What do you think about starting a house cleaning business?
There’s something all-American about entrepreneurs who start from scratch. Cleaning — a person and some rags and soap — is the quintessential start-up business that doesn’t require much capital.
That’s not to say it’s easy.
- You must deal with a range of clients and their particular quirks.
- You have to pay attention to more-efficient cleaning techniques, or your profits will go down the drain with the shower cleaner.
- Once you hire employees, you must have the fortitude to deal with ceaseless turnover.
Give it a go, and let me know how you make out.
