TLDR: My first big cleaning client (a daycare) pays $2,000/month, but with this being a daily account M-F at 5 hrs a night, just with labor and taxes, I’m losing money. Not even including overhead ( supplies, equipment, stripe fee, transportation, etc ) I’d need to raise their rate $1,000 to make it worth it, but I’m afraid they’ll drop me. So I started a commercial cleaning business, I got my first client, a daycare M-F, general cleaning but I charged the rate for $2,000 a month, it takes me around 5 hours a night. Between overhead, my labor, taxes etc I’m negative every month just between labor and takes. I take the whole $2G to pay for bills and overhead and not putting any money aside for taxes (I know stupid) either way it’s been over a year and they are very happy with me and recommended me to other franchises nearby but I came to the realization if this account is going to work I need to increase per month rate right now I’m working for $100 a day but I really should be at $150-$160 a day but I’m afraid they will leave me if I do this as this is a big increase. I have a second client at $300 a day 4 times a month and it’s a lot smaller and easier than the first account. I’ve been trying to grow but it’s been pretty difficult what’s should I do with this first account ?
