Start a cleaning business
Clients hand you their keys. Being a registered, bonded company is what earns them.
What slows cleaning businesses down
- Clients who ask "are you bonded?"
- Recurring homes and offices on a spreadsheet
- Move-out and deep cleans priced on the spot
- Hiring your first cleaner the right way
What Service Boss handles
Bonded, and able to prove it
What a janitorial bond is, why offices ask for one, and the general liability cover that goes with it, in plain words.
Recurring cleans on a schedule
Every home and office with its visit day, notes and key details in the CRM, with appointments for the crew.
Deep-clean and move-out quotes
Rooms, extras and hours as quote lines, sent from your phone at the walkthrough and turned into the invoice.
Your first hire on payroll
Pay your first cleaner as an employee, with the payroll and records in the same place as the jobs.
Jobs you can quote and invoice
- Recurring residential
- Office janitorial
- Deep cleans
- Move-in and move-out
How it goes
A cleaner with 15 regular homes forms an LLC, gets bonded, moves every home into the CRM and hires her first employee in the spring.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
