best place to go?

I am helping my brother start up a commercial cleaning company, as well as targeting your typical office work we are looking to get into the construction site cleaning ( going in after construction site builds ). We are also looking to get in with local authorities for house cleans etc.

Does anyone know a good place to promote ourselves? construction forums, anything that may be of use?

There's nearly no building work going on-the only place wher such services may be needed is withing public authorities so hospitals schools police prisons etcetera-IN a recession go for the government silly spending on re-training setups-and the like.
Local authorities often have a meet the client meeting events-
Possible opening is for landlords who have suffered houses 'being trashed' after evicting tenents -that may be a growth area sadly-
Happy days.

 

thanks, funny thing si my brothers contacts are very keen, these jobs need to be done so for the contracts they have got they want us for.

Keep the ideas coming.

You need to talk to the environment agency and register for a waste carriers license. This is very very important. It is illegal for a commercial company/business to carry waste in a vehicle without a license.
£50k fine & 5 years imprisonment.

Hi ya or you can also speak to me about getting a hazardous waste license it is only hazardous waste that requires a haz waste license and if it is your own companies waste in your vechile and its hazardous that is not a problem, however if it is another person's waste in your vehicle thats when yep you will need a waste license. Its not hard to get one and not that expensive either ......

And you won't get far without one, as most of the commercial disposal sites won't let you in without one, and it will get inspected, very very regularly.

 

Also anyone have a database of construction companies?

try the local builders association or the local chamber of commerce

Are your services worldwide? I mean if you are offering services around the world then you can get the data from enywhere. Othrewise, Its better to try in your local areas, this will be more useful.

Btw, Good Luck for your new business.
