Title: if you had 100k to invest in domestic windows cleaning
Post by: richywilts on April 02, 2013, 09:52:57 pm

theoretical question

if you had 100k to invest in domestic window cleaning to spend on vans, advertising, canvassing, large leaflet campaign like pryors

do you think the investment would pay for itself and how long would you think it would take to recoup investment

what size operation would it be how many vans, staff

has it ever been done?

Buy a round, say paying x5 cleans, instant 20,000 month business
I,d of thought it would pay for itself quicker than alot of other
Industries.

Depends who's running the business. I'm guessing your thinking of a business loan. Someone with a really good business brain and work ethic would do it.
Unfortunately it would be an instant road to ruin for others.

just curious if anyone has used an investment of such sum to grow there business or how others would spend it etc

i know jv price had a £1,000,000 investment in the commercial business but not heard of any domestic businesses having large investment
