If you had to start it all over again, what would be your first step?
I’m wanting to start my own window washing company, as I live in a rather large town, and after doing some serious market research, it seems that only a couple of companies offer it, and it’s usually one of their secondary or tertiary services.
I own / operate a pair of other successful businesses in my city, but they’re nowhere near this industry. However, I would effectively start off with a Book of Business full of contacts, who trust me, in all of the biggest commercial properties in the city.
My question ultimately boils down to this: How do I start?
I’m not asking about getting a business license, or registration of an LLC, or that kind of stuff. I’m talking about equipment.
I am happy to buy something that’s $500 over something that’s $50, as long as it’s 10x more valuable. However, I would like to be reasonable off the bat.
Additionally, to be pretty candid, outside of studying YouTube and this subreddit for the last week, I know not a ton about the job as a whole. So if I were to just go out and do it today, I’d likely forget to bring 99% of what you guys would tell me.
Thanks in advance!
