Since the beginning, janitorial bidding has been a great mystery to those who want to start their own janitorial business.  Usually most people find information from the janitorial company they work for. But, not all people get the right information. So they have to seek out a person or company that will tell them the right janitorial bidding information. Even then, the information may not be the right information to enable a person to give a competitive janitorial bid.

There also seems to be a misunderstanding of the different types of janitorial companies that do janitorial cleaning. For example, 1. Janitorial franchise 2. Janitorial Sub-contracting 3. Janitorial company. First a janitorial franchise is a company that you pay a franchise fee to so that you can operate under their name and use their unique business program. You will also pay a monthly fee for the contracts they provide you with. They generally don't and probably won't teach you how to bid on janitorial contracts. You will pay based on how much monthly income you want to make. The fees could be from little or none to a large amount based on what you want your income to be on a monthly basis. We get a lot of calls on this part of franchises. What we hear for example is that a person has paid to get a $5000 thousand dollar a month income, and they are only making $2500 per month. We feel that a franchise is good for people who don't want to find their own janitorial contracts. Someone who  just wants to clean buildings and not have to find their own business.  The next misunderstanding is about janitorial subcontracting. Generally, subcontracting is when you pay an up front fee of some where around $500 to $1000 dollars to clean a contract, plus a monthly fee.  You then clean the contract. In both of the above examples you never own the contract rights and can be replaced at the will of the company you are working for. So if there is a problem you could be replaced and then have to wait to get more income. We hear a lot of people complain about being replaced for no reason and then they are out of income for some time.  The third type of janitorial company is any one who starts up and runs a janitorial company, it could be a mom-pop operation, a group of people who start  a company or any other type of private company. No one company dominates the janitorial market.  But that doesn't mean there is not any competition. Statistics show there are well over 50,000 janitorial contractors in America, with the majority of these companies run by mom-pop operations, or small two person owned and operated companies doing most of the janitorial work in America today.  With that much competition anyone who is in their own janitorial business or who wants to start a janitorial business  will want to learn how to turn in a professional janitorial bid.
