What are some tips for starting my own cleaning company? I’m writing a business plan for starting my own cleaning residential and office cleaning company.

The business plan is useful if you’re hoping to get investors. Otherwise, spend your time focused on your strategic plan. Specifically identify: who your audience is, what problem they have, how you solve it, why they should trust you, etc.

You’re looking to identify what makes you different from all the other cleaning companies out there. You need to specialize in something: “green” cleaning products? flexibility – can you do a quick cleanup on short notice? Do you have expertise in cleaning “tricky” surfaces (leather, fancy rugs, etc.)?

Once you’ve done this work, you have the start of an effective plan of action.
