Starting a Commercial Cleaning Business
The commercial cleaning business involves providing cleaning services to clients that are willing to pay to have their businesses or even households, cleaned.
There are several factors to consider before you can be able to start your own commercial cleaning business; these include the fact that one must at least have enough knowledge with regards to basic business management skills.
It is always important to have this skill to help you with the overall management of your business. If you do not have any basic knowledge you can always attend seminars, forums, take classes or do research on your own. Another important factor is to have basic knowledge regarding the actual business you wish to start. Again there are several options to choose from to garner this skill.
In the cleaning industry consider the two basic marketing groups which are the consumer and the commercial. Since you are interested in starting the commercial type of cleaning business this will consist mainly of janitorial services, maid services and a variety of other cleaners including those that clean carpets and windows specifically. It is important to choose and select the type of services you wish to offer to your clients. Have a scope of the type of equipment you will be using as well. Focus on your chosen market and be sure to develop and improve on your services focusing directly on this target market. Once your company has expanded may you then consider other target populace.
Upon listing the services and facilities you will then need to canvas the market for these similar types. From here you will be able to decide on how to price your services. Also keep a broad spectrum of choices. This will help you decide on the quality of goods you can purchase including the best deals available in the market. Since you are only beginning your business it would be best to stick with the basics before considering other options or upgrading equipment. Again, this may all be considered once your company has garnered more revenue throughout its operation. Otherwise you may want to consider franchising an existing commercial cleaning business if you do not wish to start your own one from scratch.
At this point you will have to consult with an attorney to assess the legalities of your business such as permits, licenses and certifications, and also an accountant, to draft a budget estimate and place an allotment for specific finances that you will be spending on your business which includes but is not limited to, location, equipment, marketing, advertisement, etc.
This type of business is one that is very profitable as long as you target all the essential aspects and provide quality services, enough to build your credibility in the business market. Many people will be involved in this type of business so remember that before you can build relationships with your clients you must first build relationships with your employees.
