Financial Target Planning For a House Cleaning Business

You need to have a detailed financial business plan to take your house cleaning business to the next level.

A business plan is the best way to go if you need to obtain funding from a bank or financial institution. However, here we’ll discuss planning your financial targets.

1) Plan backwards. So for example, if you want to turn over £50K in your first year, you’ll have to plan backwards of how much you need to turnover each month.

2) So your monthly target is £8000, how are you going to achieve this? Do you need to build a bigger customer base? Do you need to slightly increase your rates? Are you getting many cancellations – if so why?

3) Cleaning service. Are you or your cleaners doing the best job possible? Are you acquiring new customers through good word of mouth for your service? If not, why not?

4) Evaluation. You need to carry out an evaluation after every 6 months or so. Evaluate your financial targets, are you on target? What’s your monthy turnover, is it on target? If not, what are you going to do about it?

Of course there are going to be slow periods within the year where people are not thinking of hiring cleaners or that money is tight (just before and after Christmas for example).

Keep a close eye on your competitors and try to stay one step ahead of them at all times.

Remember these steps: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess and Take Action!
