I'm writing a business plan but need to try and sort out my 5 year fore cast. As well as stuff i would need to start up. I know the cleaning stuff but what else

I think you put this thread in the wrong section.
This is the carpet cleaning section.
Next one down is windoww cleaning.
Next down after that is the  Cleaning section which is the one you need - no doubt get a better response.

A better approach is to focus on a specialized way of cleaning carpets. For example, you could market yourself as the best choice for steam cleaning carpets. Your ad should tell why your cleaning company is the best in the area. Your ad should motivate your readers to take action. One way to achieve this is to include a special offer. Offers that work well are discounts and bonuses.

I think the best way i would price is how much you want for a days work or half a day etc,that is how i set my stall out,and as joe said maybe best if you posted it inthe other setction.

Good luck either way mate..

Agree with Clinton; the easiest way to price is to decide how much your business needs to pay you per day, to cover all your costs and give you a living.  Then when you quote for work, you can simply think; quarter day, half day, full day, 2 days, etc and you have your price.

This is also how I price most of my work.
