@@user-xq5nw9uh3f I tell my students to look for a local rep in their own town. Local reps sell for the bigger companies, but they have knowledge of requirements in your market area. But I have mostly used State Farm and Hartford over the years. My agent prices shops for me. :-)
If you pay them right it is definitely not impossibly. Most companies want to make 20,000 a month and pay their employees 12 dollars and hour to bust their tail and pay for their own gas, etc.
That is awesome! Can we post this somewhere for the world to see? LOL Cuz so many doubt it can be done. CONGRATS!!! SERIOUSLY AWESOME!! And proud of you!
I'm going to sign up for Social Security next year. I'll be 62 and am wanting to do a cleaning business by myself - nothing major, just extra $$$. I've cleaned for several cleaning companies over the years, so I do have experience. It's a nice side gig for retirees. I can't wait to start the journey.
Good idea. Approach a few small businesses and offer a bi-weekly clean for a fixed amount. Nothing heavy...just some dusting, vac, empty garbage cans ;-)
I am 16 years old and my father really opened my eyes. I really enjoy cleaning and organizing and this job defenitly caught my attention. Near where I live, there are multiple lakes and alot of lake houses, many are vacation homes.
Made 40$/hour for the first time in my life cleaning for my first residential client. It was the most empowering feeling… indescribable!! Crazy to think there is even more potential in my market, not quite sure how to get to the upper tiers in my HCOL city
That is SOOOOO awesome! Congrats! And yes… seeing the potential and being able to earn what you deserve is very empowering! 😊 Just keep working at increasing your rates. A high cost of living means that MANY in your market can afford to pay for a higher quality cleaning company… you just have to show them you’re different. You got this! 💪🏼
I work for someone and I make so little money and guess what, I’m going on my own. Reading your comment could make me tear up right now, good for you 👏
Wow, this vlog is a goldmine for aspiring entrepreneurs! Starting a cleaning business and making $1,000 a day sounds incredible, but it's not just about the money; it's about dedication, strategy, and hard work. I appreciate how you've broken down the steps and shared practical tips. It's inspiring to see how anyone with determination and the right knowledge can turn a cleaning business into a success story.
A lot of this information transfers really well to my professional photography business. For example, I became a commercial photographer a few years ago, mainly because it was so much easier dealing with the "non-emotional" commercial clients as opposed to brides or families who have so much emotional investment in the images they want. I've also seen the power of subcontracting in my space, but it's a bit harder since the skill set for what I do needs to be relatively high. But good stuff!
Agreed! My husband owns a photo/video production company and he mainly shoots architectural because he says 'houses don't talk back.' LOL Thanks for the comment and compliment on the video! :-)
love the subcontractor business model. im starting out my business soon with just me and my partner, but hopefully in the future when we get more confident i can scale it to get "employees" and refer back to this video. wish me luck❤
I work full time as a cleaner/janitor. It's crap. I want to go on my own but don't know how. I DO NOT want to deal with employees. It's one of the biggest reasons I want to leave my current job. Your job doesn't suck! People suck! Other people are dead weight, waste of time. I want to work on my own, at least until I can find someone(s) trustworthy. I DO NOT want to clean residence, unless it's outdoor work or garage cleaning. Businesses only. I'm going to find out how to get started!
@TheProfessionalCleaner Thank you! Love your videos. Great info. I'll be around. I am taking care of some first things first and getting it going as we speak. Last night, I got online and got my LLC. Now, getting a list together for other things I gotta do. I own some cleaning equipment already. Putting the pieces together.
Just signed up for your course, your Facebook group, and a call at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Tired of being stuck small my cleaning, looking forward to talking!
@@wallng3865 yes, I've got my LLC in place and ready to start marketing and hiring as a professional business 👍. I like Bethany's approach, I overthink things and there's really not much to a cleaning business besides trust and people skills lol. Anyone can clean really.
@@PROficient57 thanks! I’m hoping to release the cleaning course in the next 8 weeks… then I’m moving on to a couple other courses all about specializing in 1) luxury residential and 2) mass scaling a commercial cleaning business. Stay tuned!
Sooo happy I found you!!! I will also check out Josh’s content. Please make a video on recession and pandemic proofing a cleaning business ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽✨ much appreciated!!!
How do I go about finding commercial properties/business contractors to hire me for the job? And what type of business to go after ? So sign a contract with a commercial contract for about 5 years ? And do I negotiate a price with the contractor? Can you make a video on the things that I’m asking? I think it would help ❤. Thanks for the video.
From my understanding I didn’t think you could “train” a subcontractor or 1099 person. That would make them an employee from what I thought the IRS says. I’m trying to go 1099 subcontractors on my accts but the line is very fine.
Hey Noris! Excellent question and point, and you are right, it is a fine line. The laws vary from place to place, but there is an expectation that as the business owner you will be providing 'some level of guidance and/or direction.' So it really comes down to doing your research to see what the specific laws are in your area, and if in doubt, consult a legal professional. :-)
@@TheBadGuy69 Keep in mind there are also A LOT of subs doing cleaning part time, as a side hustle. This has been the case for many of my subs over the years. So legally where I operate they could still be subs, even tho they didn't clean for anyone else. 🙂
In NN it's extremely hard to hire subcontractors.. if they don't have insurance you are stuck paying their workers comp portion. I just find it easier to hire employees. The video was great explaining all the angles for a cleaning business..
My cleaning business name is registered and I'm licensed and insured. It is just little ol me right now, no employees. What I'm trying to determine, is whether or not to start with one service or niche, or offer many. My 1 service I would like to try first, is Disinfecting with the electrostatic sprayer, than eventually work in more services as I go along. I think where I live, I may get busy too fast if I offer more services. Can you give me any advice as which service may be more profitable?
