Default The business in question is...

a Window Cleaning business.

I've started three Window Cleaning businesses from scratch in three different cities (sold two of them).

The ONLY businesses approached are those who have dirty windows. And who are at ground level (gave up the high stuff when I sold my other businesses).

My business card's headline is "We Clean Windows" - reverse type.

And I have existing Window Cleaners do the work (Leverage) because hiring someone from scratch and training them has shown not to work.

All clients (whether they are serviced daily, weekly, two weekly or monthly) are billed monthly at the end of the month - after the servicing. All clients pay. Many pay Cash.

Once you get a client, they stay with you.

Combined with the repeatability, it's an easy-to-build business because each customer you get you keep getting money from over and over again. You do not have to keep getting new customers just to stay in business. Each new customer grows your business.

Any other questions, please ask.
