The catering and cleaning industries spell a big, fat C A S H for you. Consider these figures: The catering industry rakes in $5 billion a year while the home cleaning industry makes $92 million annually.
Now, if you love cooking and cleaning, you can cash in on them through your own legitimate home business! Indeed, why slave for nothing when you can slave for something? And that something is cold, hard cash.
Besides, for every person like you who loves to cook and clean, there might be dozens more who abhor these domestic duties and who will pay you to perform their cooking and cleaning for them. So, get your pots and pans, broom and mop and start your own legitimate home business!
Catering Services
The good news for cash strapped catering entrepreneurs is that the catering business nowadays is not just for big office parties and grand private celebrations anymore. Instead, you can start small by catering to private dinners with just the family and a select few guests to feed and serve.
You only need to prepare appealing food based on the clients requirements, deliver it on time and in perfect condition, and serve it with ?lan. Sure, it can be difficult at times because you have to take client criticisms with graciousness far beyond the demands of family criticisms but with patience and perseverance, you can establish a solid reputation and a solid client base.
And to make it a truly legitimate home business, you can follow this short checklist of the things you will need:
Fully equipped kitchen with sufficient space to handle your catering appointments
Full complement of food service equipment and accessories
Business license that attests to your compliance with the rules and regulations of the food service industry, including certification from the Board of Health
Food delivery vehicle even if it is initially just your trusty sedan
Employees to help you out even if these are just your hubby and children at first
Marketing and business plan to serve as your plan of action
You have to take note of the business license because this is the determining factor for any legitimate home business. Otherwise, you can just close shop before authorities swoop in on your business, not to mention that having a name to the business is great for marketing purposes.
Cleaning Services
If you love cleaning clutter in the house, many busy people will love to pay you to un clutter their houses, too. In fact, you can start in your neighborhood and eventually branch out into other neighborhoods when you have established your reputation and you have employees to help you make other people s homes spic and span.
Also, this legitimate home business is the cheapest to start. All you really need are:
A few cleaning supplies, many of which you can scour from your own cabinets for the first few appointments
A few cleaning equipment like mop and broom, which are very inexpensive
Knowledge how to use both the cleaning supplies and the cleaning equipment
Willingness to get your hands dirty cleaning homes
Meticulous attention to details and corners
And it never hurts to advertise your services in the Yellow Pages, post posters all over town and provide flyers to passersby to drum up business!
With either legitimate home business, you can expect to earn from $20,000 to $30,000 annually, often on a part time basis. Not bad for turning slave duties to cash cows!