Hi there! I am personally not a fan of those sprayers, as they can leave residues in some cases, and in others they aren't actually disinfecting properly due to the dwell times required to kill some types of bacteria. But I do know of others in my market that sell that as a service. I'm just not sure what they are charging or if they are finding success. But if you're going after commercial clients then I would just focus on general cleaning. That service offering isn't going anywhere, whereas the spray disinfection became popular during the pandemic, and the hype will fade IMHO. But general cleaning, will ALWAYS be needed. And in commercial you can totally limit what you offer. You just need to be up front with clients and say what you will do, and what you don't. For example, I don't do carpet cleaning or exterior window cleaning... but instead I just have vendors that I refer my clients to. :-)
@The Professional Cleaner that's good advice, thank you. You mentioned you prefer to hire contractors instead of employees. Can you tell me why, and how much do you pay them hourly? I'm in Oregon, and if I remember, residential cleaners charge 25 to 35 an hour, and commercial is 35 to 45 an hour. I'm also nervous about determining how long it will take me to clean an office, whether 600 sqft to 10k sq ft. I don't want to under bid. Any tips would help 😊😊
@@-All5ofus- You're welcome! Contractors are better IMO for legal reasons. You don't owe them benefits, paid time off, and so on. They work on an as needed basis. What I pay varies, but in my market usually $35+ an hour. This means I have to bid the jobs correctly so I am making my share, and go after the right types of clients, which is something I teach in my course. If you take any and every client, but those clients are just looking for the cheapest option, then you won't have the budget to pay your subs fairly, and they won't last. It's a business model that will leave you frustrated in the end. So finding high paying clients is absolutely key, and trust me, there are PLENTY of them out there. You just have to position yourself as a premium offering. :-)
very good value in this video! Thank you. i started off as a side hustle cleaner on the Taskrabbit platform which pivoted me into starting an LLC which I clean under now solo. I also still work for a few other cleaning businesses as a 1099 contractor to learn more ( watchingUA-cam pros) such as yourself and to make a solid living! I will never go back to my hotel indsustry job now that I have gotten my feet wet in the cleaning business. I'm 9 months in , no business credit but I am terribly busy every single week and ready to hire a 1099 worker soon . any suggestions or should I wait until I have working capital to sustain the both of us ? I can't afford your course just breaking even with my income weekly , however I feel all that I am doing is working already lol
Sounds like you're on the right track! If you're ready to hire some help now, then the best option is looking for someone who is in a similar boat to you. Maybe they have a few of their own clients, but also have time to help you with yours. But it might also be good to wait until your schedule is full with your own clients and you are no longer working for other cleaning businesses... esp since this will let you dial in and build a client base that you're happy with. Just keep hustling and you'll get there either way! I'm proud of you! 🙂
@@jdonrl6791 Figure out what you want to charge per hour, and go from there. Some clients will want to know your hourly rate, others will be scared away by it, but use your hourly rate as a guide and bid from there. As for what to charge per hour, that really comes down to doing market research. 🙂
Great questions! The example in this video was gross profit, and is totally doable. But for more answers to that watch this... ua-cam.com/video/4qPtJELJExo/v-deo.html
I am thinking to start this business. If I start from residential client, do I need a contract with them about my SOP? I don’t want if my client will say that I broke their expensive things or steal their things that I never do.
Hey there! I keep my contracts in residential very simple, and no, I don't share anything w/ them about my operating procedure. I just share any important details with them on the interview. I do absolutely recommend you get general liability insurance to protect yourself, but in over 20 years I have never been accused of stealing or breaking anything because I just make sure I find high quality and trustworthy clients. :-)
Hello in India! Unfortunately no… just courses for those wanting to start or grow their own cleaning businesses. But many of the business principles could be similar. 😊
I Love your easy to understand content. I would like to know how do you as a Cleaning company owner, ensure a High Level of Service when using Sub-Contractors? Even when paying well people don't seem to care about your business as you do
Thanks! It's all about the hiring process. It's just don't blindly send someone to a job. I interview with the best prospects, and look to develop long term working relationships w/ subs and employees. :-)
I ben thinking 🤔 about this for a long time Starting my own solo cleaning business 😊 I work full time And I have one client. That I clean once a week and I love it am 53 years old I live By myself The holy spirit Guide me to do this 🙏
Go for it Sheila! If you're willing to work, and ESPECIALLY if you love cleaning, there is so much money to be made... and I believe we should do work that makes us happy. Proud of you! :-)
How do you find subs? I work home repair for a property management firm that manages 600 properties. I’ve been thinking about starting a cleaning business as passive income as they’ve expressed a need for a go-to cleaning service. Love to pick your brain, thank you.
WOW... that's a huge potential relationship! My go to methods are just posting on Craigslist, local FB Groups, online local classified ads, etc. You can also cold call other cleaning businesses and see if they would be interested in partnering with you. But first you'd need to understand how to bid the work correctly, so you can charge enough, which will give you the room to attract high quality subs. 😀
Always best to ask an accountant local to you, but yes I do. However I am also now hiring employees too. Always do your research and maintain compliance with labor laws. :-)
Hello, my husband and I are thinking of starting a cleaning business, do you think we should be like co-owners or should one of us be like an employee? I cant find much information about this thats clear, i hope u can see this cant wait for your answer!
