Launch your first remote local business without quitting your 9–5. Neel Parekh’s Remote Local Blueprint shows you how to start lean, make your first dollar, and build freedom on the side until you’re ready to go full-time.
Launch your first remote local business without quitting your 9–5. Neel Parekh’s Remote Local Blueprint shows you how to start lean, make your first dollar, and build freedom on the side until you’re ready to go full-time.
Most people think starting a business means long hours, heavy overhead, and more stress than a job. That fear keeps them stuck in the 9–5, waiting for the “right time.”
Neel Parekh took a different path. He built his business as a side hustle while still working full-time; only when it was bringing in $30K a month did he quit!
And today, that side hustle has grown into a 7-figure remote franchise with 40+ locations.
Dan followed the same approach. He was drowning in a 60-hour workweek, frustrated and underpaid. Three months after starting his Remote Local business, he left his job, out-earned his old salary, and finally had more time with his wife.
Parker’s story shows another side. A firefighter in San Diego, he searched for franchises for over a year but kept finding owner-operator models that just locked you into another job.
With Neel’s system, he broke even in 90 days, scaled with proven processes, and gained the freedom to design his life around his work — not the other way around.
That’s the power of the Remote Local method.
You don’t need massive capital or risky overhead. You don’t need to quit your job tomorrow.
What you need is a model that works anywhere, systems that run without you, and a strategy to scale when you’re ready.
Inside the Blueprint, you’ll discover how to:
You don’t have to gamble everything to start a business. You just have to take the first step — and this Blueprint shows you exactly how.
Neel Parekh is the Founder & CEO of MaidThis® Franchise, a national, tech-enabled cleaning company that serves both residential homeowners and short-term rental hosts.
Neel started his career in private equity, grinding in a 9–5 while trying side hustles like eCommerce and blogging. Nothing stuck—until he launched a simple local cleaning business with one cleaner and $400 a week in revenue.
Fast-forward: that business now grosses over $100K per month, has scaled into a national franchise, and has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, and Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Emerging Franchises.
For the last seven years, Neel has run MaidThis entirely remotely while traveling to 50+ countries and financially supporting his parents. His mission is simple: help freedom-seekers build businesses that work around their lives, not the other way around.
With the Remote Local Blueprint, Neel teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to start lean, use proven systems, and create businesses they can run from anywhere.
