| Compared to other businesses, a contract cleaning company costs little to start. Although entering the cleaning business can be more costly if you want perfection, those that know about cleaning and start slowly and watch their expenses can also enter the industry inexpensively—at least compared to many other businesses.
One of the bigger issues that often comes up when starting a carpet cleaning or contract cleaning business is whether you should go big and make it a franchise or just remain small. Many small cleaning companies have created or have joined franchises. There are certainly benefits to starting or buying in to a franchise—whether a carpet cleaning or commercial cleaning franchise—but then again we find people do just as well building their own companies from scratch.

You can choose to be a(n) House Cleaning :
- Sole Proprietor,
- LLC,
- Corporation or
- Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.
Apple Valley Business Tax Registration (
Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.
|
A(n) House Cleaning business using a fictitious business name in
San Bernardino County
i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n)
fictitious business name.
For instance you open a(n)
House Cleaning
business and you name it "Superior
House Cleaning
Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In addition note that in
CA
you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.
Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number.
I.e., a CA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) CA State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Apple Valley, Incorporate in CA or form a(n) CA LLC .
Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation.
There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.
If you do form an Services llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your House Cleaning business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Apple Valley business name.
Instead of just registering your San Bernardino County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in
CA or form an CA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
