For those thinking about buying a business, Martin will share why he decided on that route instead of starting one from scratch, how much he invested to kickstart the business’ growth, and how he developed new systems to improve the workflow and increase profits.

I do window cleaning and started my own business, in just 4 months I have 90+ clients. It is easier than most people think if you're one to overcome paralysis over analysis. Just stop overthinking it and go out there and knock doors. It cost $0. When I think of the challenges stopping me from making more money it all goes back to me. 1. I get lazy and don't want to start my work day 2. I decide to stay home and work tomorrow 3. I settle for 1 or 2 sales... etc. The talk about easy work isn't literal but technical. Yes it is easy money and I'd rather be cleaning windows than working on a normal wage 9-5. I started with a bucket, double sided squeegee and a microfiber towels and started selling at the doors at low prices from $75-$200. Eventually after 10 houses I reinvested and bought myself a Di Filter and a waterfed pole. From there it was game. I was able to knock houses with 15+ windows in an hour if everything goes as plan. I was confident to start selling at $200-$500. The hard days are when I'm lazy and I have to drive 30 minutes across town just to knock on doors. (Note, I never had to pay for any ads) Is it hard? Mentally, yes. Is it as easy than they make it seem? It is that easy. Go knock on doors and find out. It literally takes 0 skill. My little 5 year old brother can clean a window with a waterfed pole. Off-season is coming and my play on that is switching business mottos. Instead of window cleaning I may look into gutter cleaning. I do have a list of clients I can re-sell. I also heard time/money ratio is pretty good on that and having to knock and talk to 100+ people a day. I'm confident I can sell any home service.

Gross 100k for that month. I wonder what the average is for the year and also what’s the NET pre tax. 8 employees, 360k debt to pay off each month for buying the business, insurance, maintenance and repairs, materials, marketing, etc. curious what the net is
@martinskarra6474 Жыл бұрын
For the year as a whole we hope to do around $750k. Payroll to employees is around $400k, marketing $45k, insurance $30k, debt service $50k, equipment and auto expenses $80k (bought 2 additional trucks this year), new Christmas lights $30k, other adm expenses around $45k. Should net out to around $70k pre-tax. We have a lot of agency over that number though. Reinvesting as much as we can right now so we can learn quickly, improve and grow as fast as possible

The techs make $30 / hour while in training. After that it is commission based, which means between $35 and $40 per hour on average.

@karlburmeister1552 9 күн бұрын
I used to do scratch and stain removal alot. Got a call for a bid about 15 years ago, 5 newly built houses. Dude hired an inexperienced window cleaner to do a construction clean on every window. He used a green pad on all of them and EVERY window was ruined. Window cleaner wasn't insured. It cost the builder tens of thousands to replace every window. Do your research and do it right.

Wow $12 an hour in America seems a little steep but I guess the cost of living makes up for it. Here in New Zealand the we get $20 an hour, which is the minimum. Then again, $4 for bread and $5 for milk. It's super expensive here.

I've been in construction here in the USA for 15 years and was shocked at that as well. Trash cleanup crew's here get at least $15, skilled trades are between $25-35. I made $11 my first year as an apprentice (2010), and was at $25 4 years later.
