Start a Cleaning Business – Crime and Trauma

There’s no greater feeling than to be an owner of a successful business.  If you’ve decided to start a cleaning business, understand that your industry statistically has a very high failure rate.  Although service businesses are the least expensive and easiest to start, they come and go as quickly as day turns to night.  Even though you may know several business owners who have guaranteed you a contract if you start your own cleaning business, your success will depend on much more.

Since you’re determined and feel confident that a cleaning business is right for  you, you must have weighed the pros and cons of such a business venture.  First, you know that a cleaning business is always in demand and you have what it takes to make it work.   Second, you have the appropriate amount of start up capital and sufficient cash flow to sustain your business through the first year.  And third, you have the time and energy to commit to your new business venture.  Now, have you stopped to think of the “cons” of starting a cleaning business?  Here are just a few that should be considered:

• Very low profit margin
• Employees who are not paid enough to care about their job
• Employee theft
• High employee turnover
  
• Terrible work hours
• Lot’s of competition
• Customer complaints

Your idea to start a cleaning business isn’t a terrible one however, you should take time to consider the type of cleaning business you will start.  For example, will you concentrate primarily on office buildings or homes, restaurants or doctor’s offices.  In your haste to start a traditional cleaning business, have you given any consideration to a less than traditional business concept, such as crime scene cleanup?  Although a traditional cleaning or janitorial business may be more suited to your personality or individuality, a crime scene cleanup business is worthy of careful consideration.  If you’re intent on starting a cleaning business, start thinking of a business that will allow you to charge $150 to $400 per hour, per employee.  Think of a cleaning business that will allow you to pay your employees $23 to $45 per hour.  Think of a cleaning business that will allow you to work nearly any hours you want to work, with very few customer complaints.

The type of cleaning business you should think about starting is a Crime Scene Cleanup Business.  Although the popularity of this type of cleaning business is growing, the competition in most states is minimal.  And, even in areas that already have two or three such companies, many are poorly qualified to conduct this type of cleanup work, charge too much for their services or don’t follow industry accepted standards for waste disposal.

Start a cleaning business that allows you to accept a wide variety of different types of cleanup jobs.  Here is a partial list jobs your company will be called upon to clean or restore:

• Crime Scenes
• Suicide Scenes
• Accident Scenes
• Meth Labs
• Decompositions
• Unattended Death Scenes
• Gross Filth Homes
• Hoarding
• And many others
