I totally agree with you heartland, I actually contacted my local congressmans office last week and left a message regarding information...yet to hear back. I will probably give them a call back on Monday and make sure they didnt forget about me! :) Nothing is better than free money right? :) I'm glad you brought this up though, I wonder if anyone else on here as does something like this? Time for a new post! ]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 23:43:49 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158301&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158301 <![CDATA[New Business Start-up (business plan help) : Well..... when your carpet cleaning...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158296&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158296 Author: nightrider

Well..... when your carpet cleaning company is big enough to put a President or Prime Minister into power.....you too can have all the tax payers money you want . Tell your congressman that you want to buy 3000 truckmounts and employ 6000 cleaners and have an office staff of 200 and you just might get your money

Im not trying to start a political debate, and in all seriousness, with the government handing out money left and right to just about anyone, it'd be nice to see some of this "stimulus" money go to an entrepreneur trying to start a new business like yourself. I'd start there. Your interest will likely be less as well. You might even be eligible for a grant. ]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:41:17 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158295&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158295 <![CDATA[New Business Start-up (business plan help) : have you cleaned carpets before...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158284&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158284 Author: jaymark1

have you cleaned carpets before chad?

I was in my senior year of college, decided I wanted to own a carpet cleaning business(why I dont know) and wrote a letter to a guy in a town 50 miles away who was in the BBB. I worked with him, volunteered for a whole year. If you know how to clean carpet already your fine. But I would still recommend finding a business mentor who can help with everything from taxes to buying real estate and ect. Its been a life saver for me.

That about sums it up.....try to explain how you are going to get your customers, residential and commercial.....because they will ask ..... and if you don't know..... all the numbers and business bull means nothing, you can show them charts, scales, and calculated numbers that all look good on paper.....but when they ask about your experience, know how and salesmanship.....and you come up empty.....guess what's going to happen

One more question for you guys...I have been looking into JonDon quite a bit and was wondering if you knew if I could get a discount if I purchase all of my start up items from them all at one time. Also, do you guys reccommend any other supplier with better pricing? Thanks a ton!]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:06:54 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158172&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158172 <![CDATA[New Business Start-up (business plan help) : Thanks for the advise guys!

Thanks for the advise guys! Nightrider, I plan to request approx. 8k for equipment and chemical costs... I was told I would be better doing it this way than putting it on a credit card. any thoughts?]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:01:51 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158171&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158171 <![CDATA[New Business Start-up (business plan help) : (Don't Advertise Green cleaning???)...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6339&PID=158159&title=new-business-startup-business-plan-help#158159 Author: doug

(Don't Advertise Green cleaning???) That was the crase a couple of years ago. Most don't advertise it because at this stage most just do it. they have a green cleaner onboard the truck if needed. Once you gain some knowledge and do some research you may find that all green cleaners just don't cut it and most good cleaners are free rinsing and good rinses are available to get you the results you need. Just don't head out thinking that the so called "Green is the answer to everything?
