Professional Cleaning Services Startup
I learned that there is a predetermined path that people were meant to take while I was still pursuing my bachelor’s degree. Luckily, when I was done with school, I worked for a company for two years. I was not impressed by the “Monday to Friday thing or the eight to five thing” under a supervisor. I was craving for an entrepreneurial life that would fulfill my ambitions. Attending business-related conferences exposed me to business ideas. It was frustrating since I had just resigned from my previous job. After consultation and exposure in workshops, I decided to start a professional cleaning service to find my fulfillment.
At first, it was challenging to start since it needed much capital. I opted to start it from home and rent the cleaning equipment. I borrowed loans to pay my employees since I could not run the business myself. Besides lack of funding, there was competition. Finding clients was demanding. The majority of the people trust the companies that exist in the market. (Tabassum et al., 2020) It demanded the design of marketing materials that laid out the services offered and the uniqueness of the services. After some time, I got a few clients with referrals from my social network. The business flourished, and I managed to make it a standalone business and, after that, purchased my cleaning equipment. I bought a van to transport equipment and employees to the clients’ location to run the business smoothly.
Accumulating various sets of experiences from the clients I worked for made me understand what the client wants, ensuring the place is clean, beautiful, and healthy—respecting the space and cleaning their place like my own home. I offer free services to clients who do over five referrals to my company to boost the business. Risking is part of the reward. I, therefore, introduced additional services of maid residential cleaning services without considering whether or not I would get clients. The service attracts many clients, generating huge profits since most clients lack time to do their house chores. The business so far has a massive growth. To reach many clients beyond my location, I hope to open other branches where I frequently worked in the past. There is a demand and emerging opportunities for cleaning services. Thus, I will capitalize on equipment advancement to stay in business. Now that I understand my nature, I will not stop taking risks for the company’s progress.
