Hi
Whats the daily average one can realisticly expect doing this after the first 3 months of business, I have read, up to £180 per day for an established business, I am thinking its prob more like £60-£100 per day.
I am trying to draw up a business plan and need an estimate of earnings so I can have some idea of what is actually possible against my own earning goals.
So after 3 months?
and what would it look like after 5 years of trading?
Looking for some honest figures here so I have an idea, as kinda in the dark.
I know it can be variable, but looking for a mean average among the posters on here.
Many thanks :-)

first questions you need to know the answers to is:
can i clean windows?!
able to work off a ladder safely?
and of course - customers needed!!

piece of string init
-
1st month = 30 x £10 customer = £300
2nd month = 50 x £10 customer = £500 (30 previous customers from 1st month plus 20 news ones)
3rd month = 80 x £10 customer = £800 (50 previous customers from 1st and 2nd months pluse 30 new ones)
It's very piece of string, as Trippy says.

£60 - £100 for an established business?????
You may as well go back to working for someone mate; your original figure is closer to the truth for an established business I promise :)
-
so up to £180 a day if you work hard for asome time?
that sounds ok.
-
sooner you start ,sooner you will know. dont delay or doubts creep in
-
If you work hard and have a decent round £180 per day is easily achievable; maybe not every single day due to the weather, but certainly more days than not.
But it will take time and wont happen over night.

well thats nice to know thier is that much scope to earn that much, so its easy to get £100-£120 then hey.
-
No its not easy to earn that much, it might take you years to get to that level....

If you have absolutely no business acumen and are prepared to work for peanuts, it certainly will take years.

For real? thats not bad at all, I am tryint to contact window cleaners in my area, want to work for a company first and get some experiance as blind at mo, but got passion and hard working.
Thats a good wage for 3 months, well done.
-
Can you afford to canvass for 6-8 weeks without earning?
I did this when I started and built a £2,000 a month round to get me started. It was a hard few months but in just over 2 years my rounds more than doubled..........It will take some hard work but if you want it the works out there.
-
It's a numbers game mate; just keep knocking and eventually you will have a round full of customers.
But you MUST keep knocking!!!!
-
awesome stuff guys, have some good info, i have posted a message on here, for someone to let me come out for a day with them so i can see whats its really all about . im essex based.
-
I used to be a postman for 8 years and did'nt have a stable round,therefore covering a large area within 3 large villages in the local district,I liked it that way because everyday was different,thats when I started putting my leaflets through their door along with their mail,Royal Mail done me a massive favour!

i would like to swear but I will get told off so I wont, £180 a day five days a week equals £46800 per year, now I seriously doubt very many have that much work after years and years let alone after just 3 months. Business acumen.....please

Dean,
From your friends and family find out what they pay there window cleaner, then try to find out how long it takes them. Then do the maths. Watch any window cleaner you see out and about, see how long it takes him.
Try to take into account variables like lots of together (close) work or to add a little premium to cover the travelling time from one job to the next. The weather, holidays and any sick/carnt be arsed days.
You need to do the research for your business plan, not come on here and ask what people earn as an average.
Geeezzz, its your business
