Start a cleaning business

Start a cleaning business: A trade with low startup costs and steady repeat customers, where showing up on time already beats half the market. 1) Choose one service to start: homes, offices or move-out cleans, in an area you can reach in 20 minutes. 2) Check what your country asks for to register and insure a small service company. 3) Clean two homes for friends at a discount in exchange for photos and honest reviews.

The steps

  1. Choose one service to start: homes, offices or move-out cleans, in an area you can reach in 20 minutes.
  2. Check what your country asks for to register and insure a small service company.
  3. Clean two homes for friends at a discount in exchange for photos and honest reviews.
  4. Write one price per home size, and print one simple flyer with your number on it.
  5. Knock on 30 doors or leave 100 flyers in the nearest streets, and ask each customer who else needs one.
  6. Offer a fixed day each week or two: regular customers are what make this a business.
