Despite the worsening conditions of our economy, quick-thinking individuals still manage to find success in opening niche, but profitable businesses. These businesses prove not only to be very financially rewarding, but they also have the ability to elevate the status of the people who make the decision to take their life into their own hands.
So if you've been feeling like something's not quite right in your career life - or you'd just love to be your own boss for a change, now may be the perfect time to try and follow in their footsteps.
The important questions you need to ask yourself before you go ahead are: "Am I ready to do what's needed to take charge of my own time & life?" and "Do I want to be able to do what I like, when I like?" If so, continue reading this article...
One niche business that has shown an upward trend in terms of income growth is the Commercial Cleaning Business. According to a recent statistic from the U.S. Department of Labor, a cleaning business is one of the most lucrative businesses to have in the industry. True, a cleaning business doesn't sound as glamorous as a restaurant or a retail business, but for sure it will make you money.
And if you're still not convinced, here are some of the benefits of starting your own Commercial Cleaning Business:
1. It can be very lucrative. The benefit of creating your own cleaning business is that you can grow your business as big as you want it to be. Some owners have even ventured into franchising, because there really is that much money to be made. In your first year, you can earn as much as $100,000.00 with the right amount of research, determination and commitment.
2. There is a monthly guaranteed income. Some businesses fall short of generating regular income due to the nature of business. But with a commercial cleaning business because the service you provide is needed every day, week, month and year - it's a recurring monetization model.
As long as you keep doing a good job, your clients will want to get your services. You can also expand the list of services you offer (called cross-selling), and it is the perfect business to thrive on referrals.
3. You don’t need to be an expert to create your own cleaning business. While other businesses require hands-on training, qualifications, and years of experience, this business is "ready to go". A commercial cleaning business is rather intuitive - all you need to know are the basic equipment requirements, how to get your license and business insurance.
The rest is really more about following a proven business system and reaping the results. In fact, with a little bit of start-up capital, you can outsource the entire operations from day one - so you don't even need to know how to clean!
4. You can set your own work hours. Another brilliant thing about this type of business is that you can dictate your own working hours. You don't have to work full time at it, so you can decide to work mornings, or just afternoons. As long as you get your clients, and are happy with the amount of money coming in - you choose how long to work for - that's what quality of life is made from. Some owners still work as a regular employee while having a cleaning business on the side.
5. You can work from home. Just about everyone I know dreams of working from home - it seems to be the IT thing. Well, with a Commercial Office Cleaning business of your own you can manage your business in the comfort of your home. No more rush hour driving and exorbitant gas fees. You won’t have to go to your clients every day. All you need is a phone and an internet connection to update your clients and manage your staff.
6. You can expand your business, i.e. it's scalable. Diversification and growth is key to the longevity of any business. The beauty of having this business is that you can introduce new services, which are connected to your primary services. You can add and cross-sell to your existing clients other services like, carpeting, plant-scaping, and even office repairs - your imagination is your 'oyster'.
But don't for a moment think that having a Commercial Cleaning Business is like being a part of a get-quick-rich scheme. The process of starting and managing it is the same as starting and managing any type of business.
You'd have to put in the hard work initially, and you'd have to - pay taxes, secure licenses, and most importantly - get clients. But once you have established your clientele and your name in the business, you’ll soon reap the rich fruits of your labor. You won’t earn millions overnight, but with careful research and planning, this goal is a perfectly achievable way to take control of your family's and your own futures.
