I recently wrote on home cleaning business. The figures I gave are in my home country. At first, the figures I calculated does not seem very interesting, a search on Google however reveals something interesting.
In America, home cleaners charge between $ 30 to $ 60 per hour. Some services charge $ 75 to $ 85 for a 3 bedroom home with 2.5 bathroom. This is quite a good business when you consider the points below.
1. Demand. Most people don’t like to or have time to clean their homes especially those in the higher income bracket.
2. Low start up cost. The tools you need are cheap and can be bought under $ 200. Although it depends how sophisticated you want to get.
3. A simple business. You don’t need to constantly catch up with trends like in technology or financial industry. Things don’t change that fast.
4. Choice. You get to choose who you want to work with, where and when. Your location can be in the same neighbourhood where you stay to reduce long commutes.
5. Growth potential. You can grow your business easily. As more and more people have less time, this service will be in demand. Provide good service, recommendations will come.

The challenge in many businesses is getting good staff to stay. Since home cleaning business is an easy business to enter into, your worker might undercut you and deal direct with your customers.
