You're hopeless in the boardroom, you hate field work, but you can make a house spanking clean in a jiffy and without breaking a sweat. If you've been the Housewife Champion for House Cleaning for five straight years, don't you think it's time to make your once-underestimated talent for cleaning into a home business?

Estimate Costs for a House Cleaning Home Business
For a hundred dollars or less, you'll be able to purchase all the necessary supplies, tools, equipment, and materials for house cleaning. Some of it you might not even need to purchase because you already have them at home. Having a telephone, fax and answering machine, computer and Internet access would definitely be an advantage because it allows you more ways to entertain client inquiries. Expect to spend a bit more to acquire the appropriate license for your business and have some advertising materials made.

It's also advisable to consult an attorney and have him prepare a contract for your business. It's important that your contract protects you from being unfairly accused of theft, trespassing, or other criminal violations by unsavory clients. House cleaning may be an easy and simple thing to do for you, but it definitely takes a more dangerous tone when you're providing cleaning services for other people and entering the properties of others.

Estimate Return on Investment (ROI) for a House Cleaning Home Business
A year or even less is all you need to recoup your investment. For starters, you can charge your clients ten to thirty dollars per hour or a Fixed Rate per session. If you wish to entertain clients from distant areas, you can always charge them extra due to transportation expenses.
