We have over 30 years of cleaning and small business experience. After helping family members and friends start and successfully operate their own cleaning businesses we decided to help others do the same.
Not everyone has the personality to run their own business. It is hard work. You need to be able to motivate yourself. You need to have integrity and be decisive. If you commit to success you will prosper if you don't you are completely responsible for your failure.
When you decide to start your own business you will need all the tools of the trade plus training on how and when to use what. You will need to advertise and market your service, set up bookeeping,keep legal records, pay taxes, acquire business licenses,secure insurance, maintain equipment,purchase supplies and chemicals, plus learn what a cleaning technician does. It is possible to research and search for all the resources yourself. We did. That is the hard way and definitely not the smart way. The money you save up front will be offset by the fact that it will take you longer to get the business operating and cash flow started if you don't have your systems in place when you open your doors for business.
We can teach you what you need to know so you can start making money immediately.
We have found that the most common intimidation to starting a new business is fear of the administrative responsibilities. There is fear when we don't know what we need to know. However just as there are systems for proper care of carpet, there are systems for the administrative tasks of bookeeping, marketing,payroll,taxes etc. We have developed systems that work splendidly for this industry. They are easy to use and efficient.
Often when someone starts looking into owning a service business like carpet cleaning, they take a look at franchise opportunities. There are upfront franchise fees, ongoing royalties and constant pressure from the franchisor to perform.
We are willing to help someone start a new business for the cost of training,supplies,equipment and resources. There are no royalties, no pressure. You own your own business. We will provide additional supplies, resources and training for fees at your request. You can save yourself years of trial and error and start operating a profitable business immediately.
If you think you have what it takes to own your own business we encourage you to take our test Do you have what it takes to own your own business. If the results of that test are that you have the right personality to run your own business then review Traits of an Entrepreneur if you are very serious about starting your own carpet cleaning business contact us.
