Richy you are guilty of totally over complicating this job it's simple pay guys to service the work you already have, sub contract to them or take them on as output workers so they get paid for what they do. get as many customers as possible to pay by bacs or standing order the rest send cheques. No thing for you to do!!!  Then you can either go and take up another job or just grow your business.
if only in reality it was that simple, there is far far more involved in a business than getting customers looking after staff and getting paid, wish three wasn't but that's life

I cant think of many others apart from tax and vat headaches.
Thats 1 reason that i chose a windowcleaning business , the simplicity of it all. Mind you i do have my lovely mother doing all the paperwork and job logging etc which saves me a lot of time and hassle.

I think that Richy is stressed out from whatever issues he has faced over the last year or so and imagines more of the same down the road. he has some bad paying customers, staff issues and what have you and fancies what he hopes is an easier life. If I was him, I would take a short holiday and come back full of beans and just get on top of the business.
Last thing I would want is a job with someone else calling the shots but maybe that's what he needs to make him see all the benefits of our wondeful profession  :)

What more is there window washer? 
That's what I do,granted you need good staff and best way to motivate them is to pay them well
I spend some of my time building my cleaning business and some of my time with other business interests.

I think that it all boils down to that old chesnut that when all is said and done, window cleaning can be very distressing at times.
