Becoming an entrepreneur: open a cleaning company

Continuing our report into the world of traditional and manual activities, such as cleaning companies. In this third part of our report we will begin to talk about the legal form that may take an activity of this type. Just the legal form may constitute the basis of the success or failure of a company. We understood through a careful search of websites that are managed by business realities small, medium and large, and even telephone calls made by witnesses on the fly during the search for entrepreneurs willing to give an interview. The interview with a specific operator, there is, but they are useful tips, but very useful for beginning to move in the development of enterprise in the domestic cleaning sector and business.

OPENING A CLEANING COMPANY: VARIOUS TYPES OF ACTIVITIES

Cleaning companies, like other types of companies may have different legal form. At the beginning, who operates a kind, opting instead for an individual firm, but this legal form often does not allow adequate room for growth, especially to win a slice of the market very wide. He opts for the limited partnership, limited liability, but also for co-operatives with limited liability. There are also family-owned cleaning companies. With time running the company and as individuals, as time does not stand up to the needs of the company itself, you should start with a family business, involvement in a spouse, in-laws and children. Offer a cleaning service, pest control and sanitation for civil engineering and business, is not stuff you can play alone. Keep in mind that the administration of a cleaning company you will always need workers and qualified employees. A cleaning company with a catchment area of metropolitan and provincial level also needs 40 workers to operate. So if the investment to set up a cleaning company on the front gear and vehicles is usually bearable, becomes heavier if you need to recruit staff.

Open a cleaning company: The cost of staff

The remuneration for the work requested in hours and also that employees who perform the service are physically counted compensation for hours of work that accumulated during the month, will give life to the salary. To get an idea of what to ask the customer for the service and how much to pay for the workers there is a tariff by the Ministry of Labor(italian) signed with trade unions and other associations, where they are fixed hourly rates for staff. Last Negotiable category is updated in December 2007. There are also hourly rates that vary according to the geographical area of activity. The average cost for a part time worker from a cleaning company is around 14.18 euros. The hourly wage for a worker at the first level is 6.26 euros. In the North the average cost per hour is 13.90 euros to 13.76 against the South, for the workers of the. 14 euros, however, the hourly cost for those of the second level in the North, South and 13.82 euro cleaning companies must comply with the rules on work safety for staff, whose annual cost (medical ETC.) is 150 euros per worker (Legislative Decree 81/2008). The real economic investment firm is in the cleaning staff, and this is the most critical that the industry faced. Payrolls must understand, in fact, other charges, INPS, INAIL. During the global economic crisis, lack of liquidity of companies, late payments to suppliers, they have put a strain on the survival of those who complain about too many taxes to pay and little revenue in good time. In addition, competition in black-cleaning operators and the tendency of some clients to entrust the service to immigrants, including non-regular. On this second front, the cleaning companies have reacted brilliantly, taking and adjustment in them, many non-EU citizens, demonstrating that competition can be easily overcome with the integration and not with intolerance.

OPENING A CLEANING COMPANIES: EARNINGS

In terms of liquidity is lacking, however, the game becomes more difficult by making the very difficult market presence for small businesses. Some entrepreneurs who were interviewed considered very negative outlook for the future in their field, is not recommended for young people with little funding available to start up an enterprise as a cleaner in this critical time. We are thinking of investing in a cleaning company, nowadays, can be difficult for a 45-year-old who lost her job and needs to have an immediate income to maintain themselves and any family, but may be a path stimulating for a young man under thirty who wants to bet in manual activities. The return of economic activity of cleaning, there is no immediate and may take a number of years to glean the right number of customers. If you have 20-25 years can be expected even 10 years to succeed, but if you are over thirty, thinking of having a stable job to the 45-50, it becomes a prospect unthinkable to be pursued. To shorten this time of reentry, cleaning companies, small and large, have learned to put in place, a tactic very important to diversify the activities.
