No, I have not cleaned for fifteen years for my company, the first two years I did occasionally when there was a problem with an employee showing up for work.
Now Ebb, I have over 215 employees that work 5 to 7 days per week. We have an Operations Director, 6 supervisors, three 2-man floor and carpet crews, 5 salespersons counting myself as I still am involved in sales and an office staff.
When you first started on this business did you work as a sub-contractor to like me or you work for some big cleaning company as a employee? Or you franchise?

Hi again, ebbclean!
I've already suggested to you on your other thread about "How to Properly Talk to a Potential Customer" that you start new threads with new questions that aren't related to that.
So, I've titled and moved your new question that you asked there to a thread by itself in order to maintain the integrity of this site.
I assumed that what you're asking about is concerning cleaning or related activities. If not, please let me know the specifics so that I can change the title of this thread.
Thanks!

Yes...
Are you talking about special projects (wall cleaning, window cleaning, floor work, concrete cleaning, etc) work for subs or are you saying that you want to hire subs for everyday cleaning?

Ebb, please go back to your other thread, I addressed sub contractors for nightly service there and why I do not think it is a good idea.

Hi, ebbclean and Stringer!
I'm glad that you guys are continuing on this new thread!
I'm going to be copying some posts from the original thread over to this one so there's less confusion and so the information will be consistent.
I needed to close the original thread because there were so many questions that didn't have anything to do with the original question according to the way that the thread was titled.
Thanks!

I believe that anyone that wants to start a business and be successful should learn the business from within first. I started as a salesman for a janitorial company and eventually became the vice president of sales and marketing for the company. I was with them for over 15 years.
When we started our company we used sub contractors and switched to regular employees shortly after. There are many limitations and legal shortcomings to sub contracting workers.
And no, I don't think that franchising is the best way to go when starting a cleaning company.

Most states and the federal government set rigid rules and regulations that define exactly what a true sub contract is. There are quite a few of them. If you are investigated, usually by the state first, the federal government will also follow suit. When you are ruled in violation, you will have to pay all back taxes, interest and penalties, it can be devastating financially.
Many feel that these rules were put in place to insure that all taxes are being paid; by the contractor (employer) and by the subs who (in the US) are 1099'd. In other words the subs have to pay all their own taxes (as I'm sure that you already know) and some don't.
I do not know the rules in Canada, however I feel that they are probably the same.
Who Is Considered Self-Employed?
Just one site on this matter, there are many... Google the rules for sub contractors in Canada or talk to a tax attorney.

Thanks Clough.
I will help where ever I can (you know this) but the OP must not have read my original post on sub contracting.
