SETTING UP A CLEANING BUSINESS

We are looking at setting up a cleaning business and just wondered what the prospectus is likely of gaining work , we already have a successful one in the Uk but looking to open in the coming months and a few additional add ons like key holding and pre let cleans also help sell your property cleans. One of cleans.  Would be interesting to see the response and replies.

Hi 

no we don’t do illegal Buisness and we are in the process of going through the Solictors so we see your response had some what’s intrusive and as we say don’t always judge a book by the cover you may well be in for a surprise we haven’t run a successful buisness for 10 years doing it illegal and not do we intend to we’re not that kind of people 

thank for your reply 

but do keep your comments to your self  

I can't see angel's response as it's been deleted although I can guess the gist of it.

Whereabouts in Spain are you thinking of setting up? Problem with having a cleaning business at private homes is that there are many people who do it under the radar. No setting up a company, doing it for friends to start with and then expanding but not declaring any income and you'd be competing with them. 

There are a fair few who do do it legally and some of them seem to do very well but you'd have a lot of competition depending on where you intend to move to. The cost of setting yourself up is also very expensive to start and you have to pay (I think) around 250 euro a month social security whether you are earning money or not. Then, of course, there's the licences required to set up a business as you will be autonomo (self employed) and would need someone to complete your tax returns, at least initially and if you intend to have people work for you then that can be very expensive as well.

It's been said many times on here, the only way to leave Spain with a small fortune is to arrive with a large one.

So saying, if you have the experience and can offer a bit more than a mop round and wash the sheets then you may get a bit more business. It may take a while to build up a customer base but, if you are good, word would get around and I know one (legal) company here who does quite well and have expanded into the estate agency business as well.

Best of  luck in whatever you do. 

Thank you for your good comments which is of some interest. And extremely helpful we will update on here
