If you’re highly organized and would like to begin a business that you can easily set up with very little capital, with a large potential for future gain, you can’t go wrong with creating an office cleaning business.
You’ll never run out of customers-people will always have to work and offices will always have to be cleaned. One of the great things about an office cleaning business is that the direction your company will take isn’t a set path. It’s up to you. How does this happen? Are not all office cleaning businesses created equal? No, they may be similar, but each office cleaning company has its own unique edge. This is where creating your business plan comes in. Your business plan doesn’t have to be a detailed map of where you want to go. You can create one to refer to as a guide as your business grows, a check and balance, if you will.
Here are a few tips for your office cleaning business plan:
Write it down. The very first thing you should do is take the time to write it down. It doesn’t matter how long or complicated you want it to be. It can be just a short, one page thing or a small notepad file in your computer. The important thing is that you write it down so that you can refer back to it in the future.
Be clear about your goals. Why do you want to run a business? Are you aiming for financial independence or do you just want to supplement the income you already have. Where do you see your office cleaning business in six months, a year, two years? It’s easier to break goals down into six-month to one-year intervals to give yourself some flexibility to meet these goals.
Know where to base your business from. Are you planning to go full time or part-time? The office cleaning business is a great part-time option because you will be called in before and after normal working hours. Are you planning to be available 24/7? Knowing this will help you determine whether or not you want to run the business from your home or lease or rent a space for your business.
Decide who you will be offering your services to. Are you going straight for the big companies in your town or will be offering your services to smaller, more local businesses? This will help you determine the prices of your services. Call up the cleaning services you know about and inquire about their services to know the going rates as well.
Writing down these four things can help you create a business plan that you can be proud of. Not only that, you will be surprised at what comes flowing out of your pen or what you type down.

Great article! I want to run my own business someday, so this will come in handy! I want to buy a business before I start one from scratch. The only thing is that I haven't had much luck looking for one that I like. Any suggestions? Thanks
@Jonathan, I suggest checking out BizTrader.com. It's an online global marketplace where you can buy, sell, and invest in small business. It has a wide selection of businesses on sale, and it includes franchises and independent businesses. Check it out and good luck!
