This business is a type of business meant for people that are passionate about keeping the environment clean, Keeping the house clean and neat. Also for people that love to make money, People that love business, and people that love to make an honest living.

First thing about this business, is that you need to understand that it is an exhausting Job and you can only take the jobs that fits both your schedule and your clients. On this note there are few things you need to put in place so as to make this Business a success.

Management :

You cannot just Start this business, without arranging your structure. At least you need to create a position that takes and registers orders and offers dates for execution. Using Accounting or bookkeeping App will help in keep clean and precise records. Then you need to create positions for Cleaners, Accountants ( of course you can do that yourself, being a growing business, your capacity might not reach to extent of employing such professionals. You also need to create segments for cleaners, you have to create a logistics plan. You need to plan Salary appropriations for your workers and you as well.

You also need to set prices, depending on the Volume of dirt, largeness of the property and proximity because you need to add money for your logistics.

You should also draft out contracts to serve as bond between you and your clients, workers etc.

Cleaning Products : Here you are expected to research and outline products and stain removing chemicals, repellants for fumigation and paint cleaning.

After outlining the ones suitable for you, you then go for survey, market prices and cheaper routes to get the chemicals.

(N/B, the cost of chemicals also determines the prices you charge per square meter or house, depending on your charge stat.)

So it is better for proper recording and analyzing before execution. Here you determine the amount of cleaning products that will be enough for an apartment, a bungalow, a duplex, a semi detached house and or a bed or two bed apartments. Whichever one it is, be sure to make your math a priority.

Staffing : This option can be done in two ways, You can either hire at random, or build a team of cleaning experts. Let me explain. ( remember this a proven strategy that is best for people trying to make from 500k to 1 million in 6 months of startup)



Hiring at Random: this is a process whereby you have the contacts of cleaners on speed dial. when you secure a job, you can invite this cleaners and negotiate a price with them, this is when you must have charged your client. when negotiating prices with this cleaners you make sure you have a substantial amount remaining for you.

Another angle here, is acting as a brokerage company posing as a cleaning service firm, after you secure the job, you give it to an actual cleaning service firm and take your commission. Of course you and this cleaning firm should have had a prior agreement on price on every job you bring to them. so when charging, you should add a mark up or a commission for yourself.

Building a team of experts :  Right here, you are building a team of maybe 5 persons to work for you on full time basis, you as the owner of the firm, should also have cleaners, because you cannot do it all by yourself, In a case of jobs, you can leverage each location as a marketing avenue to showcase your business, and also record the processes involved in this work. While building a team of experts, ensure to appropriate their remuneration. ( Salary ). So you must be technical with this, maybe you could opt to hurly pay or weekly or monthly pay. or on the job pay. whichever one you decide, while hiring make sure to tell your staff, the company policy of payment.

Equipment: This is the next thing to do, you ought to get. As a startup, purchasing everything will be expensive, so you make your list, outline the ones you can get and source others for hire.

Most of this equipment are cheap while others cost a fortune. You need to check your seed capital first then make a budget, all these are done when you are setting up your business management. Here are the list of equipment, then make a choice on what you wish to get and the one you are going to hire.

The property ( whether it is huge or small, how many rooms involved )

Equipment needed : If the place will require equipment that you will hire, then it is good to hike your price more to accomodate the Hiring or leasing fee.

Number of worker : If you hire at random, then your price is bound to change, if your appropriation is on hourly pay and monthly pay, then there will be changes to your price.

After taking into consideration all these factors then you can set an amount for you business.

People make close to 600k to 1 million NGN doing this business in few months, if you get more work than usual and execute. then you are bound to make a lot of money cleaning houses professionally.
