Marketing
The target market for offering cleaning services will be to home, constriction, restaurant
and shopping center as well as in childcare and schools. Market trend analysis elucidates that
there is increased demand for cleaning service in all the industries as they prefer outsourcing
such operations. The target population does not consider cleaning activities to be enjoyable and
therefore hire cleaning services to accomplish such tasks (Baliga and Rodrigues 2015). The
cleaning services offered by the business will be promoted through print and social media, public
relations and through television media advertising.
Operations
The business operations of 4RS Services Cleaning will be maintained through employing
20 employees that will offer cleaning services, a manager, HR, an accountant and an IT personal.

Market Analysis
The market trend in the service cleaning within Australia has shifted from the individual
service provider to the organizations. Unlike previous years, most of the families and
occupations in the current years are observed to be serviced by an individual housekeeper or
personnel that accomplish the cleaning activities (Rimm 2016). Such trend is shifting towards
having leaning services outsourced on a weekly basis. The market shift has resulted in
proliferation of distinct cleaning services. There has also been a shift from individuals to the
companies along with soft in having same service provided over years because they were
offering unsatisfactory services. Such change in the market trends has developed a receptive
surrounding for cleaning service providers in offering unique and exceptional services (Stark
2016).
