How do I register a cleaning business in Georgia?

Register your business with the Georgia Secretary of State (for LLCs or corporations) or your county clerk (for a DBA). Obtain an EIN, and get general liability insurance. Georgia doesn't require a state cleaning license, but some cities and counties require a local business license. If you have employees, register with the Georgia Department of Labor.

How much do house cleaners charge in Georgia?

Standard cleaning in Georgia runs $100–$175 per visit. Atlanta's affluent suburbs (Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta) command $130–$220+. Savannah and coastal markets have seen rate increases due to vacation rental demand. Move-out and deep cleaning jobs typically start at $200–$350 in metro markets.

What's the cleaning business market like in Atlanta?

Atlanta is one of the strongest cleaning markets in the Southeast, driven by a large professional class, strong corporate relocation activity (many major companies have SE headquarters in Atlanta), and a hot real estate market with frequent moves. The main operational challenge is I-285 and I-75/85 traffic, which makes route optimization software essential for multi-cleaner teams.

Cleaning Business Software for Georgia

Georgia's cleaning market has grown substantially alongside Atlanta's tech boom and the state's overall population growth. Metro Atlanta—including Alpharetta, Marietta, Smyrna, and Decatur—is the primary market, but Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus all have growing residential cleaning demand.

Atlanta's heat and humidity mean clients often want more frequent cleaning (every 1–2 weeks vs monthly), which increases recurring revenue per client. Traffic congestion across the metro is a major route optimization challenge.
