These are all factors that should be properly discussed with a legal counsel or lawyer in order to thoroughly review all the possible aspects of which.

Review on what these decluttering businesses do and how they operate. From there you will be able to get a good idea of how you should start your own.

After you have considered this it is time to set on your location, the stocking and furnishing of this location and finally the last minute touches on the overall business. Review everything accordingly before you set into operation. Consider marketing strategies and techniques as well as the proper advertising tools in order to get the message around that you have a new decluttering business in operation.

    I would love to start a decluttering/organizing business in Nebraska (Omaha/Council Bluffs areas). Should I be bonded? Is it better to charge by the hour or by the job + expenses? What are the average pricing rates? Should I have a detailed contract signed for each project? Thank you for your time and helpful insight!
