I will canvass all of it on my own, my mate will clean with a lad, then contract the work out when they can't keep up I'm thinking canvass £1000 worth a month until October, then I have two months spare, to replace the leave it this month/I'll pay double next time/the canvasser said this and that brigade. I reckon it's possible

if you work on 50% of what you canvass will stay long term I would up what you canvass each month, from the rounds I have bought canvassed work does not have a high retention rate.

10k a month is possible but will require a load of hassle that comes with new customers, not plain sailing as many would let you think but I guess is possible if you have the right team.

there are a load of variables in this to this working or failing.

it is good to have realist goals, so I wish you luck anyway

Depends on how big the catchment area is. £10,000 a Month (not a year as some people are reading it) is probably what? 700 to 1000 customers on a five week clean? Maybe a lot more if they go for longer frequencies. Most sole traders might clean twenty in a day if they are not crammed together - only 400 a month with good weather so you'll need at least two cleaners maybe three. Don't forget all those first cleans.
To be honest I doubt you could build it that fast.

building it is not the problem, the work is

That's what I'm getting at. His mate won't be able to cope with the work on his own when the other is canvassing. Also three wages need to come out of the work being built, not just one. The canvasser prefers door knocking to cleaning but I bet he doesn't want door knocker wages.

Having read the post again he's only canvassing one day a week - in that case no way I think.

Also the post might be a bit misleading - as you, your mate and a lad are already cleaners are you looking to generate £10,000 a month from scratch or simply to top your existing round?

would have to get just over £193.79 a day canvassing, that for one person is a few large task and you would have to retain all work to keep to the figure, looking unlikely. buying work would be an option in month 3 or 4 maybe

We already have 1200 a month of established work, plus I've canvassed 500 in the past couple of weeks, so already around 1700-1800 per month, and if the right work comes up for sale in the right place I might buy some work

when you grow to lets say three times the size to keep it simple, you will have at least three times the headaches, staff, debt, vans, Staff, debts, sickness etc, ask anyone with a larger round and see what they say and domestics are a nightmare the bigger you get, also remember you lose a % when you hit vat as uping prices on domestics you will likely lose a large amount. all things to really sit down and plan out.
