I'm launching a cleaning company in Tokyo next May. I have saved the start-up funds myself, but I have never run a business before. I've questions about pricing, suppliers, simple bookkeeping, hiring and - frankly - how not to burn out. I'm looking for a mentor with real small-business experience, ideally in a cleaning company, willing to have a monthly call for the first four months. I'll bring a list of questions and my numbers. If you have a few hours a month, and enjoy helping someone avoid the mistakes you made, I'd really appreciate it. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'll check back for the next update. God bless

    • Hope things get better soon, Mariko. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 21 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.

        Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Tokyo. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        • praying for you, Mariko. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

          • Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Tokyo. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Toronto

              Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Madurai.
