Customer paid the deposit, won't pay the rest. What now?
Did a big move-out yesterday. She's now claiming she 'didn't agree to that price' even though she signed. Anybody dealt with this in Georgia?
For future cleaning-business owners
A polished local website that ranks on Google. Legally binding work orders so customers can't ghost on payment. Help getting your LLC set up. A community of operators who've done it before. All for a simple monthly fee — no franchise, no royalties.
Why we built Bubba
Bubba exists because someone we love got burned. We don't want that to happen to you.
"My nephew had years of carpet-cleaning experience and access to a truck. He started taking jobs on his own — no LLC, no real contract. He bought leads from an online broker. One customer paid a deposit, he did the entire massive job, then they refused to pay the rest. He had no paperwork to back him up. He did all that work for free, and now he's jaded on the whole idea of being his own boss."
What you actually get
Each pillar below answers a real way solo cleaners get burned. We've lived them. Now we hand you the antidote.
A unique page on bubbacleans.com tuned to rank for "house cleaning [your city]" — so customers find you instead of you chasing them.
Beats: paying brokers for cold, resold leads.
Service agreements, deposit terms, cancellation policies, damage waivers — written by people who've watched cleaners get stiffed.
Beats: a handshake and a screenshot of a text.
We walk you through filing your LLC, getting your EIN, and opening a business bank account in your state. No legalese fog.
Beats: operating personally and exposing your house and car.
Vetted general liability and bonding providers built for residential cleaners, with the coverage limits we actually recommend.
Beats: hoping nothing breaks.
A simple, repeatable playbook (Google profile, reviews, referrals, social) plus the local SEO traffic your Bubba page brings in.
Beats: $40-a-pop broker leads sold to four other cleaners.
A network of Bubba operators and a real human on the other end of the phone when a customer goes sideways.
Beats: figuring it out alone at 11pm.
Legal protection, included
Every Bubba partner gets a folder of plain-English, legally-reviewed templates. Send them before the job, get them signed digitally, and stop losing money to people who think a cleaner can't push back.
Documents are templates and guidance, not legal advice. We'll point you to attorneys in your state when you need one.

Two ways to run it
Bubba supports the solo operator and the crew leader equally. Same platform, same docs, same support — whether it's just you or you've hired your cousin and a friend.
Just you, your vehicle, your supplies. Low overhead, high margin per job.
Hire friends, family, or W2 employees. You become the local brand, not the labor.
The community behind you
When a customer gets weird, when a quote feels off, when you're staring at the LLC paperwork — there's already someone in the forum who's solved it.
