1. Get licensed and insured. Don't worry, this isn't very expensive. In fact, licensing is generally only $50 for a whole year. Insurance can be very inexpensive as well. You can give a small down payment and then make monthly payments. You can find some very cheap insurance coverage by shopping around, just like you would for car insurance.
2. Getting customers. Opportunities for you to obtain an office cleaning account are within a few miles of your home! There are small offices everywhere and all offices need to be cleaned. You can drop off discount fliers, call the offices, or walk in and speak to them. If they already have cleaners, ask them what they pay, and beat the price!
3. Submitting bids. You will submit a bid to the people that are interested in seeing your prices. Pricing for office cleaning is done through square footage estimation. You will need a square footage chart and a bid form to submit your bids. There is a referral link below in the "tips" section where you can get an office cleaning square footage pricing chart.
4. Cleaning offices. Cleaning offices is generally done in the evenings when the office is closed and empty. This is a great benefit for starting an office cleaning business because you get to work by yourself while you do your cleaning. You will be cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, emptying trash cans, and dusting.
5. Billing customers. You will be submitting billing to customers every two weeks. You could bill them once a month if you choose to. You will need a billing form to submit to them.
