Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to say Hello. I'm in Florida and run a small family owned cleaning business.

Welcome---Join right in---What sort of cleaning? That is a broad field---Mike----

 

[SimplyScenic]

Yes it is, or so I am learning lol. We started off doing residential cleaning but I get a lot of request for property preservation cleaning lately. I did my first 17 empty houses(on next day last minute notice lol) last week for a prop preservation company but, haven't got paid yet- so I may have just learned my first hard lesson.... I'm considering attempting new build cleanups but I'm still in the research phase.

From what I understand,the property preservation business is tough to collect on---lots of loop holes in the contracts----good luck with those---

Get a good deposit with a signed contract.
Then take to small claims court if they don't pay.

 

[SimplyScenic]

Yep, great advice!!! I already got the lien paperwork, waiting to see if I can work it out without having to file the lien

Most cases all I had to do was get the lein paper work and send it to them. They will then usually pay.
Good Luck!
