Essential Cleaning Business Start-Up Checklist
Starting your business with solid systems in place can be a Game-Changer for your business. It’s going to save you time, keep everything organized, and give you a clear path to follow, making the whole process of starting and running your business so much easier.
When you're a house cleaning business it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the tasks that need to be done. You might wonder, "Where do I even begin?" or "What’s the next step?" That uncertainty can stop many people before they even get started.
That’s why having systems and checklists is crucial. They help you stay on track, move faster, and save both time and money. Plus, they help you avoid the stress and frustration that can come from feeling overwhelmed.
So, here’s your first checklist to get you going…
There isn’t one perfect way to start—just start!
Keep in mind that laws and state regulations vary, so make sure you check what’s required in your specific state.
Check to see if you need licensing, permits, etc. I highly recommend making an appointment with your local SBDC (Small Business Development Center) and visiting the IRS website: IRS Starting a Business.
Choose your business structure (typically DBA/Sole Proprietor or LLC).
Choose a name for your business.
Register your business name.
Open a business bank account
Get insurance.
Get your supplies.
Create a Facebook business page.
Get business cards.
Make flyers.
Start talking to people about your business.
Get listed in Google My Business.