Hello! You could do either... I would consult a tax/legal pro for further guidance, but basically you would want to avoid getting double taxed. So some business entities pay tax... and then you pay tax again when you pay yourself as an employee of the business. But in others, you can avoid this with certain tax filing statuses. So it really is a question for a tax pro. :-) But in our experience... if you're both going to be working on the business, at least to some extent, then you should both be on it. My husband and I own 3 businesses together. Sometimes we just bicker about who the CEO is in each one. Kidding... mostly. :-)
Bethany I got terminated due to discrimination in 6/6/23 by my manager I am living in New York and I have been out of a job for a while not sure if cleaning is still lucrative now would love to hear from your thoughts I would love to be able to work anywhere!
How do you start a cleaning business in a small town where it is a huge competition? And what is the best way to introduce your business to a potential clients ?
So never assume anything about competition. You have have a lot, but that doesn't mean people are happy with their service. So the more you get in front of people and build trust and solve problems, the faster you'll grow!
I post flyers or use direct mail to reach home owners. A good tip when mailing homeowner is add a cheap gift like pen or fridge magnet to your letter so that it dont look like junk mail. I get more responses this way 😀
great video but Im really stuck on $75/hr?? I have never heard of a cleaner earning that much an hour, the going rate in my area is a lot lot lower and so Im finding it hard to make a profit with having employess. Im $50/hr and most bawk at that rate.
Hi, can you please explain how you made $165 after paying your employee the $60? The job by yourself would be 3 hours @ $75 p/h = $225 But, if you take someone else with you to that job, it will take you 1.5 hours rather than 3 hours...is this correct? If you charge the client $75 p/h @ 1.5 hours, isn't that $112.50? Thanks
I had my own solo house cleaning business many years ago and it took off from word of mouth. I also did commercial. I ended the business to raise a family (also moved to another state), went to college and am finding myself wanting to get back into the business. It's what I do best. I never had insurance and never had an issue with it. Do you think liabilty insurance is a must have and why or why not? I charged by the job and not the hour. Is this still the best way to charge? Thank you for the excellent videos.
Thanks for your support! I do think it's important, to protect yourself. No sense taking the risk IMO, especially with how 'sue happy' people have become. :-) And word of mouth is still the fastest way to grow a service based business!
It really depends on the laws where your biz operates... so always be sure to be compliant based on those. But if you don't dictate the hours the subs work, dont provide them a vehicle or transport to and from jobs, and things like that... then typically they can be a sub. And the amount of training they need could be a factor too... but even the most experience subs will need 'some' direction on what to do at a job... in all industries, not just cleaning. :-)
Follow state laws too since they vary so much. Where I live and given the type of cleaning I do, subs are legal. Just depends business by business. :-)
Sorry for the delay! Def harder, but yes totally possible! Some start by just reaching out to other cleaning businesses who are struggling to find clients on their own. This is often referred to as the 'Remote Cleaning Business' model. I prefer to hire subs who work for me. They are technically their own biz owner still, but they aren't actively looking for their own clients, which creates more stability for my business. I am planning a video on this topic soon!
Just noticed you put 'employees' in quotes... so if you are talking about legal employees (W2 in the US) VS 'subs' then that will be more challenging... but still possible. Just find some who are willing to join your biz while you start finding clients... make sure they know you're just getting started... and then they'll be ready to get to work once you get clients on boarded. :-)
@@TheProfessionalCleaner well, I meant independent contractors but apparently the laws are strict in California now. So my only option might be to hire real employees. Thanks for replying!!
Hello! Great info. How much should I charge to deep clean a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. The client also wants her garage cleaned. I am doing all work by myself right. now
Hello! Depends on your experience and speed... but start with finding an hourly rate you are comfortable with and then just figure out how long it will take you based on the clients request. :-) I typically bid 3/2's at around 3 hours, but it really depends on the level of service they are requesting. :-)
some of these advice are good some are questionable- like… how u gonna make the margin if you hire 1099 subs? they charge min30$/hr can go up to 60$/hr. so if u charge client 225$ clean which is steep - making $45/3 hrs - that’s 15$/hr - that is ur share. what about ur biz over head?
Depends on the setting. In some smaller buildings we use consumer grade stuff, in other larger ones we use commercial grade stuff. And I train all of my commercial clients to buy products regardless, so it doesn't cost me anything. And I just charge for labor. This is how I also did it in residential which I did for over 15 years prior to doing commercial. If they are repeat customers, then the supply thing shouldn't be an issue for them. :-)
@@TheProfessionalCleaner I guess I ask as some people might expect, that because your a cleaning business, your obligated to provide all the necessary cleaning supplies and what not which is what is required but also has me wondering how I would afford to start out as a new business owner. My mom taught me how to clean from a very young age and now that she’s gone, I’d like to honor her memory by starting a cleaning business and becoming successful as a young entrepreneur. Top Notch Clean is the name, with a catchy slogan: No spills just frills! It’s a family friendly business, while also educating clients on the importance of keeping their homes clean in between cleans that way, it’s easier for me:) I’m know you know that but just wanted to share my business model with you🌸
awesome! does it also have the system in place that you use for your cleaners when they go to clean? i heard you mention something abt colored towels and things like that
If you mean working for local governments, I love these relationships and have many in this category. The biggest benefit is once you're in, you're in. And many governments have many buildings, meaning there is a lot of potential. The contracts are usually more complicated, but once you get through one you'll be good. :-)

