commercial and domestic, thats a load of potential work. We just stick to commercial, plenty of hassle there to keep me going Grin

Hope you do great, its a wonderful business to be in.

Hi Deb

Like you I am new to the business, only 5 months, we also do mainly domestic work.
but have now branched out into carpet cleaning as well. The only advice I want to give is keep reading this Forum, everyone here is so friendly and the advice is invaluable
Oh! and avoid price shoppers or you will soon be losing money!
Treat your customers with respect and do a good job and the word will soon go around.
Wishing you success

Regards

We are putting our fingers into many pies in the hope of getting a plum somewhere!!

We can then decide on Commercial or Domestic.

good luck with your new business

Remember one thing as you embark on your new venture, a caged bird has only itself to blame, a bear with honey has itself to feed, a man with no troubles is a friend indeed.
