You could try a book I read and was very informative to me. "Starting a business" for Dummies. The books are very friendly meaning that it uses language easy to understand. They also come with a cd with forms and legal documents you could use as outlines in your ventures. Very helpful. You can find them at barnes and Noble. I spent $30. well spent. good luck

The cleaning industry has two primary market groups: consumer and commercial. The consumer arena consists primarily of residential maid services, along with carpet cleaners, window cleaners and a variety of other cleaning services required on a less-frequent basis.
