Very good advice from all. I have been going nearly three years. I have invested in training and good equipment. Be prepared to spend money (a lot of money) initially and ongoing in the early years on advertising. Word of mouth, referals and repeat business do take time to build up. My area in the NE suffers from a lot of low cost cleaners, it is hard to carve out a niche. As the others have said work will not fall on your doorstep you have to make it happen. Good luck on your venture.
