Most new cleaning companies that want to start earning revenues right away without spending too much money start by getting there work from other janitorial cleaning services companies. This is the easiest and most cost effective way to start earning money as a cleaning sub-contractor. But in order to be considered as a legitimate sub-contractor, most companies will require you to carry liability insurance, WSIB coverage, and have a registered business of some sort. You can get more information on opening a janitorial business by visiting our article page on our website.

So the question is how do you get involved with other cleaning services companies as a cleaning sub-contractor? First, start by going to your local chamber of commerce to get information on the local cleaning companies in your area. You will need to decide what types of properties you’re interested in servicing. There are generally 4 types of properties: Commercial, industrial, residential, and retail. Of course, you will need to have experience in servicing whatever types of properties you’re interested in. If you’re a complete novice at the cleaning business, most companies will start you off with smaller accounts. There is an old saying that says “Never put the carriage before the horse”. If you lack experience, take the time to learn the tricks of the trade before you start advertising yourself and or your business as seasoned professionals. I would not advise anyone to get involved as a cleaning sub-contractor unless they have experience, and are committed to the business long term.

A couple of different ways to find more companies are the yellow pages, newspapers, internet, and of course networking. Make sure you get some business cards made so that you can hand it out to everyone you run into on daily basis. This will be the bread and butter of your business long term. There is no special formula on how and where to hand out business cards. As in every other business, it’s a numbers game. The more people you talk to, the more potential revenues you can earn. Everyone you meet is fair game. Even if they don’t need you, they might know someone in the future that may need your help.

Now that you have built your list of cleaning companies, you now need to contact each and every single one of them to solicit your services. Send them some information on your business, and references if available. Cleaning companies are always looking for new cleaning sub-contractors to service some of there accounts. Not all clients allow sub-contracting so please understand that not all cleaning accounts can be sub-contracted. But don’t let that stop you. Continue calling around, and sooner or later you will get offered work. I have met quite a few people that earn $15,000/month without spending a dime on advertising. They simply approached other companies and pick up enough work to keep them busy around the clock. They have no expenses, and earn complete profits on all of the jobs they do. That is a great way to start earning money right away so that you can re-invest to grow your business. Hope this article helps you in becoming a cleaning sub-contractor.
