Tulp Cleaning Services | Application Preview
Tulp Cleaning Services is seeking government funding to enhance its operations and community impact. The grant will be used for purchasing essential cleaning supplies, uniforms, and equipment, as well as securing a reliable vehicle for transporting these items. Additionally, the funding will help establish a small office for customer accessibility and equipment storage.
The business plan emphasizes that a reliable vehicle and a dedicated business location will enable better staffing, facilitating growth in the local area. The owner is also pursuing general liability insurance to expand service offerings to local businesses and apartment complexes, particularly for move-in and move-out cleans.
The owner advocates for the funding by highlighting her local ties and the business's mission to provide flexible employment opportunities for single women. As a woman and a Hispanic entrepreneur, she aims to empower others while maintaining a work-life balance, contrasting with her previous corporate experience where personal time was scarce.
In terms of competition, Tulp Cleaning Services faces three main rivals: Koda Cleaning Services, Sparkling Maids, and Lakeshore Janitorial Services. However, Tulp's competitive edge lies in its personalized approach, offering initial walkthroughs to tailor services to customer needs. By providing direct assessments and customized quotes instead of hourly rates, the company builds stronger client relationships and delivers more precise cleaning solutions.

Business Plan
With the availability of having a reliable vehicle, in an actual business location, I'm able to staff more adequately which will open up business around this area. Also I am currently working on getting general liability insurance which will allow me to be able to quote businesses as well as apartment complex Property Management in order to work on any move-in move-out at said locations. I am locally owned and operated, I provide a service within my community and try to maintain business within our community. I am a mother, a woman, and Hispanic. My goal is to provide employment to other single women and Empower them to be able to work flexible hours and still provide for their family and have the opportunity to spend time with their families. This was the purpose and reason for me starting my own business as in the corporate world I felt that my life was revolving around the job and not being able to enjoy time with my family

Self Identified Competition
There are three companies in my area that I know people have gone to, 1. Koda Cleaning Services 2. Sparkling Maids 3. Lakeshore Janitorial Services The difference between myself and other companies is that I do an initial walkthrough with each client. The purpose of this is to get to know the home, the location and the customer themselves. In my experience having that one-on-one in person allows me to understand my client's needs and what their expectations are. It makes me aware of whether they have pets small children their lifestyle everything to better how we provide our cleaning services to them. Another difference between myself and other companies is that our company offers package deals and customers are paying for specific cleaning tasks versus charging by the hour as most companies do. So during the walk-through customers are then given a more accurate quote based on what is truly needed for each location versus a quote over the phone just based on an hourly rate.
