One of the easiest and least expensive businesses to start is a janitorial service. The training is not hard to come by and often times is free and businesses want and need a reliable service provider.
The cost to get into the business can range from under one hundred dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars depending on the level of service you choose to provide. If all you want to do is provide a basic service you can get by with a vacuum cleaner, a cleaning bucket, a couple of types of cleaning solutions, some rags, a duster and some business cards. You would be able to use your current vehicle and your cell as a business phone line so you would not even have to invest in those.
A commercial cleaning contract can be found via a simple Google search and you can adjust it to fit your specific offerings as well as make it client specific. Legalese would not really enter in to the contract to a huge extent because of the nature of the business. A commercial cleaning contract is very specific in what you offer and what your client pays as well as when payment is due.
Training is generally easy to get from several sources. You can go to YouTube for training in almost any genre and you will find some good videos there that would help. The best training you would get though is the suppliers of commercial cleaning products and equipment. They want you to use their products and they are more than willing to show you how to properly use their cleaning items so you will become a faithful customer.
For specialized cleaning such as window washing (it is a specialty in the cleaning industry), there are many ways to learn that aspect of the trade. Your investment to start offering that service would be in the one hundred dollar range and the actual cleaning solution is something you have right under your kitchen sink - dish washing detergent. A few drops of liquid detergent into a couple of gallons of purified or distilled water and you have the mainstay of what most successful window washing companies use.
You will find videos offered by many companies that teach you the proper technique to make sure that your windows are cleaned to the satisfaction of even the toughest customer offered by the companies that sell the equipment. Get your equipment, generate a couple of gallons of cleaning solution and practice on your own home windows. Inside of about a half an hour of practice and you should be able to have the system down pat.
Trust me on this... you may not find an easier business to start and grow... I know first hand!
