suburbs of Edina, Minnetonka, Woodbury, and Maple Grove are among the state’s most lucrative residential cleaning markets.
Rochester, anchored by the Mayo Clinic, is the state’s second-largest metro and a unique opportunity: a concentration of high-earning medical professionals with demanding schedules and premium expectations. Duluth and the lake country add seasonal vacation rental cleaning opportunities that complement year-round residential demand.

Minnesota is home to 17 Fortune 500 companies, giving the Twin Cities one of the highest concentrations of high-income households in the Midwest. These time-strapped professionals are your ideal recurring clients — they value reliability and are willing to pay for it.

The affluent western suburbs of Minneapolis (Edina, Minnetonka, Wayzata) command the highest rates. St. Paul and the eastern suburbs are slightly lower. Rochester matches Twin Cities pricing. Duluth and Greater Minnesota are 15–25% below metro rates.
Minnesota Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your business with the Minnesota Secretary of State. LLCs can be filed online for $155. Sole proprietors must file an assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State ($50).
Sales Tax
Minnesota has a 6.875% state sales tax, plus local taxes up to 2%. Cleaning services for buildings and structures are generally subject to sales tax in Minnesota. Register with the Minnesota Department of Revenue to collect and remit.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required, but standard practice. Most Minnesota cleaning businesses carry $500K–$1M in coverage, costing approximately $400–$800 per year.
No State Cleaning License
Minnesota does not require a state-level cleaning license. Minneapolis and St. Paul each require a city business license. Many suburban municipalities also require registration.
Workers’ Compensation
Minnesota requires workers’ compensation insurance for all employers, with very limited exceptions. Coverage must be obtained through a licensed insurance company or through self-insurance approved by the state.
Paid Sick Leave
Minnesota’s earned sick and safe time law requires employers to provide at least one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours per year. This applies to all employers regardless of size.
