For cleaning company owners

Cleaning Business finance tools

A commercial cleaning company pays its crews every week or two. Its office and building clients often pay 30 to 45 days after the invoice. So the company carries more than a month of payroll for its customers before any of it comes back.

Common questions

Is residential or commercial cleaning better for cash flow?

Residential work paid on the day needs much less cash. Commercial contracts are steadier over time but pay on 30 to 45 day terms, so they need a bigger cushion.

Why is cash tight when we keep winning contracts?

Each new contract adds crew payroll weeks before its first payment arrives. Fast growth on slow terms uses cash, even when every contract is profitable.