The Department of Labor is who oversees that... but correct you can't train subs, so I look for experienced cleaners. That said there is nothing wrong with hiring employees if the need warrants it... like you found someone who is a super good fit for your business but who just doesn't know how to clean. In that case just factor in the added expenses to your business of hiring them as a W2 employee, and go that route.

Every market is obviously different but I have students in the UK doing very well. It's just about finding the clients that value "quality," since they're willing to pay up for it. 😀
Absolutely not true. Is it less common? Yes. But that's society's fault. And it's a limiting belief that bc you're male you can't clean houses. Like anything, build trust with the client that you can do the job, and the rest shouldn't matter. :-)
Yep because the principles are the same. I have lot's of students in the UK. And in addition to the course you can also ask me any other questions in the private community. :-)

This varies from state to state, or country to country, but in many places a 'subcontractor' is their own business owner, meaning they would be responsible for their own insurance... both general liability and WC... if WC is even required where you're operating. I have some large commercial contracts that require WC, but there is language in the contract that also says it's not required if a sub is doing the work. This is one of the reasons I use subs vs employees... it makes the insurance requirements simpler. And it's not because I don't care about their health/well being, I absolutely do... but my subs know and understand that in many cleaning businesses, mine included... it's just what makes sense for them and for me. 🙂 All that said, this is one reason I recommend you find an insurance rep local to you... since they will know more about the requirements where you operate.
On average yes... but I am being a little more choosy these days on which contracts I renew now that my coaching business is taking off. But I will always have a cleaning business at this point... it's just such an incredible income stream once you're up and running. And I genuinely enjoy working in the industry and serving my community. :-) And I know cleaning biz owners making wayyyyy more per day. Just depends on how big you wanna go. :-)

