Can you afford to hire a new crew lead?
A crew lead lets you take on more buildings. The wages start before the new contracts pay, often by six weeks or more.

The worked example
Here a new crew lead costs $4,800 a month and starts bringing in $7,500 a month after 2 months. The business pays $9,600 before the hire covers a dollar of it.
How to make the hire safer in a cleaning business
- Start new crew leads on the day a signed contract begins.
- Ask new commercial clients for 15 or 30 day terms instead of 45.
- Bill large contracts twice a month, so cash arrives closer to payroll.
