    A lot of this information transfers really well to my professional photography business. For example, I became a commercial photographer a few years ago, mainly because it was so much easier dealing with the "non-emotional" commercial clients as opposed to brides or families who have so much emotional investment in the images they want. I've also seen the power of subcontracting in my space, but it's a bit harder since the skill set for what I do needs to be relatively high. But good stuff!

      Hello! Depends on your experience and speed... but start with finding an hourly rate you are comfortable with and then just figure out how long it will take you based on the clients request. :-) I typically bid 3/2's at around 3 hours, but it really depends on the level of service they are requesting. :-)

    • @TheProfessionalCleaner
      @TheProfessionalCleaner  10 месяцев назад

      It really depends on the laws where your biz operates... so always be sure to be compliant based on those. But if you don't dictate the hours the subs work, dont provide them a vehicle or transport to and from jobs, and things like that... then typically they can be a sub. And the amount of training they need could be a factor too... but even the most experience subs will need 'some' direction on what to do at a job... in all industries, not just cleaning. :-)

      Sounds like you're on the right track! If you're ready to hire some help now, then the best option is looking for someone who is in a similar boat to you. Maybe they have a few of their own clients, but also have time to help you with yours. But it might also be good to wait until your schedule is full with your own clients and you are no longer working for other cleaning businesses... esp since this will let you dial in and build a client base that you're happy with. Just keep hustling and you'll get there either way! I'm proud of you! 🙂

    My cleaning business name is registered and I'm licensed and insured. It is just little ol me right now, no employees. What I'm trying to determine, is whether or not to start with one service or niche, or offer many. My 1 service I would like to try first, is Disinfecting with the electrostatic sprayer, than eventually work in more services as I go along. I think where I live, I may get busy too fast if I offer more services. Can you give me any advice as which service may be more profitable?

    • @TheProfessionalCleaner
      @TheProfessionalCleaner  Год назад +2

      Hi there! I am personally not a fan of those sprayers, as they can leave residues in some cases, and in others they aren't actually disinfecting properly due to the dwell times required to kill some types of bacteria. But I do know of others in my market that sell that as a service. I'm just not sure what they are charging or if they are finding success. But if you're going after commercial clients then I would just focus on general cleaning. That service offering isn't going anywhere, whereas the spray disinfection became popular during the pandemic, and the hype will fade IMHO. But general cleaning, will ALWAYS be needed. And in commercial you can totally limit what you offer. You just need to be up front with clients and say what you will do, and what you don't. For example, I don't do carpet cleaning or exterior window cleaning... but instead I just have vendors that I refer my clients to. :-)

    • @allofus5
      @allofus5 Год назад

      @The Professional Cleaner that's good advice, thank you. You mentioned you prefer to hire contractors instead of employees. Can you tell me why, and how much do you pay them hourly? I'm in Oregon, and if I remember, residential cleaners charge 25 to 35 an hour, and commercial is 35 to 45 an hour. I'm also nervous about determining how long it will take me to clean an office, whether 600 sqft to 10k sq ft. I don't want to under bid. Any tips would help 😊😊

    • @TheProfessionalCleaner
      @TheProfessionalCleaner  Год назад +2

      @@allofus5 You're welcome! Contractors are better IMO for legal reasons. You don't owe them benefits, paid time off, and so on. They work on an as needed basis. What I pay varies, but in my market usually $35+ an hour. This means I have to bid the jobs correctly so I am making my share, and go after the right types of clients, which is something I teach in my course. If you take any and every client, but those clients are just looking for the cheapest option, then you won't have the budget to pay your subs fairly, and they won't last. It's a business model that will leave you frustrated in the end. So finding high paying clients is absolutely key, and trust me, there are PLENTY of them out there. You just have to position yourself as a premium offering. :-)

    From my understanding I didn’t think you could “train” a subcontractor or 1099 person. That would make them an employee from what I thought the IRS says. I’m trying to go 1099 subcontractors on my accts but the line is very fine.

      Hey Noris! Excellent question and point, and you are right, it is a fine line. The laws vary from place to place, but there is an expectation that as the business owner you will be providing 'some level of guidance and/or direction.' So it really comes down to doing your research to see what the specific laws are in your area, and if in doubt, consult a legal professional. :-)

In that case just factor in the added expenses to your business of hiring them as a W2 employee, and go that route.

      Sorry for the delay! Def harder, but yes totally possible! Some start by just reaching out to other cleaning businesses who are struggling to find clients on their own. This is often referred to as the 'Remote Cleaning Business' model. I prefer to hire subs who work for me. They are technically their own biz owner still, but they aren't actively looking for their own clients, which creates more stability for my business. I am planning a video on this topic soon!

      Just noticed you put 'employees' in quotes... so if you are talking about legal employees (W2 in the US) VS 'subs' then that will be more challenging... but still possible. Just find some who are willing to join your biz while you start finding clients... make sure they know you're just getting started... and then they'll be ready to get to work once you get clients on boarded. :-)

    • @TheProfessionalCleaner
      @TheProfessionalCleaner  Год назад +1

      This varies from state to state, or country to country, but in many places a 'subcontractor' is their own business owner, meaning they would be responsible for their own insurance... both general liability and WC... if WC is even required where you're operating. I have some large commercial contracts that require WC, but there is language in the contract that also says it's not required if a sub is doing the work. This is one of the reasons I use subs vs employees... it makes the insurance requirements simpler. And it's not because I don't care about their health/well being, I absolutely do... but my subs know and understand that in many cleaning businesses, mine included... it's just what makes sense for them and for me. 🙂 All that said, this is one reason I recommend you find an insurance rep local to you... since they will know more about the requirements where you operate.
