Recently, we started answering questions received from foreclosure business owners here on ForeclosureBusinessNews.com. So, if you have about starting, operating or marketing a foreclosure clean up business, send it in. All identifying details will be removed, so that you remain anonymous (if you wish).

Here’s one we got from a business owner about foreclosure cleaning business insurance. Following is his entire email, and our response.

Question from a Reader

Pleasant Morning to You,

My name is Andre, I recently purchased one [of] your eBooks (Foreclosure Marketing) and I must say; it HELPED me tremendously. I started [my business] a few months ago and I must admit; your book gives me hope.  I could tell you have lots of experience in the business and you take a hands-on approach to your craft.

Not too many times, you find people who aren’t willing to share the formula of success with others. Thank you for sharing.

At this moment I am faced with a quagmire; we are currently covered with general liability insurance but not Worker Compensation insurance. The business is still in its early stages and we are not currently generating enough income to purchase Worker’s Comp. My brother and I are the main workers and occasionally we might hire someone for the day, when we have extra work. Due to the fact that we only have a 3 man team and financial resources are tight:

• ·         Do you think it would be alright for me to advertise that we are fully insured at this point?
• ·         How do you suggest I handle potential clients, who ask if I am fully insured or if I have workers comp?
• ·         At what point do to you suggest I get Worker’s Comp insurance?

Thank you for your help,

Andre

Our Answer

Hi Andre: 

I’m glad the books are helping you in your business!
 
RE your query . . .
 
Sure, you can indicate you are licensed and insured in your literature; because you’ve stated you have general liability; but the larger clients, esp. prop preservation companies, may ask for proof of WC.

You can put on your applications the type of insurance you have in these instances and state you will get WC before performing jobs. If a client asks if you have WC and you don’t yet have it, tell them you don’t have it, but can get it quickly to secure the job, no problem. Call around and get your quotes NOW and ask the insurance companies you’ll be soliciting for coverage how quickly the policy can be written when you do need the coverage to perhaps seal a deal. 
 
Rule of Thumb: Get the WC when the biz can afford to pay for it. Your numbers will guide you. 
 
Continued success to you and your brother with your foreclosure cleanup business!

A reader sent in the following question about starting a foreclosure clean up business. Following is what he asked – and our answer. Note: If you have a question about starting/operating a foreclosure cleaning business, how to prevent foreclosure, how to buy foreclosed properties, etc., send it to us and we’ll answer it here if we can. Send all questions to info {at} Foreclosure Business News dot com.

Fortunately I’m not in a foreclosure situation.  My wife and I are, however, looking to buy a home sometime soon.  It will be our first, and we’ve been to a few homes with realtors for a “look see”.

Editor Note: See what it takes to qualify for a home loan in today’s market.

I am astounded at how the pictures differ from what is actually there.  Some places are filthy and full of broken walls, dropped ceilings, etc.  I’m sure you know the scene. As I am unemployed, I had this idea…. 

That is what got me to thinking about cleaning up such homes.  So, I searched foreclosure cleaning businesses and found your website.  Very helpful, too, but I think I may not be reading the language the same as “those in the know”. 

After reading through several articles there appears to be a lot more to it than just offering a sweep up, clean windows, and hauling off of garbage.  I am not ready to do any remodeling, fixing up or building of any sorts.  In fact, I would probably just want to scout the place out, call a dumpster company after winning a bid/contract and scrapping out the home.  That done, call the dumpster people and then the client for a “by your leave” and collect the pay. 

Am I too simplistic? 

What are the levels involved in “Property Preservation”? (is that another name for Foreclosure Cleaners?)

I plan to talk to my realtor to get his take, then talk to a bank home loan agent to get their take.  More info is better… and finally, how does one get bonded? 

I needed to know this for a home cleaning venture, but it turns out that most competition is made up of a couple doing homes in their spare time, unbonded, with their own set of sponges and buckets and mops, etc.

Sorry to take so much time, but costs are paramount consideration in my situation (wife will buy the house), and I just need a job…any job

Thanks for reading.

Greg 

Answer 

Greg:

Your outlook may be a little simplistic because, for the most part, you do need to be licensed and insured in order to get jobs – especially from REO realtors and property preservation companies – which is where a lot of the work in foreclosure clean up is.

Just read through some of the job ads on this site and you’ll see requirements that a business be licensed and insured.

“What are Property Preservation Companies and What Is Their Role in the Foreclosure Clean Up Process?”

Property preservation companies are firms that handle everything from cleaning up, securing and boarding vacant properties, to making repairs, collecting rents and evicting tenants from occupied properties. Banks/lenders often rely on them to service the needs of their repossessed (REO / bank-owned / foreclosed on) properties.

Property preservation companies handle jobs in-house and contract jobs out to other companies (eg, foreclosure clean up businesses). That’s how it works. 

Type of License and Insurance Required to Start a Foreclosure Cleaning Business

The type of license required is a general business license; some call it an occupational business license. As for foreclosure cleanup business insurance, get general liability, at minimum, to start.

“Do I Need to be Bonded to Start a Foreclosure Cleaning Business?”

You don’t need to be bonded to do foreclosure cleanup. To find out more about bonding, simply conduct a  general search online, eg, use Google.com.
 
“Do I Have to Offer All Types of Services When I Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business?”

You can offer whatever services you’d like and only bid on those portions of the job. When you register with property preservation companies (the larger, more formal entities; vs. foreclosure cleanup companies, the smaller entities offering services “to” mostly prop preservation companies), there is usually a list on vendor applications asking which services your company offers. You can simply check off the services you are offering to them. You do not have to offer the full spectrum of services.