Finding employees is a lot harder than people think. You got to find someone who doesn’t steal, lie, and actually works as hard as you. 🙃
Def the hardest part of any business for sure! But with persistence you can find the good ones... promise! 💕

If you pay them right it is definitely not impossibly. Most companies want to make 20,000 a month and pay their employees 12 dollars and hour to bust their tail and pay for their own gas, etc.

A lot of this information transfers really well to my professional photography business. For example, I became a commercial photographer a few years ago, mainly because it was so much easier dealing with the "non-emotional" commercial clients as opposed to brides or families who have so much emotional investment in the images they want. I've also seen the power of subcontracting in my space, but it's a bit harder since the skill set for what I do needs to be relatively high. But good stuff!

Your job doesn't suck! People suck! Other people are dead weight, waste of time. I want to work on my own, at least until I can find someone(s) trustworthy. I DO NOT want to clean residence, unless it's outdoor work or garage cleaning. Businesses only. I'm going to find out how to get started!
Not being happy at your current job can be a big motivator! Check out my other vids for more free help! :-)
@TheProfessionalCleaner Thank you! Love your videos. Great info. I'll be around. I am taking care of some first things first and getting it going as we speak. Last night, I got online and got my LLC. Now, getting a list together for other things I gotta do. I own some cleaning equipment already. Putting the pieces together.

