Hi, Kati!I clean small offices, but may be able to give you a little help. First, find out exactly what the big buildings will expect to be done by their cleaning company. This includes regular cleaning and occasional items like carpet cleaning, buff and waxing of floors. Costs for all of these will need to be broken down and listed in your proposal.Make a list of why your friend s cleaning company is superior to other companies. This will be your intro and part of your conclusion. Be sure to include that your friend is licensed and bonded (or has liability insurance), worker s comp, etc.I hope this helps some. I have more tips and resources for your friend on my Squidoo lens-the link is in my Profile.
