25. Cleaning
Most people are involved in income-generating activities and little time to take care of their surroundings. This includes the companies whose focus is their core business objectives. This is where there is a requirement for maids, crime scene cleaners, house cleaners, and janitors. If you are starting a cleaning service business, certified cleaning specialists are in high demand from all sectors of the economy. The business needs to be equipped with a few items when you are launching it. A few basic cleaning skills are also a requirement to ensure that you can provide the expected standards. The items to be used include a van that can take your items, a few basic supplies, and protective wear. There are other things needed such as liability insurance, business cards, and professional invoices. Good presentation skills are vital to enable you to get good work opportunities.
All the above things can be sourced for less than $5,000 and a bigger share will go at getting a van. Should your budget be restrictive, then you start small like beginning with window cleaning services. This will require a low amount of money. The business can also have specialized services but you will have to get a certification that will cost more money. The certificates expose you to the specific companies that need such services. Some of the specialized services are restoration, disaster cleanup, and window cleaning. The other expenses will occur along the way such as replacement and upgrade of supplies. The gas, insurance fees, and marketing costs have to be factored in. It will be hard work at the start as you build your clientele base. Once established, you may choose the jobs to deal with. In the beginning, you can charge something like $20 per hour and increase it depending on your services. The fee depends on the targeted market and the amount of time you will be cleaning,
