Grow Your Wilmington Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Trolley Square to Greenville, the Riverfront to Hockessin — MaidProfit gives Wilmington cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs and serve Delaware’s wealthiest corridor.
Why Wilmington’s Corporate Wealth Drives Premium Cleaning Demand
Wilmington is the Corporate Capital of the World — more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies are legally incorporated in Delaware, and many maintain offices in Wilmington. This corporate concentration, along with major employers like DuPont, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase, creates strong commercial and residential cleaning demand.
The Brandywine Valley suburbs — Greenville, Centreville, and Hockessin — are home to some of the wealthiest families on the East Coast. The du Pont family estates and Winterthur area represent ultra-premium cleaning opportunities. These affluent suburbs offer exceptional rates and loyal, long-term clients.
Delaware’s business-friendly tax environment (no sales tax statewide) simplifies operations. Wilmington’s position between Philadelphia and Baltimore means many residents are professionals commuting to larger metros, creating a time-pressed client base that values convenient cleaning services.
No Sales Tax = Simpler Operations
Delaware has no sales tax, making your invoicing and operations simpler than in neighboring states. MaidProfit helps you run clean, efficient operations in this business-friendly state.

Wilmington Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Wilmington Business License
Wilmington requires a city business license from the Department of Finance. Apply online or in person. Fees are based on gross receipts.
Delaware Business License
Delaware requires a state business license from the Division of Revenue. The annual fee is $75. Register your LLC ($90 filing fee) with the Delaware Division of Corporations.
No Delaware Sales Tax
Delaware has no sales tax. This simplifies your invoicing significantly — what you quote is what clients pay. It’s also a competitive advantage for clients comparing to PA or NJ services.
General Liability Insurance
Essential for the Brandywine Valley’s high-value properties. Greenville estates may exceed $5M. Carry $1M+ coverage. Expect $500–$950/year.
Workers’ Compensation
Delaware requires workers’ compensation for all employers. Mandatory before hiring your first employee. Costs run $2.00–$3.50 per $100 of payroll.
