Fastlaners,
I have created a new (1 year old) retail cleaning business (Day Porters) and have my first major bid for 6 retails centers. I currently only bid and have contracts for smaller centers that do no need service 7 days a week. Therefore I am having problems coming up with a solid hourly rate.
Are there any fastlaners that own a commercial retail cleaning business (parking lot sweepers, pressure washers, security, etc) that can chime in on an hourly rate or how they go about giving a solid bid? I am not clueless, just having a hard time nailing down an hourly rate. I do not want to come in too low or too high for obvious reasons.
Yes I know this is taboo or whatever to ask, but I am a small company with 4 employees looking to break into the big time, the help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
