Starting Janitor Service Business that Makes Money

Although you may think that a janitor service business isn’t full of excitement, I find this business to be very fun, lucrative and down to earth. This business is perfect for someone who wants to work hard, make money and be independent. In addition, a janitorial service business is always going to be needed, both in good economic times and otherwise. A janitor service business could be the perfect fit and even if you have been to college, we hope to help you get a generous raise.

1st of all, a janitorial service business is not about cleaning. It is not maid service although somewhat related. It is about providing a quality service and a competitive price and marketing yourself effectively to other businesses and commercial facilities.

Believe it or not smaller accounts typically bring higher margins. When my grandfather couldn’t find any work for his four sons during hard economic times, he decided to start his own janitorial service business. They cleaned offices for doctors and lawyers for a large profit. The money he was making allowed his sons to pay for their own college. It ran as an after hours business, so it was a business that he could run at the same time he was working a regular job. My grandfather ran this business quite successfully until his four sons graduated from college.

What does a Janitor Service Clean?

Janitorial services typically clean businesses, hospitals, law offices, dental offices, doctors offices, schools, retail store, warehouses and most type of commercial buildings. A lot of times, it is not worth it for a small business or company to hire, keep, and train their own janitors. If they could hire out the janitorial service it is one less thing they have to worry about. Most janitorial services are either late at night or early in the morning when no one less is working.
