    Yeah - I'm seriously thinking of deleting the spammy jumper-on post or two and shunting the thread out into the open.

    Thumbs up Start a Home Cleaning Business Right Away!

    It's not really that hard to start a home cleaning business. But nobody attains success without going back to the basics.

    • Be professional as possible to establish integrity and credibility in business. Create the most unique business name you come with enough to attract clients.

    • Business credibility will not start unless you go to city and obtain a business license. It may require a fee but it won’t put a dent on your pocket.

    • If you know someone working on local newspaper, it will be your great advantage to start your home cleaning business. State requirements depend on how long it must run. If you don’t have a friend who works on a publication, you can still advertise your business by looking for a paper that requires less payment. They all charge different fees for doing the same thing.

    • It’s better to have at least two references before advertising to help you look more professional.

    • Make professionally designed business cards. You can create your own logo or have it done professionally.

    • Be choosy in hiring a partner. It’s better to find a co-worker whom you can trust and will match on your preferred working style.

    • Get a liability insurance. You may find it expensive but you may consider it if you’re going to have employees. This is both beneficial on your and your employees for security purposes.

    • Make sure that everything is tracked. These will include the mileage, products you purchase, and cleaning products you use at home to clean your rags. Keep their receipts.

    Thumbs up Why not start a commercial cleaning business?

    In the field of cleaning business two groups of the principal market is considered to be the consumer and commercial arena. Though this two groups is only in the region of one field, these two still has differences in between them.

    Consumer arena is a group in the field of this business that is also known as the arena that deals with the residential property of consumers. Mainly residential property refers to the personal things, places, or areas of costumers and an example of which are the carpets and windows that are not used for any profitable activity. In this group, a person is not required to have a frequent time with his work unlike with the market of commercial arena.

    Commercial arena, on the other hand, provides a range of services. It would be going along with other companies that are focused on rendering cleaning services like window and carpet cleaning but those that target on business enterprises not with the individual consumers anymore. This arena produces more profit than that of costumers’ because of more time allotted for rendering the service.

    Commercial cleaning service allows you to have a profit that could reach for about $720 with just four hours of work. And you can get that from about five to six services rendered and that is for only half a day. What an excellent way of generating an income right?

    So if you already settled your mind in stepping into the business of cleaning why not start a commercial cleaning business? Things would not be so loose, yet it is worth it.

    Here's where things really diverge between South Africa and the USA markets.

    We do facilities management for a few clients and I did a costing excercise on the cleaning aspect for one recently. The long and short of it - the company is realising a gross profit of about R500.00 per cleaner per month!

    And yes, I did say gross profit. Take out marketing and admin costs after that... the nett profit is really thin - maybe less than 5% of turnover.
