Grow Your Rochester Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From downtown’s Discovery Walk to the suburbs of Byron and Stewartville — MaidProfit gives Rochester cleaning companies the tools to serve one of Minnesota’s fastest-growing and most affluent cities.
Why Rochester Is a Premium Market for Cleaning Businesses
Rochester is home to the Mayo Clinic, the world’s top-ranked hospital, and the $5.6 billion Destination Medical Center (DMC) development that is transforming the city into a global medical hub. With a median household income of $78,200 — one of the highest in the Midwest — Rochester offers cleaning businesses access to premium clients.
The city’s economy is overwhelmingly driven by healthcare, with Mayo Clinic employing over 40,000 people. This creates a workforce of physicians, researchers, nurses, and administrators who value professional cleaning services and can afford premium rates.
Rochester’s rapid growth — driven by the DMC initiative — means new housing, hotels, office buildings, and retail spaces are constantly being built. The city’s population is projected to grow significantly over the next decade, creating expanding demand for both residential and commercial cleaning.
Mayo Clinic = High-Income Clients
Mayo Clinic’s physicians and researchers are among the highest-earning professionals in the Midwest. They expect premium cleaning services and are willing to pay for reliability. MaidProfit helps you deliver the consistency these clients demand.

Rochester Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Rochester Business License
Rochester requires a business license from the City Clerk’s Office. Fees vary by business type. Home-based businesses must comply with zoning requirements.
Minnesota Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the Minnesota Secretary of State ($155 LLC filing fee). Register with the Department of Revenue for sales tax obligations.
Sales Tax Compliance
Minnesota charges 6.875% state sales tax. Residential cleaning is taxable in Minnesota. Rochester’s local sales tax adds to the total rate. Register and remit all applicable taxes.
General Liability Insurance
Essential for Rochester’s high-income market. Many clients, especially Mayo Clinic-affiliated housing, require proof of $1M coverage. Expect $450–$900/year.
Workers’ Compensation
Mandatory in Minnesota for all employers. Rochester’s tight labor market (driven by Mayo Clinic’s massive employment) means competitive benefits are important for attracting cleaners.
DMC District Compliance
If cleaning commercial spaces within the Destination Medical Center district, be aware of additional permitting requirements and building access protocols.
