The IRS treats you as self employed if you make under a certain amount. Self employed people don't need a business license. I am a Self employed house cleaner.
I am a little confused...so I have a PT job not cleaning and I am wanting to start a cleaning business that should be ok...I cant afford to completely cutoff ties with my PT job as I do need it to pay bills...I do however hope that my business take off that I can devote FT hours to it...I haven't yet actually started my business as I am trying to do all the foot work like in my town I am required to have a license and insurance to perform any service related business whether it be roofing or house cleaning...and I want to be able to have all that in place before I start advertising so that I can devote all my free time from my PT job to my business
Sounds like you’ve really thought this through. You will have to update me after you start your cleaning business and let me know how it’s going. I’m routing for you!! 🤗
Hi Angela, I'm confused as in why my employer would have to know what I'm doing on my personal time? I would think as longer I'm not stealing clients or things that rightfully belong the the company I should be ok. Or not ?
Angela Brown yes Angela I totally understand your comments and I admit you are an expert however in my experience cleaning houses for different companies the only times I saw coworkers leaving to start their own business is when the employers were terrible and the pay was low :( I understand that's not everyone. Thanks for your time and your videos.
Hi Angela thanks for this video. I have being a top-notch maid for wealthy families in Los Angeles for about 18 years, about three years ago I started a cleaning business and it has being so shady with the maids. Many of them have steeled my clients, others never returned my equipment after their last payment. On many, I have invested so much time training people that won't even know the difference between basic and deep cleaning. I am so tired and I feel like I am running out of positive energy with all this (crap). Anyways thanks again for this videos I truly hope the maids be following you to learn how hard employers work to keep a REAL LICENSED COMPANY alive and running.
It all comes down to potential conflicts of interest. Employers realize that they and the employee have DIFFERENT interests: The employer wants to make money for the company by serving their customers, while the employee wants to make money for themselves by providing a service for the company. As long as those different interests are not in CONFLICT with each other, the employer/employee relationship can be a win/win for both. But moonlighting can (doesn't always, but can) give the employee interests that do conflict with those of the employer. For example, if you're delivering pizzas for two different pizza restaurants and Pizzeria A pays you more than Pizzeria B, you may be tempted to talk up Pizzeria A's product to the regular customers of Pizzeria B, thus shifting customers from one business to its competitor. If you are cleaning houses on your own while working for a cleaning company, you are probably pocketing a higher percentage of the customer's fee as profit from your own cleaning than you are getting paid by the company, so you may be tempted to try to talk the company's customers into dumping the company and hiring you directly. When you decide how to spend your energy (which is limited for all of us), you may put more energy into your work for your own business than your work for your employer's business, so that you are too tired to do a good job for the company's customers. An employer doesn't want to be on the losing end of such a conflict of interest. Most will allow moonlighting, but will require that you let them know and get it approved so they can be sure there's no conflict of interest. Long before I set up my book editing business, I used to work for a bank with such a policy, and I was able to get the bank's blessing to do book editing on the side as long as I did not edit books whose subject matter was at all related to financial services (so I wouldn't find myself aiding in the publication of a book that might undermine their interests). I considered this reasonable.

Good evening Angela how i book my appointment. I going a house cleaning
Telling a perspective client you have insurance makes you more desirable
You’re right, clients feel safer knowing you’re insured. 👍
