- Can I afford to "lose" money temporarily as I accommodate the equipment, training, and legal expenses needed to add other hood cleaners to my business?
- What are going to be my "start-up" and "on-going" expenses for hiring a new hood cleaner? Take into consideration, equipment, training, insurances (workman's compensation, business liability, etc.), adding payroll to your accounting needs (including paying social security, etc.), and more.
- Is my business office and accounting system organized enough to accommodate more input and processing of clients and job scheduling?
- Do I have a written policy manual of my business so that expectations for new hood cleaners can be uniformly presented?
- Do I have an orientation plan for how I will train new hood cleaners to fit into my business?
- Do I have a clear plan for how I will evaluate, monitor, foster communication, and create accountability for new hood cleaners?
- Can I handle placing my reputation in the hands of someone else to represent me to others?