How do I go about finding commercial properties/business contractors to hire me for the job? And what type of business to go after ? So sign a contract with a commercial contract for about 5 years ? And do I negotiate a price with the contractor? Can you make a video on the things that I’m asking? I think it would help ❤. Thanks for the video.
All those topics are covered in my course but be sure to subscribe and I'll make future vids on them as well. 😀
From my understanding I didn’t think you could “train” a subcontractor or 1099 person. That would make them an employee from what I thought the IRS says. I’m trying to go 1099 subcontractors on my accts but the line is very fine.
Hey Noris! Excellent question and point, and you are right, it is a fine line. The laws vary from place to place, but there is an expectation that as the business owner you will be providing 'some level of guidance and/or direction.' So it really comes down to doing your research to see what the specific laws are in your area, and if in doubt, consult a legal professional. :-)
If the subcontractors have only one boss each, then they r employees not subcontractors
@@TheBadGuy69 Keep in mind there are also A LOT of subs doing cleaning part time, as a side hustle. This has been the case for many of my subs over the years. So legally where I operate they could still be subs, even tho they didn't clean for anyone else. 🙂
In NN it's extremely hard to hire subcontractors.. if they don't have insurance you are stuck paying their workers comp portion. I just find it easier to hire employees. The video was great explaining all the angles for a cleaning business..
*NJ
My cleaning business name is registered and I'm licensed and insured. It is just little ol me right now, no employees. What I'm trying to determine, is whether or not to start with one service or niche, or offer many. My 1 service I would like to try first, is Disinfecting with the electrostatic sprayer, than eventually work in more services as I go along. I think where I live, I may get busy too fast if I offer more services. Can you give me any advice as which service may be more profitable?
Hi there! I am personally not a fan of those sprayers, as they can leave residues in some cases, and in others they aren't actually disinfecting properly due to the dwell times required to kill some types of bacteria. But I do know of others in my market that sell that as a service. I'm just not sure what they are charging or if they are finding success. But if you're going after commercial clients then I would just focus on general cleaning. That service offering isn't going anywhere, whereas the spray disinfection became popular during the pandemic, and the hype will fade IMHO. But general cleaning, will ALWAYS be needed. And in commercial you can totally limit what you offer. You just need to be up front with clients and say what you will do, and what you don't. For example, I don't do carpet cleaning or exterior window cleaning... but instead I just have vendors that I refer my clients to. :-)
@The Professional Cleaner that's good advice, thank you. You mentioned you prefer to hire contractors instead of employees. Can you tell me why, and how much do you pay them hourly? I'm in Oregon, and if I remember, residential cleaners charge 25 to 35 an hour, and commercial is 35 to 45 an hour. I'm also nervous about determining how long it will take me to clean an office, whether 600 sqft to 10k sq ft. I don't want to under bid. Any tips would help 😊😊
@@-All5ofus- You're welcome! Contractors are better IMO for legal reasons. You don't owe them benefits, paid time off, and so on. They work on an as needed basis. What I pay varies, but in my market usually $35+ an hour. This means I have to bid the jobs correctly so I am making my share, and go after the right types of clients, which is something I teach in my course. If you take any and every client, but those clients are just looking for the cheapest option, then you won't have the budget to pay your subs fairly, and they won't last. It's a business model that will leave you frustrated in the end. So finding high paying clients is absolutely key, and trust me, there are PLENTY of them out there. You just have to position yourself as a premium offering. :-)
very good value in this video! Thank you. i started off as a side hustle cleaner on the Taskrabbit platform which pivoted me into starting an LLC which I clean under now solo. I also still work for a few other cleaning businesses as a 1099 contractor to learn more ( watchingUA-cam pros) such as yourself and to make a solid living! I will never go back to my hotel indsustry job now that I have gotten my feet wet in the cleaning business. I'm 9 months in , no business credit but I am terribly busy every single week and ready to hire a 1099 worker soon . any suggestions or should I wait until I have working capital to sustain the both of us ? I can't afford your course just breaking even with my income weekly , however I feel all that I am doing is working already lol
Sounds like you're on the right track! If you're ready to hire some help now, then the best option is looking for someone who is in a similar boat to you. Maybe they have a few of their own clients, but also have time to help you with yours. But it might also be good to wait until your schedule is full with your own clients and you are no longer working for other cleaning businesses... esp since this will let you dial in and build a client base that you're happy with. Just keep hustling and you'll get there either way! I'm proud of you! 🙂
how do you determine the pricing of your service? for example: by square feet, etc
@@jdonrl6791 Figure out what you want to charge per hour, and go from there. Some clients will want to know your hourly rate, others will be scared away by it, but use your hourly rate as a guide and bid from there. As for what to charge per hour, that really comes down to doing market research. 🙂
Great video! I’d love to hear how to make a remote, cleaning, business recession proof as well. Thanks!

I am thinking to start this business. If I start from residential client, do I need a contract with them about my SOP? I don’t want if my client will say that I broke their expensive things or steal their things that I never do.
Hey there! I keep my contracts in residential very simple, and no, I don't share anything w/ them about my operating procedure. I just share any important details with them on the interview. I do absolutely recommend you get general liability insurance to protect yourself, but in over 20 years I have never been accused of stealing or breaking anything because I just make sure I find high quality and trustworthy clients. :-)

@@TheProfessionalCleaner Your welcome
How do you find subs? I work home repair for a property management firm that manages 600 properties. I’ve been thinking about starting a cleaning business as passive income as they’ve expressed a need for a go-to cleaning service. Love to pick your brain, thank you.
WOW... that's a huge potential relationship! My go to methods are just posting on Craigslist, local FB Groups, online local classified ads, etc. You can also cold call other cleaning businesses and see if they would be interested in partnering with you. But first you'd need to understand how to bid the work correctly, so you can charge enough, which will give you the room to attract high quality subs. 😀
Do you need to issue 1099s to the people you hire as independent contractors?
Always best to ask an accountant local to you, but yes I do. However I am also now hiring employees too. Always do your research and maintain compliance with labor laws. :-)
Do you think targeting real estate companies to clean empty properties is a good niche for a cleaning business?
ABSOLUTELY! It can be harder/dirtier work, so I would be sure to charge appropriately. :-)
Hello, my husband and I are thinking of starting a cleaning business, do you think we should be like co-owners or should one of us be like an employee? I cant find much information about this thats clear, i hope u can see this cant wait for your answer!
Hello! You could do either... I would consult a tax/legal pro for further guidance, but basically you would want to avoid getting double taxed. So some business entities pay tax... and then you pay tax again when you pay yourself as an employee of the business. But in others, you can avoid this with certain tax filing statuses. So it really is a question for a tax pro. :-) But in our experience... if you're both going to be working on the business, at least to some extent, then you should both be on it. My husband and I own 3 businesses together. Sometimes we just bicker about who the CEO is in each one. Kidding... mostly. :-)
Thank you Joshua Mayo God bless you.

