I've recently started a window cleaning business as my sole source of income. I had previously had a "cleaning business" that I mentioned in another thread on here, but it really wasn't much of a business, I was just getting hired for hourly work through the task rabbit app. I took a job after that, but it didn't work out.
So now I'm back to grow a home service business for real this time.
I've filed the LLC, got my EIN, and put myself up on Yelp and Facebook. Bought $1k worth of window cleaning equipment on a credit card and I use my personal vehicle for transportation.
Got my first job on Aug 21st.
So far, I've done 5 jobs for a grand total of $1986.40 and another $870 job scheduled for Tuesday.
And I've got three 5-star yelp reviews.
Currently most of my leads are from Yelp, I had a free $300 ad credit, so I've been using it at $10/day.
From here the plan is to keep taking jobs solo for the next few months and save money, I expect a slowdown in December and January might try doing some kinds of services during those months. Then once we get into early spring next year I plan to get a van and a helper, and the scale up from there.
I don't really think of this as an endgame fastlane business. But it will serve to give me cashflow to eventually fund one. Looking forward to scaling this for the foreseeable future.
