Excellent list of start-up equipment/supplies and helpful tips. If you are
looking to start or purchase a cleaning service, this is the business plan to
use.
ResComm Cleaning, Inc. is a residential and commercial cleaning service. The
name reflects the business and services offered. ResComm will concentrate on
large residential homes and small-to-medium sized commercial buildings. This
market is less price sensitive and consistent with ResComm's strategy.
ResComm was founded in 2000 when Edgar Pekin decided to start his own cleaning
business from his garage. The purpose of this business plan is to articulate
what Mr. Pekin is thinking and provide a road map for the future. This plan will
provide the proper organization that ResComm needs to be successful. No outside
funds will be required, as Mr. Pekin has $16,000 to start the business.
Company Situation and Outlook ResComm Cleaning, Inc. will concentrate on large
residential homes exceeding 2,500 square feet and small-to-medium commercial
buildings with 10,000 - 40,000 square feet. Mr. Pekin has already contracted
with six homes and one business.
Start-up costs will be approximately $3,000 and a monthly overhead budget of
$2,000. The start-up costs include; equipment, chemicals, legal fees,
professional services, and licenses. Complete listing of start-up costs is
included in the appendix. Mr. Pekin will be purchasing a used 1996 or 1997 van
for $8,000 which will be paid over 36 months. The van will be used to haul
equipment and supplies to the jobs. A second vehicle will be purchased beginning
of the third year or after two employees are hired. This will add $300 to
monthly expenses and $8,000 to assets.
The monthly overhead budget includes; mortgage, utilities, supplies, van payment
and insurance, phone, and miscellaneous. Mr. Pekin will utilize his cellular
phone as the business phone. That way he can answer the phone directly and from
anywhere. Mr. Pekin has $16,000 in a savings account he will use to start
ResComm. The savings account will ensure ResComm has enough cash to cover six
months in expenses without any revenue. With the current contracts, Mr. Pekin is
confident the savings will not be needed.
