Great question. I started my business in November last year and have already maxed out my schedule. I have hired a team of 3. I haven’t paid myself yet, there is still things that we need I am saving up for after paying my employees, just part of being a business owner! First and foremost is we started a compassion cleaning program- so some funds would be allocated for marketing and supplies for that. We don’t do things for clout of course, however it is engagement that is going to drive views which is going to pay for these cleans in the future. I pay my employees no matter what, even if we are doing a compassion cleaning.
The very first thing we need is a company vehicle. I own all my cars and they are all old, and starting to break down. I am paying for a storage unit to hold my vacuums, steam cleaner, additions supplies ect.., when a cargo van would hold this stuff just as well and allow us to be more efficient. I am currently fitting what I can into the back of a small Honda CRV & Toyota Sienna. Being able to fit everything into the van in an efficient way would save me storage costs and make unloading for jobs so much more efficient! Not to mention the amount of people who come out to get our info when we are leaving a clients house- the branding on the car would definitely get us more business.
Best of luck to all of you!
