One of the main reasons people start businesses is to make money. For some it's a blessing to make money doing something they love. I'm not saying that you have to love house cleaning in order to have a flourishing house cleaning business; any way it would be a good idea if you didn't hate it.
How much money you make depends on how big you want your company to be. It could be a one person operation where you set up at home and service areas close to home, or you could set up a commercial office and hire people to work for you.

Here are 7 uncomplicated steps to get you started on your own house cleaning business.
1) determine exactly what kind of house cleaning services you will offer.
Here you decided what cleaning you will do, like manufacture beds, vacuuming, mopping and waxing floors, dusting and so on. Also note what you won't do, e.g. Laundry. You can also determine to specialize, e.g. By cleaning carpets only, or cleaning suspended ceilings only.
2) Pricing your housecleaning service.
To have an idea of how to charge for your housecleaning service, use your competition. Check your telephone directory and the classified ads section in your local newspapers for cleaning businesses, call them up (pretend to be a prospective client) and find out exactly what cleaning services they offer and how much they charge. With this facts gathered determine the best price to charge for your cleaning service.
3) Workout startup costs.
For this you need to consider, tools, material, transport, advertising, insurance etc. Write down a list all the tools and material you need, like cleaners, sponges, mops, carpet cleaning tool etc. Next find out the cost of each item on the list and write it down next to the item.
Transport: you will have to evaluation your costs here. You see it depends on where your client is located and your means of communication to get to your client. (Having your own car would be to your advantage).
Advertising: You can use free advertising (word of mouth) and paid advertising (classifieds, telephone directory ads etc). Phone calls to your local newspaper and the telephone company who publish your telephone directory will tell you the cost of placing ads.
Once you've gathered all this information, theorize your total startup costs.
4) Name your business.
Choosing an proper name for your house cleaning company is important. Here are a few examples I got of the internet, 'Maid Brigade', 'All Shine Cleaning', 'White Glove Cleaning Service'. Please avoid using 'Your Name Cleaning Services'. Using your own name as part of your company name is over done by many house cleaning businesses. Brainstorm and come up with a name that helps you stand out of the crowd.
5) Learn the zoning regulations of your community.
Check the city clerk's Office or your local library for a copy for a copy of the zoning laws governing your community. Your theorize for doing this is that some zoning regulations prohibit home businesses in a community.
6) Do a few free cleaning jobs.
Well you're not assuredly doing them for free. You're doing them in change for references (these add to your credibility for hereafter paying clients and are invaluable). You can offer these free cleaning jobs to friends, non behalf organizations in your communities etc.
7) Get your first paying client then get another and another and another and so on.
Tell everyone you know that you've started a cleaning company and place ads in the local newspapers. In the starting you need to spend most of your time and money getting paying clients. However, the more clients you get the less time and money you spend on marketing and more time you spend on cleaning and manufacture your clients happy.
This is just the beginning. Once you start manufacture money take a house cleaning company procedure to help you best administrate your company in terms of growth, accounting, taxes, insurance best marketing strategies and more.
