Competing with other office cleaning business in your area.

Competition is an essential point in the world of business.
It's not really a scary thing to have many competition in your
own office cleaning business, because competition means a sign
for the service demand. All you have to do is to study your 
competitors, in term of their office cleaning service price,
what kind of cleaning equipment used, quality of their janitorial
supplies...and so on.

Do a small research to find out about other cleaning businesses
in your area. Don't worry it's not that hard, you can even start
this research right now in your home. All you need is Yellow
pages, a paper to write down the list of cleaning companies, and
a phone. choose as many janitorial companies from the yellow pages
as you can, phone them, ask about their services and their prices.

Another trick is to ask other businesses that you know about the 
janitorial company that clean their places, like your family doctor,
your real estate agent, friends or family member who work in an office.
Ask questions about how they like their services, and how many days
their places are cleaned by the janitorial company. 
Try to record everything and then take your time to assess the
competition.

As you can see, it's not hard to research your competitors, it's
an extra step to add it to your own office cleaning startup, but
it can pay off.
