Understanding Cashflow in a Cleaning Business (Without the Finance Degree)

Running a cleaning business isn’t just vacuums and invoices. If you don’t understand cashflow, you’ll burn out — fast.

💸 1. You Get Paid AFTER You Clean

Most jobs are invoiced post-service. That means you’re fronting wages, chemicals, and transport before a cent hits the bank.

🧾 2. Recurring Contracts Save Your Life

One-offs pay more per clean, but contracts keep you stable. Ultrix runs on a 70% contract model for predictable cashflow.

🛑 3. Late Payments Kill Growth

A $1,500 late invoice can halt hiring, break your budget, or worse — damage trust with staff. Always chase accounts.

📊 4. Know Your Margins

Cleaning might look cheap, but if your margin’s under 30%, you're working for nothing. Ultrix runs at 50%+ gross to stay lean.

📈 5. Cashflow = Confidence

When you manage cashflow, you can say yes to big clients, buy better gear, and scale without fear.
