i think this slow down is generally across the board as far as domestic cleaning is concerned. At the end of the day 5 Bank of England rate increases in the last year and another predicted means peeps have to cut back somewhere.......my Client base had gone from 50 to 25 in less than a year and instead of losing a few gaining and few more, i have been losing a few, losing a few more, and gaining the odd one.
After 4 1/2 years of trading, this last 6 months has been the worst for not gaining new clients and I am off looking for pastures new. I cant be doing with the stress and worry of not earning enough to pay the bills, and am quite excited about joining the ranks of the employed.........something I would never have dreamed of saying 4 years ago..........more than anything I am looking forward to leaving work behind at work and not streassing avbout last minute let downs by staff or clients not paying on time and me having to chase em up (although the ones I have left are pretty good).
Those of you who can hang in there and make a success of their business during these financially tough times, I take my hat off to ya, you are stronger, braver and more resilient than me lol.....I've had enough and am pleased I have finally made the decision to hang up me cleaning hat