Can employees wear body camera to prevent stealing?
I've never heard of anyone doing that... so my advice... run background checks and hire good people. ;-)

How do you start a cleaning business in a small town where it is a huge competition? And what is the best way to introduce your business to a potential clients ?
So never assume anything about competition. You have have a lot, but that doesn't mean people are happy with their service. So the more you get in front of people and build trust and solve problems, the faster you'll grow!
I post flyers or use direct mail to reach home owners. A good tip when mailing homeowner is add a cheap gift like pen or fridge magnet to your letter so that it dont look like junk mail. I get more responses this way 😀

great video but Im really stuck on $75/hr?? I have never heard of a cleaner earning that much an hour, the going rate in my area is a lot lot lower and so Im finding it hard to make a profit with having employess. Im $50/hr and most bawk at that rate.
It does depend on the market, but in MOST markets that's a reality. Just find the clients who value quality! Those are the ones willing to pay up! :-)
@@TheProfessionalCleaner yeah thats so true, thank you! Gotta value our work 👍
Hi, can you please explain how you made $165 after paying your employee the $60?
The job by yourself would be 3 hours @ $75 p/h = $225
But, if you take someone else with you to that job, it will take you 1.5 hours rather than 3 hours...is this correct? If you charge the client $75 p/h @ 1.5 hours, isn't that $112.50?
Thanks
You bill by the 'man hours.' So the TOTAL HOURS it takes ALL cleaners on site. 1.5 hours x 2 people = 3 total hours. :-)
I had my own solo house cleaning business many years ago and it took off from word of mouth. I also did commercial. I ended the business to raise a family (also moved to another state), went to college and am finding myself wanting to get back into the business. It's what I do best. I never had insurance and never had an issue with it. Do you think liabilty insurance is a must have and why or why not? I charged by the job and not the hour. Is this still the best way to charge? Thank you for the excellent videos.
Thanks for your support! I do think it's important, to protect yourself. No sense taking the risk IMO, especially with how 'sue happy' people have become. :-) And word of mouth is still the fastest way to grow a service based business!
It's uncomfortable when the customer wants to sit there and watch you. Very awkward.
It can be for sure! When I did residential I usually encouraged them to go out. And it allowed me to work much faster. :-)

