Give yourself  April - August

5 (months) / £10,000 = £2,000 pm

£2,000 / 20 days (gives leaway) = £100 per day to find in new work.

Start off with just your mate, then as the work increases add another man.

Remember though that at that target you will hit & exceed the VAT rate, so bear this in mind. There are two VAT catergorys you could choose from.


I would love to dedicate full-time too it for a few months, but I still need an income, and have commitents too other cleaners  :-\
If i had the resources to do this i would. For me i would need a canvasser as i hate knocking.

Sound like if you and your mate work hard at this you could be onto a winner

start 1st of and knock ever day till end of march,  just give him the work to do to the following day, but end of march should be full


We started a few week ago, he couldn't keep up with the first cleans, and the area we started is extra dirty, so I reckon I be limited but this as to how much I can knock at a time

Thinking about it, I reckon this might be an issue, might have to get on the glass myself for first cleans

once the first cleans are done then they are easy,

You can do anything you want in life, but is it realistic?

If you have sufficient tools then anyone can do what you are asking. Perhaps the first question you should be asking is do you have the tools: the manpower, similarly motivated people, financial resources, ambition, the desire to succeed, a sufficient marketplace, mental willpower, physical capability. If the answer to these things is yes then go ahead, if you are missing any of these things then quite possibly not.

Never said it would be easy, infact I reckon the opposite, but I do think it could be done....over the next 365 days I shall keep this post updated...let's see what happens....

whatever the concert system is, you still have to remember that £20,000 a year to the vat man, so down to a £100,000 allready, i would stick under the limit as a one man band , and earn £5000 a month imo

he isnt though, he is a canvessor and will be renting the work out

Anything is possible but you have to really want to get it. All those new customers will mean a lot of messers and time wasters to filter out. 50%? maybe more so you are going to have to canvass up a lot more than you will actually keep.

Same with staff, you are going to have a lot of issues to deal with there, Canvassing is going to be the easy bit.

unless your heart is in it,as a cleaner for starters at least,id doubt you would make it . thered be too many times in that first year where you yourself would have to prove your mettal on the mop and squeegee when the workload was extra high or somebody was  ill

To could build it no problem but to retain it is another question

i THINK YOU ARE UNDER ESTIMATING YOUR GOALS.HAVE YOU ANY EXPERIENCES IN THIS INDUSTRY.

Its possible. and dont let any1 eLse tell you otherwise look forward to seeing if u suceed. keep us all posted. To make you feel better i did it with limited resources. and i startd as a electric gas salesman

If you have enough money to throw at it with canvassers then it could be done.  I think you might need to prepared to run at a loss for a while too as it would be a while before recouping outlays.  If you have deep enough pockets to carry the initial stuff then go for it.
