Apply Free — Cleaning Business Loan →Maria had been cleaning residential homes solo for two years — twelve regular clients, consistent income, good reviews, a reputation built entirely through referrals. A hotel general manager had heard about her through a restaurant owner Maria cleaned for and called with a proposal: the hotel's current cleaning service had underperformed, they needed a replacement for room turnover, and they were willing to try a smaller operation if the quality was there.
The contract value: $4,800 per month. The hotel's requirements before day one: a $600 surety bond certificate (standard for commercial cleaning contracts), $1,800 in commercial-grade supplies (industrial vacuum, commercial microfiber systems, specific chemical concentrates the hotel required), and proof of liability insurance she already had. Total upfront: $2,400.

"Two years of residential deposits. Hotel contract worth $4,800 a month. Bond and supplies required upfront. Income-only lender answered in 18 minutes — first hotel day Friday, first check 30 days later."
— Why current income tells a more complete story than a credit score aloneCommercial clients — hotels, office buildings, medical facilities — require surety bonds and specific equipment before work begins. These requirements protect the client and signal professionalism, but they create a capital gap: the cleaning business must spend before it receives any payment from the contract. A personal loan from Money247.com based on income history funds the upfront requirements so the contract can start on schedule.
Maria has been cleaning the hotel for six months. The general manager has referred her to two additional properties. Monthly revenue has increased from $3,200 residential to $8,400 combined. She has made 6 monthly payments of $122. Her credit score moved from 531 to 558. The $2,400 upfront investment in bond and supplies generated $28,800 in hotel revenue in six months.
