House cleaning is a great business with lots of benefits such as having a low startup cost and unlimited income potential.

5 Reasons Why House Cleaning is a Good Business

Unlike most other business opportunities a house cleaning business doesn’t have very many startup costs. In fact, you can get your house cleaning business started for under $200.

You already have most of what you need to get started

Since you can run a house cleaning business from your own home you won’t have all the additional overhead expenses a traditional business carries. No rent to pay, no additional utilities, no extra phone line, and no extra internet hook up.

Being a self-employed house cleaner means you can work the hours you choose. Whether it’s 7 days a week, just mornings or only on Saturday, you get to choose when and how often you work.
