Ways To Supplement Your Income - Part 1

Contract Cleaning



This is a business that can start very small and grow very quickly. Busy families and small businesses can both use a reasonably priced service. There are several specific markets to consider. Young families are often so busy that weekend cleaning becomes difficult or impossible to do. Having someone on a regular basis has appeal to more and more working adults.
The elderly offer another growing market. This use to be limited to those people who couldn’t do the cleaning. But as seniors become more active and involved in retirement communities they want to spend less and less time doing things that others could do for them. This group also will have several homes and will be part time residents.

This opens up the possibility of including home maintenance when the owners are away as part of the service. Small business owners often do much of their own cleaning. This is not the most productive way for them to use their time. By providing them with reasonably priced weekend cleaning services, you are giving them back time they can use to help their businesses grow.
