How to Start a Pool Cleaning Business
A pool cleaning and maintenance business can be a great opportunity for a home-based entrepreneur or someone who would like to start a larger pool service business. Start up costs are minimal compared to many other types of businesses. Chemicals and other pool related supplies can be purchased on an as-needed basis, so storage shouldn’t be much of a concern.
Before you spend any money, do thorough research into all the costs that will be involved in getting started and maintaining a pool cleaning business. A business plan will be helpful. Figure out the costs for tools, supplies, vehicles and other items you will need for your business. Don’t forget insurance costs if you will be self-employed.
Below, you can see how to register your new swimming pool cleaning business. If you plan to work out of your home, you may have less restrictions.
