This is one of the lowest investment businesses to start. It is a simple business - the more windows you wash, the more money you make! And there are many profitable sidelines you can offer as well.
Many window and blind cleaning services start out as home-based operations and grow into commercial premises.
The beauty of this industry is its mobility. To carry out such a service the person must be physically present to carry out the cleaning and maintenance work and it is rare for clients to visit the operator's business premises.
Operating your business from home can also have many advantages. However, there are also some pitfalls to consider too. Your decision should be based on your individual business needs and whether your home is suitable as business premises. There are a number of other factors you will need to consider such as council zonings and regulations and taxation issues.
Attention to detail, efficiency and reliability are essential ingredients to making your business a success with your target customers.
However, for your business to shine, you will also need to take into consideration your associated operational duties which are integral to your business' survival with duties such as accounting, monitoring your cash flow, bookkeeping and how to develop the best pricing method for your business services.
This guide takes you through the start-up phase step-by-step, from how to conduct your market research to effectively targeting your customer base through to issues such as equipment requirements, premises, potential trading hours, staff considerations, invoicing customers, dealing with complaints and how to make bank reconciliations.
