Starting a Residential Cleaning Business

2 hrs 20 min

Most people who start cleaning houses already know how to clean. What they don't know yet is the business underneath it. Twenty-five lessons, each a written lesson with its sources and a narrated video, walk a new owner through building a recurring house-cleaning business from a blank page. You decide what business you're in and whether the work is right for you. You get legitimate: registration, a separate business account, insurance and a bond, and clear rules for keys, codes, pets and private papers. You find your rate by starting from what you need to take home, walk a house before you quote it, and price it room by room. You find your first ten clients, keep your route tight, and put the deal in writing. On the job, you time your cleans, hold the line on extras, and protect every client's dignity. Then the money side: what each visit really paid, a tax jar, and raising prices without losing clients. You finish with your own Opening Kit, built a page at a time through the course. Every dollar figure in the course is a made-up example. Where the law and taxes come in, the course points you to the right office or professional. This course is not legal, tax or financial advice.
