    To start off, I've cleaned a few houses this past month just for some extra cash and realized doing this professionally could be very rewarding. I've done some research on where to start and how to go about this, and I've decided to just go for it! I've got about $8000 to invest, but I'm just not sure how to put it to use or where to go from here.
    I have all the tools and equipment for any residential job and ladder that does the job.... for now.
    So where do I start from here? What would be the smartest and most effective thing to do in regards to investing this much amount of money into a business?

    8k is alot to play with starting out window cleaning. I've known of some guys who started out with just $100 bucks and are established now.
    For starters:
    Liability insurance
    Website
    Advertising
    water fed pole
    Any add on services like pressure washing?

    How about some promoting through flyers and some social websites. Maybe even have some call it "spreaders". You pretty much pay them to spread the news of your business for you acting as clients.

    That's some interesting advices up there, mind if I take them too. I personally wouldn't be able to give you a clean nice response without a bit a research and asking around

    a place to work and call your company place or something? That'd be a nice tip though it's not really needed
