Start a cleaning business.

Busy households want the same trusted cleaner every week. You clean. Your team builds the bookings and finds the homes.

Where: Homes near you
Sells: To households nearby
Busiest: All year, and before holidays
You do: Do the cleans
Your team: Website, bookings, posts, reviews, email

Why it works

Most customers book weekly or fortnightly, so a full diary stays full. People search for cleaners near them and choose on reviews, which your team asks for after every visit.

A good vacuum
Insurance
