starting a new cleaning business

[cleaninggirl84]

hi everyone.. iv joined mums net to specifically get some advice on setting up a cleaning business. me and my friend have been talking about setting up our own cleaning business and would be grateful if anyone on here could give us some advice as we dont really know where to start
e.g what insurance would we have to have and how much it costs?
how do you set prices on per house bearing in mind there will be 2 of us?
how do we sort out taxes?

If there is anything iv missed i would be truly grateful for any advice.
thank you

if you use search on the site and put cleaner in it - you will get lots of threads where people discuss what they are expecting to be done for a set price or in certain numbers of hours

There's someone on MN who has her own cleaning business - do a search for KatyTheCleaningLady's threads, I'm sure they'll be useful.

Hi cleaninggirl, did you end up doing this? How did it go?
