Start Your Cleaning Business Today

May 31, 2020

With the right planning and strategies, starting a cleaning business can be an inexpensive and effective way to become a business owner. Starting a cleaning business can be really lucrative. There will always be homes that need cleaning, and it’s a job people are eager to hand off. We have housekeepers that have increased their cleaning business’ annual revenue by $75,000-$90,000 just one year after they joined Housekeeper.com

As described by Fit Small Business, starting a cleaning business offers huge profit potential with minimal startup costs. To start, you just need a business plan, insurance, some cleaning supplies, and a solid marketing strategy. A savvy housekeeping entrepreneur can start a profitable cleaning company with less than $500. You also need to determine which market group you're going to focus on. The cleaning industry has two primary market groups: consumer and commercial. The consumer arena consists primarily of residential maid services, along with carpet cleaners, window cleaners and a variety of other cleaning services required. The commercial arena is dominated by janitorial services, which typically provide a wider range of services than maid services, along with other cleaning companies, such as carpet and window cleaners that target businesses rather than individual consumers. While it's recommended that you decide on a niche and concentrate on building a business that will serve your chosen market, it's entirely realistic to expect to be able to serve multiple markets successfully.
