A business plan janitorial service needs to show what the market need is for custodial assistance and what the average rate of work might be so that your revenue forecast can be pinned down. Will you offer cleaning assistance to residential and commercial customers both, as most janitorial services do? What are the particular areas of expertise you'll have and what sort of building size will you seek out? How do you gain clients and what is a typical week's workload look like for you? You should have working answers to these questions and be able to address the following questions in the business plan:
• How do you intend to market yourself to potential customers?
• What sort of janitorial staff do you have right now, if any?
• When do you need to bring on new staff and at what salaries?
• What other janitorial companies are you competing with?
• What experience do you have in this area or work?
The experience questions can be answered by using your resume to craft a bio description such that all readers understand what you bring to the table; the same is true for your key staff people. If you have pressing team gaps, highlight them. For the financial model, it is best to estimate five years of revenue and expense data -- show a sales forecast, break-even analysis, profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and a cash flow and appendix for year one's major figures.
