Not Interested In An Online Business...Why Not Start A Cleaning Business?

If you want to open a business but haven’t decided what kind of business you will operate, why not open your own cleaning business?  This business is farily easy to set up with low overhead and you really don’t need training and experience but you must have the determination to succeed.

The first thing you do is register your business. Registration of a business is a requirement in opening a business in most states. You could use your name in your business cleaning services or any simple name which can be easily remembered by your prospective clients.  I have a window washing business  and the name I use is Clearwater Window Washing. 

Make a promotional flyer for the cleaning service you are about to operate. You can also advertise in any bulletin or local newspaper.  I run a monthly ad in my local Idaho Falls paper and it costs about $50.00 a month. You can easily find clients because the cleaning business is in high demand. Every home or office needs to be cleaned no matter what the state of the economy is.  If you decide to do business with banks, you may be required to get a bonding license and getting liability insurance is a good idea too.  Just check with your state or city requirments and see what is needed to become legal and get started.

Another way to promote your business is to distribute business cards and it is effective and inexpensive. Making your business cards colorful will make a better impression on your prospective clients.

Here is what my business card looks like:

As you may notice, I also clean gutters so adding another aspect to your cleaning business like maybe power washing or cooking meals can always help with extra income.

Like I mentioned, it does not take much money to get started.  Just buy some cleaning supplies, use the vacuum you already have (or use your clients) and you are ready to go!

Good Luck!
