Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find funding for a cleaning service that specializes in green cleaning practices?

Friends and relations, The bank, borrow form a 401K, bring in some business partners. SBA??

Do you understand what "Green Cleaning" is?

The reason I asked this is that not all types of cleaning can be done properly using products that are considered "green." Any medical cleaning will not be done to satisfactory conditions using products considered green. In OR's, exam rooms, treatment rooms, procedure rooms, etc a strong disinfectant must be used to eliminate infections.

Green products can be used in general offices, warehouses, retail, etc.

Now with MRSA (staph), disinfecting is extremely important as this infection lives on surfaces for up to 24 hours where HIV stays for only minutes.

As far as funding Fr Chuck's advice is good. A cleaning service is one of the least expensive companies to start; can be done for under several thousand dollars initially. I would not over look liability insurance, very important.
