I am sure that cost you so much per hour per worker so it would have to be figured into the hourly rate you charged your customer. But the workers must have been paid less. I think for some people especially those that are not home or are elderly that peace of mind is worth a lot.
I know some people that use services and some have been very happy and some so so, the biggest reason if they were not happy is because often the people cleaning their house would change sometimes as often as we each cleaning, some only once in a while. I used to sell advertising years ago and had several cleaning companies as clients, they spent as much money advertising for cleaners as they did for workers. They always complained to me that the hardest part of their business was keeping workers, it was harder than keeping clients. |
It was LLC and not a franchise and I was the only employee. Yes I was bonded and insured.
