I'm sure you'll agree that the best job in the world would be one in which you work for yourself, set your own hours, and see your income rise or double year after year. But how and where do you start? Surfing the internet only overwhelms you with possibilities...and most are questionable, at best. But you can join others making full-time earnings from part-time hours. And you can do it absolutely Risk-Free. Start an office cleaning business!

Anyone can do the cleaning, but the key is "getting the accounts." Before you set out to get your first account, it's essential that you not only have the few necessary items to clean an office, but you, also, have a professional service agreement. This agreement should spell out exactly what will be cleaned, how it will be cleaned, when it will be cleaned, etc. and the price. No not charge by the hour, but by the job! The agreement needs to cover issues of liability, payment schedules, cancellation, and other legal issues. Alot of this can be found, in sample form, on the internet. Be sure to check your State laws and local ordinances to see if there are other requirements for cleaning/janitorial personnel such as bonds and licenses.

Now to get some customers. You can start with some small ads in the local classifieds, or flyers. Make a really nice, professional flyer that has the name of your company, what you'll do, your name (and if you're bonded), contact information and that you're happy to come to the localization and discuss their needs and give a bid. Start targeting smaller office buildings, complexes. Visit a couple of offices, ask for the office manager and ask if they are happy with the way their office is cleaned. Ask if there is a building manager and how to get in touch with them. Do this with several offices within the building so you'll have a better feel of how well the current cleaning company is doing. Then go to the manager and ask if he has time to talk or make an appointment. When you meet with him, have your flyer, business card and an introduction letter. After you've had a few accounts, you'll what to include a reference list and testimonials.

Once you get a few satisfied clients, you can ask for testimonials and referrals. As your business grows, you'll need to hire help. Make sure they are reliable, bondable and work fast and cheap! Be sure to do some research concerning what you need to do to be an employer...taxes, worker's comp, etc. Also, be sure to have a backup plan in case one or more of your workers doesn't show up one evening. Then, again, you may wish to stay small and only depend on yourself and family.

Having a part time office cleaning business can add the extra income you need. It's not hard work, you work evenings for only a few hours and can get paid daily, weekly or monthly. It's a relatively fast, low start up cost and simple way to generate extra income. Give it a try!!
