Green cleaning
Introduction:
Green cleaning is a rapidly growing industry, and there is a significant opportunity to introduce it to Africa. Our company aims to provide a range of eco-friendly cleaning services that will be both affordable and effective. We will focus on using natural and non-toxic products, reducing waste, and minimizing energy consumption.
Market Analysis:
Africa has a large and growing population, and the demand for cleaning services is increasing. However, there is a lack of awareness about the benefits of green cleaning, and many people are still using harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both people and the environment. This presents an opportunity for our company to educate and provide solutions that are eco-friendly and safe.
Our target market will be both residential and commercial clients, including offices, hotels, schools, and hospitals. We will differentiate ourselves from traditional cleaning services by offering a range of green cleaning options that will appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