:-) ua-cam.com/video/P6kNHTTwt48/v-deo.html
Great video! Question though:
How can I go about hiring the SUB contractors rather than EMPLOYEE's ?
Thanks!
It really depends on the laws where your biz operates... so always be sure to be compliant based on those. But if you don't dictate the hours the subs work, dont provide them a vehicle or transport to and from jobs, and things like that... then typically they can be a sub. And the amount of training they need could be a factor too... but even the most experience subs will need 'some' direction on what to do at a job... in all industries, not just cleaning. :-)
Hiring subs instead of having employees is not advisable from an IRS standpoint. Make sure you follow tax laws.
Follow state laws too since they vary so much. Where I live and given the type of cleaning I do, subs are legal. Just depends business by business. :-)
great lecture
Many thanks!
Is it possible to hire "employees" immediately? Without doing the cleaning yourself?
Sorry for the delay! Def harder, but yes totally possible! Some start by just reaching out to other cleaning businesses who are struggling to find clients on their own. This is often referred to as the 'Remote Cleaning Business' model. I prefer to hire subs who work for me. They are technically their own biz owner still, but they aren't actively looking for their own clients, which creates more stability for my business. I am planning a video on this topic soon!
Just noticed you put 'employees' in quotes... so if you are talking about legal employees (W2 in the US) VS 'subs' then that will be more challenging... but still possible. Just find some who are willing to join your biz while you start finding clients... make sure they know you're just getting started... and then they'll be ready to get to work once you get clients on boarded. :-)
@@TheProfessionalCleaner well, I meant independent contractors but apparently the laws are strict in California now. So my only option might be to hire real employees. Thanks for replying!!
You bet! And good job looking at the laws for your state... since that's what matters most. 🙂@@user-oo2sm2je2r
Great information
:-)
Hello! Great info. How much should I charge to deep clean a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. The client also wants her garage cleaned. I am doing all work by myself right. now
Hello! Depends on your experience and speed... but start with finding an hourly rate you are comfortable with and then just figure out how long it will take you based on the clients request. :-) I typically bid 3/2's at around 3 hours, but it really depends on the level of service they are requesting. :-)
some of these advice are good some are questionable- like… how u gonna make the margin if you hire 1099 subs? they charge min30$/hr can go up to 60$/hr. so if u charge client 225$ clean which is steep - making $45/3 hrs - that’s 15$/hr - that is ur share. what about ur biz over head?
I now hire both subs and employees... but check out my video on profit margins for a full breakdown of your question. :-)
Thanks for the information
YW!
I’ve made flyers and passed them out, a website and got an llc and I’m having trouble finding clients.. it’s so hard I’m getting discouraged
Keep at it! Most fail bc they give up too soon! You got this!
Is there a site that is available for finding people who needs cleaning assistance?
Not any good ones I’ve found yet. But I hope someday. 😊
For commercial cleaning, don’t you need specialized equipment to clean with? It’s expensive isn’t it?
Depends on the setting. In some smaller buildings we use consumer grade stuff, in other larger ones we use commercial grade stuff. And I train all of my commercial clients to buy products regardless, so it doesn't cost me anything. And I just charge for labor. This is how I also did it in residential which I did for over 15 years prior to doing commercial. If they are repeat customers, then the supply thing shouldn't be an issue for them. :-)
@@TheProfessionalCleaner I guess I ask as some people might expect, that because your a cleaning business, your obligated to provide all the necessary cleaning supplies and what not which is what is required but also has me wondering how I would afford to start out as a new business owner. My mom taught me how to clean from a very young age and now that she’s gone, I’d like to honor her memory by starting a cleaning business and becoming successful as a young entrepreneur. Top Notch Clean is the name, with a catchy slogan: No spills just frills!

How do u feel about government contracting?
If you mean working for local governments, I love these relationships and have many in this category. The biggest benefit is once you're in, you're in. And many governments have many buildings, meaning there is a lot of potential. The contracts are usually more complicated, but once you get through one you'll be good. :-)
Do you go over in the course booking systems and how to set up?
Hey there! I don't currently have videos in the course on this since everyones software needs will be different, but I am partnering with an invoicing company as we speak. Over time they will be adding more functionality and it will hopefully be an all in one solution... so be sure to subscribe to be notified. But what I teach in the course will still get you on the right track with whatever booking software you choose to use. :-)

How do you train and manage a staff of subcontractors? Wouldn’t this invite IRS to audit your business?
The Department of Labor is who oversees that... but correct you can't train subs, so I look for experienced cleaners. That said there is nothing wrong with hiring employees if the need warrants it... like you found someone who is a super good fit for your business but who just doesn't know how to clean. In that case just factor in the added expenses to your business of hiring them as a W2 employee, and go that route.

How to handle workman's comp with subcontractors
This varies from state to state, or country to country, but in many places a 'subcontractor' is their own business owner, meaning they would be responsible for their own insurance... both general liability and WC... if WC is even required where you're operating. I have some large commercial contracts that require WC, but there is language in the contract that also says it's not required if a sub is doing the work. This is one of the reasons I use subs vs employees... it makes the insurance requirements simpler. And it's not because I don't care about their health/well being, I absolutely do... but my subs know and understand that in many cleaning businesses, mine included... it's just what makes sense for them and for me. 🙂 All that said, this is one reason I recommend you find an insurance rep local to you... since they will know more about the requirements where you operate.
How do I go out and find contacts?

Hi I want to open cleaning business and I can work as sub contractor
Go after it! You can do it! :-)
This isn’t a how too video this a different type of businesss models 😕
Check out my channel... lot's of how to content. :-)
So... Is that how much you make?
On average yes... but I am being a little more choosy these days on which contracts I renew now that my coaching business is taking off. But I will always have a cleaning business at this point... it's just such an incredible income stream once you're up and running. And I genuinely enjoy working in the industry and serving my community. :-) And I know cleaning biz owners making wayyyyy more per day. Just depends on how big you wanna go. :-)
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Loved the video!
Thanks for your support! 🙂@@remembermeordie
