To run a small carpet cleaning business, you need to have a dependable well maintained van to hold your aquipment and get you to your jobs. You need a good vacuum, and quality equipment if you are to clean carpets effectively and thus get some referral work.
Advertising and Marketing your Carpet Cleaning Business
You need a name to advertise, if you end up with a web site this may be your domain name too, so choose it wisely. Then try to find an area that has a high demand and little supply for your carpet cleaning services. Focus your advertising dollars in this area for the greatest return on your investment.
Once you have your geogrphical location picked out, you can buy names and addresses called hot lists, set up a post card mailer, or get in with the local coupon mailer. If you are starting on a shoe string budget, tacking up fliers to telephone poles at busy traffic lights is bound to get the phone ringing too.
Setting Up Your Business
Now that you have your business name, go to the town hall and register your little carpet cleaning business, and in massachusetts you should register with the state. With your business registered you can go to the bank and set up a business bank account. For now doing business as a sole proprietor should suffice.
Go to your local printer and get some stationary; business cards, envolopes, and invoices. I recommend getting a CMS (customer management system) too.
Insurance
The last thing I would recommend is getting some liability insurance to protect your self, in case you accidentialy destroy something worth some money.
