Whether you are working, retired or unemployed, starting your own window cleaning business can be great way to achieve personal and financial freedom. Despite the stigma associated with “cleaning”, a window cleaning business can easily turn into dream job. This is especially true if you have an obsession for cleanliness and organization.
These days people lead more hectic lives than ever before. They have less time for the tedious task of cleaning, so they’re more than willing to pay thousands of dollars for you to clean their windows for them. The demand for these services is growing and it’s outstripping the supply of quality detail-oriented window cleaners to meet it.
What You Can expect
You get to be your own boss. You get to work your own hours. But.. before you get to enjoy your freedom you will need to setup the foundation of your cleaning business first.
If you have never owned a business before you are going to need a business template, preferably from someone who has built and ran a successful windowing cleaning business before. It needs to cover finances, include an example marketing plan, details on how to find clients, and also cover the important legal issues involved. We recommend a good source of information later. It should include a description of the product and service you are going to provide e.g. window scraping, interior and exterior window cleaning, glass restoration.
Other considerations should include if you will offer weekly, monthly or quarterly window cleaning services. The cleaning industry is build largely on repeat customers using your service long term. So always charge a reasonable price and offer the best service to keep your customers always happy.
How much funds will you need to get started?
Things to consider include equipment, a truck or trailer to house your equipment, marketing/advertising and the costs of insurance. It’s probably best to start with residential window cleaning as you will need less specific equipment to get started. You can get away with using what you already have to clean your own home. As your business grows you will need to purchase specific equipment to handle the bigger jobs.
Don’t be put off by or overwhelmed by the enormous list of things you need to consider. You only have to complete them once and there are templates you can follow.
Go and start your own window Cleaning Business NOW!
