House Cleaning Business
from: Creating Wealth for LifeIf you had been dreaming about starting your own business, you might have taken a look at starting a house cleaning business. House cleaning businesses fit those who are looking to supplement their incomes from their main profession. If you see the statistics (http://www.bls.gov,) it may convince you how much demand there is for this type of fulltime business.
Starting a House Cleaning business shouldn't be difficult since what it takes is basically the physical strength and some cleaning supplies and equipment which are available at local stores for less than $100. You may also need a small business license from your county office.
If you're unsure, start off as a part time service in the neighborhood twice a week or so. However, if you're considering jumping right in, you should make sure you have at least 6 months' reserve cash on hand while you're building you list of regular customers.
Preparations
There is some preparation in terms of setup and marketing that should be taken care of before you get going. Buy a month's worth of supplies and equipment in advance because you can't expect your clients to provide them. Run text ads/classifieds in local papers, post fliers at grocery stores, laundries etc. Send out handbills or door hangers with catchy phrases and with contact details.
It's also a good idea to have a business card printed or you can do your own on your computer on the pre-perforated cards available in stationary stores. You can also get a magnatized place card that you can attach to your vehicle with your company name, phone number and catch phrase, which is one of the best advertisement you can do to promote your new business.
Most of these things are relatively inexpensive and all together, you may have to spend about $1000. You can also put up a small website which will give you instant credibility and help the growth of your business as many new clients could discover you online.
How much do you charge for your service? It's important not to charge too little. As a thumb rule, go by how much you would paid for this type of service.
2bed, 2bath home: bi-weekly $85.00
3bed, 3bath home: bi-weekly $90.00
4bed, 4bath home: bi-weekly $105.00
Punctuality and a friendly nature will help you expand your business because the best form of advertising has always been, and will always be positive "word of mouth".
