How a Dormant Cleaning Business Was Brought Back to Life (and Profit)
From stagnant and forgotten to structured, income-producing and ready for sale.
Client Snapshot
No Staff. No Systems. No Revenue - Just a Vision for More.
The Challenge
A Business on Pause. A Life in Limbo.
“With no recent activity and minimal infrastructure, the owner needed a way to revive the business without being pulled into the day-to-day.”
The cleaning business had been inherited from a family member and hadn’t operated in over 18 months. The business was stagnant. Only a basic website and SOPs were in place. While the owner wanted to rebuild and eventually sell the business, she also needed flexibility to support a sick loved one.
The Solution
We Focused on Revenue, Systems and Scale.
To turn things around quickly, we:
- Renewed essential business operations including insurance
- Scraped a list of 250 commercial and strata property managers
- Hired a subcontractor cleaner to handle on-ground work and quoting
- Strategised to keep owner out of day-to-day operations
- Focused on rapid growth to build saleable value
Implementation Highlights
Smart Strategy. Fast Execution. Real Results.
- Set up subcontracting model to scale without operational overload
- Proactively initiated outreach with a targeted lead list
- Prioritised speed and structure for revenue generation
The Results
“Two commercial contracts signed in one month”
What was once a dormant business is now producing income, with minimal owner involvement.
- Secured 2 new commercial contracts within 30 days
- Revived a dormant business and made it income-producing
- Gave the owner the ability to care for her family while building a business asset
