Profitable Commercial Cleaning
Admin
For an existing cleaning company, expanding into the commercial cleaning arena takes only a nominal additional investment and can significantly increase the valuation of the company.
There is a large amount of work in the commercial arena. Professional corporate offices, restaurants, schools, hotels, movies theaters, health care facilities, casinos, commercial vehicles such as buses and aircraft, apartment buildings, timeshares, etc.
More and more commercial and institutional facilities are discovering that total floor care is not a job for amateurs, stimulating the resulting growth in demand for competent, skilled, commercial cleaning services.
Commercial accounts also provide a great referral source; employees and patrons of commercial accounts will often inquire and use your services.

by Lee Pemberton - the Educational Marketing Guy
Most all businesses are very busy at the management level; and their time is too valuable to constantly shop and negotiate for price.

They insisted on me grooming (I prefer "grooming" over "raking"; it's more professional) the carpet after every cleaning. . . .
