I started out of the back of a Fiat Bravo using a Numatic ctd 572, pile brush and a pump up sprayer from B&Q! Made £21,000 profit in my first year with that gear. Alot of bones for a 17 year old! Needless to say, I bought a van and Prochem SteamPro machine in year 2. Still got the brush tho! Tony
I agree with Colin on this one,oven cleaning is a good starting point, I started off with a low budget 4k, used oven cleaning for 18 months part time to raise enough for really good equipment for my commercial kitchen / extraction system cleaning business which was the main aim, would not have survived without the full time job tho, I am by nop means alan sugar but my best advice would be, research, research and then some more research, know your target market and also your local competition. It is always handy to have more than one string to your bow.Good luck, don't get disheartened you are entering a cut throat market where the customer expects to pay peanuts and has no Idea of the costs involved in setting up a cleaning Co.MCM
Wynne,Then run a Groupon campaign which means you don't have any marketing costs to build your business. Apparently you can earn over £300 per day doing this.Love it
I could be wrong, but i think you need 3 yrs accounts to be able to lease equipment, however best call and check, there might be away around it.Andrewps, i started with a grand in 1989, working along side a carpet sales business.

Credit cards are still the cheapest way to borrow, you certainly have an incetive to pay them off before the 0% deal runs out. You can still get 12month 0% deals.
