Being you said you sold it to your brother I would be tempted to ask him for your old customer data base, starting with that I would write a personal letter to all the customers and lay pure honesty on them .... Prodigal Son style. You left.....you realized that you love the business of cleaning their carpets and want to know if they will give you a chance to prove your enthusiasm and rededication of your commitment to them.

The        " I'm Back.........! but with new equipment and a new mission..... to be their carpet professional."

As far as equipment. This is always subjective. but being you asked what I would do. I would buy a good refurbished Butler unit. Because I know the quality that Butler puts into their refurbished units first hand.

Then build you business up one relationship at a time and if things take off.... Go new butlers or a Vortek
if Enough Commercial Volume is in your business Mix .

Yes Im going into carpet cleaning.

I dont need that much money.
 
I didnt ask for directions .....just a simple question on how YOU would do it based on the $$$$ amount.
 
Population??? assume its in your area.
Directories??? assume its in your area.
Portable or truckmount??? assume its your choice.
KEY word here is "YOU"!
 
I left details out for a reason......just work with me on this.
