FROM FIRST VISIT TO FIRST CUSTOMER
Plan your launch.
- Choose regular, deep or move-out cleaning. Write down what is included and excluded.
- Test a small job and measure each worker’s actual time, supplies and travel.
- Check with your city, county and tax agency: licensing, home-business rules and service taxes vary.
- Ask an insurance broker about liability, equipment, vehicles and coverage if you hire staff.
- Agree on access, pets, delicate surfaces, cancellations and permission for photographs.
- Before offering recurring work, record costs, payment and customer feedback.

Price a visit.
Use your own costs. Two people working three hours means six worker-hours.
Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin). This is not a market rate. Include your own labor and a share of overhead; check taxes separately.

Business structure, permits and insurance are separate decisions. An LLC does not replace licensing or coverage. Review risks and local requirements before taking customers. Hazlo can help with formation; an adviser can review your specific situation.
