I Want to Start a Window Washing Business
By Lance Winslow

Many people would like to start their own business but they do not have a lot of money. There are some businesses, which do not cost very much money to start such as a window cleaning or window washing business. Obviously, it does not take very much to start a window washing business because there's not a lot of equipment to buy.

For instance you need a really good squeaky, which cost in the neighborhood of $40-60 or a couple of them and a dual hole bucket. Also it makes sense to use distilled water or have some type of water softener at your home to make ultra-purified water to use and some good soap.

Of course it takes time to develop the finesse that you often a witness as you watch veteran window cleaners move the squeegee very rapidly across the window but that will come in time.

The most important thing in starting a window washing business is getting a good set of clientele and believe it or not many small-business retailers, which work in strip centers or small shopping centers or constantly bombarded by people selling window washing services trying to get their accounts and thus it is highly competitive. Residential customers are also quite good and that is less competitive, but it is mostly referral based.

Once you get in good with customers in a gated community or higher-end clientele and do excellent work you will find yourself with the full schedule. Perhaps you might consider getting into the window washing business. The risk is low and the costs are much less than other businesses and you can run the business from your home. Consider this in 2006.
