Hi Woody,
Cleaning industry is extremely competitive
but I'm sure you're already aware of that. Usually very tight margins.
(Low cost start-up = lots of competitors.) The larger the business you're
after, the more competition, the smaller your margin.
If you're sure you really want this type of
business, be sure to contact and create a network within related industries,
eg; providers of cleaning chemicals, grounds maintenance (gardening, etc),
washroom hygiene/sanitary disposal, electrical/plumbing
contractors.
Networks take time. Relationships are all
important.
Kind regards,
Cris

Just a side bar here. I am in the process of
purchasing a cleaning company. It is cheap to buy, low overheads,very
profitable a great cashflow business. I am going to have to work it for a
couple of months until Ican increase my cliental.
I am a Chef by trade and have owned many
restaurants, however a cleaning business is new to me. I have even taken a
partime job with another cleaning company to gain experience. Question to
any chat member that has expertise in this area. How can I increase my
cliental and any tricks of the trade would be appreciated. I plan to build
it up a larger company then put in a manager.
