Hi! I clean small offices but have friends who do residential cleaning. I m not sure where you live, I m in the USA. The real key to any cleaning business is to target potential customers who can afford to hire a cleaner and need one. Also, remember many times people aren t happy with the cleaning they have but either don t know where to look for a new one or are too busy.First, sit down and make a list of why you are better-or superior-to other cleaning businesses. Use that list to make a nice flier and business cards. Put these where your target customers might go and see them...gyms, country clubs, specialty shops.You may want to call around and get quotes for liability insurance-the smallest amount you can get. The price varies a lot, but it is a great selling tool.I have lots more tips and resources for you on my Squidoo lens and blog. The links are in My Profile.Good Luck!!!
Start a cleaning business is not that difficult, however running a profitable business is much more challenging.Starting a business in a down market is great fora variety of reasons:1.) It forces you to be really lean, diligent and efficient. These disciplines will aid you greatly if you stick to them as when the market turns around.2.) Cleaning(with the exception of carpet and duct-work cleaning) have very low overhead and fixed expenses. So, this is the type of business I would start in a recession.3.) While many people are cutting back, many people are now having to go to move from single income streams to dual income streams. Thus, people have less time to spend cleaning and the like. So, they would rather spend a little bit of money in order to free up their time to spend with friends and families.So, yes it is always a great time to start a business. However, starting a business is not a trivial endeavor. Make sure you have thought all of the responsibilities that go along with providing a service for a fee.For example, how are you going to charge?When do people have to pay.How much to you have to charge in order to generate a profit ?How much is it going to cost to run your business: Taxes, licenses, liability insurance, incorporation, accounting and book keeping, sales and marketing, promotion and advertising etc.
No, it is rubbish, i tried it before, hardly anyone apart from old grannies want there houses cleaned you ll only be earning about ��100/week if you have to pay a team then your screwed
I would wait until the recession is over. That is a luxury that many people are cutting out.
yeah okay then, no advice or tips just.... yeah okay then
