Beginning a business venture is an exciting and potentially a beneficial prospect, but also one that is filled with uncertainty and risk. Research the area you live in for the pro's and con's & the amount of compaction . Learning the facts will only help you and your business have the best chances of survival. Then you have to choose which style of cleaning company suits you. Whether it be residential houses, pressure washing, offices, or constitutions clean ups and so on.


Pros
One of the main reasons people start a business is to reap personal and professional benefits. With a new business, you have the flexibility in setting your own hours, to be your own boss,. It  gives you the ability to pursue a career based on your interests and skills. Opening a business also gives you a great feeling of freedom.

While beginning a business can seem overwhelming, the potential for financial success is there. Out of all the styles of cleaning company's out there house cleaning is the cheapest to start (in my opinion). With it being the easiest to start the compaction it however is more stiff.


Cons
While a new business venture can be exciting, it can also be a tiring pursuit. The hours are longer in the beginning, example say a 40 hr work week can easily be turned in 52 hrs a week. These numbers can increase around the time of your opening. Think of it like this, you do the jobs and then there is the paper work after words. Most start out as company's run everything themselves. Most don't have the funds for employee overhead.

You'll also need to purchase Limited liability insurance and get bonded. You however can start without these but I highly recommended you don't. If something was to happen it could cost you a lot of money.

Don't underestimate the difficulty with owning your own business. While working for someone else, you had 1-3 jobs to do but, when you open a business, you will need to have the ability to complete any needed task, including hiring and firing employees, arranging contracts and relationships with vendors, and performing less glamorous jobs, like cleaning.


Considerations

Since opening a business comes with risks, you should limit the risks as much as possible. For example, have enough capital to keep your business running for several months without income coming in. You may have to  start your company part time, work the job you have now to pay the bills until things pick up.
