Janitorial services are something that is going to remain in demand moving forward, and as such – these businesses were able to generate extremely high gross margins from their services. One of the reasons why janitorial services are popular or that building managers, property owners, and property management firms tend to outsource non-core functions to third parties. This substantially reduces their payroll and the associated taxes with it. As such, janitorial services fulfill this need on behalf of these types of businesses. The startup cost associated with the new janitorial service is pretty low. Typically, these businesses can be started for as little as $15,000 and reach up to $500,000 depending on the initial scope of the business and whether or not vehicles or can be acquired as part of the overall operating asset base.

Special attention should be paid to using industry-standard figures for comparable janitorial businesses. Beyond this of information, a full competitive analysis should be included as well given that the low barriers to entry for the industry has caused a number of third-party companies to launch operations in any small town, medium-sized city, or major metropolitan market.

A target market radius of 20 miles to 50 miles is usually considered standard for this type of company.
A janitorial service marketing plan should be developed as well. Within this document, a special focus repaid to developing ongoing relationships with property management firms and building owners within the target market radius.

A proprietary website should also be developed that showcases the services offered, preliminary pricing information, contact information, hours of operation, and related information regarding the business. While it is not necessary, most janitorial services will maintain a modest profile on social media platforms such as FaceBook, Twitter, and Google+. This is due to the fact that some smaller office owners will use social media for specialized recommendations for a janitorial service. Additionally, from time to time, a homeowner may seek to have a janitorial service come in to complete a substantial amount of cleaning in any home. However, the amount of money that is spent marketing towards the general public can be kept somewhat low given that most homeowners will almost never use a janitorial service during the course of their lives. As it relates to the website for the company, this should be listed among all major search engines as many property owners, property managers, and related entities will frequently use the Internet in order to find specialized services. As such, a search engine marketing firm may be hired to assist in this process given that it is a complicated and expensive process to become well ranked among major search engines.

The barriers to entry are considered low. For weaknesses, these businesses will always face a significant amount of competition as a progressive and business operations. While the barriers to entry are low in many people consider this to be a strength – it is great for a significant amount of competition within any market. For opportunities, these businesses are highly scalable and they can be expanded by acquiring additional vehicles, hiring additional personnel, and acquiring additional contracts for larger scale janitorial and custodial services. For threats, one of the things that may impact the way that these companies do business is the risk of automation. In time, there may be technological advances that allow for more mechanized cleaning of offices. However, many Jordan to janitorial services primarily operate in a custodial capacity and as such they are going to complete a number of tasks that cannot be readily automated. As such, the threats facing these business outside of competitive threats is somewhat limited.
