Business Plan
I want to have 10 full-time employees. I would love our employees to have access to education if they need it, health benefits, and a great healthy work environment with fair pay. With the amount of work that cleaners do, they are getting paid less for it. This is a business that cleaners mostly women can work hard and still be able to afford to take care of their families and not have to work two jobs. I grew up in South Africa, received a Peace Corps Volunteer Scholarship to study here in the USA in 2010. Later received my MBA in Business and have been pursuing business ever since. My mother and my grandmother used to work as housemaids and still were not able to feed us. I have learned a lot from them and if done well cleaning companies can actually benefit working moms while improving the lives of the cleaners. When investing in Teebs Cleaning, you are helping us change the cleaning business and it will be a win-win situation for all. We do not have to have most of the pie when the people that are working the most only bring a slice to their families.

Self Identified Competition
Molly maids, 5280 cleaning company, Hummingbird Cleaning Services Workers should get paid well. When I was asked to subcontract by some of my competitors as a new cleaning company, I was informed that my pay will be $25/hr. That's how much I pay my employees, they receive $160 in profit. The reason is that they pay people $10/hr. that is wrong and it has to change.
