From Window Washing and Landscaping to Pest Control, Graffiti Removal, Maid Service, and Yacht Cleaning, there is good money to be made in the service industry. And Cleaning Up in Your Service Business is by far the most comprehensive guide to starting, running, and succeeding in a lucrative and personally satisfying service business.
Why start a service business? Because, as the author points out, service businesses can be started with relatively little investment and can provide individuals the opportunity to own a business in tune with their own interests. And, best of all, service businesses are among the fastest growing small businesses in the country.
In addition to sound start-up advice, sample forms, and important contact information, this book goes a step further than any other book of its kind. For each of the 30 separate businesses covered, the author lists detailed pricing recommendations for the service provided. This information is typically kept "secret" by franchisors who charge their franchisees hundreds--sometimes thousands--of dollars to learn what Brian Appleton gives his readers. This alone will make Cleaning Up in Your Service Business the resource book of choice for those thinking about starting their own service company
