Beat the credit crunch with your own window cleaning business

Be your own boss with a window cleaning businessThe economic downturn has left many struggling to make ends meet. If you're looking for some extra money and want to be your own boss consider becoming a window cleaner. Not only do people always need their windows washed but your start up costs are also limited so you won't require a lot of capital.

Window cleaning is also a very professional occupation. Not only has it been rated as one of the most potentially dangerous ways to make a living, but there is a lot more to it than just using a bucket and sponge. The tools are complex and the cleaning technique must be learned.

One of the best ways you can establish yourself as a professional window cleaner is by getting qualified. The City and Guilds NVQ2 window cleaning qualification teaches people valuable skills that are not only related to the technical aspects of window cleaning but also the managerial side - how to garner new business, how to keep customers and how to promote your business. It's a great way to ensure your customers trust and respect you and keep coming back for more.

Best of all, in most cases the qualification is 100% government funded. The organisers have courses available all around the country so you'll never need to travel far.
