The night shift
Every spotless office has a shift nobody sees.
The client walks in at eight and the floor already shines. Nobody saw the mop, the route, the checklist or the person who set the schedule.
A cleaning company that lasts works the same way. Behind every clean is a system: the right entity, real credit, paperwork that looks professional, contracts that renew and a CRM that remembers every client. QTS Cleaning Academy teaches you to build that part.
The build-out
Six rooms. One company.
Terence teaches the business like a floor plan. Each room is a part of the company you put in order, one at a time, until the lights are on everywhere.
01 · Formation
Set up the LLC the correct way
Start with the foundation. The program covers the basics of setting up an LLC, and the Start Up Essentials Guide includes an eBook on starting your LLC the correct way.
02 · Credit
Build business credit
Building Business Credit with QTS explains how business credit works for a service-based business and how to build it for your company.
03 · Paperwork
Look established from day one
Ten white label downloadable forms, essential to starting and growing a cleaning business, ready for your own name and logo.
04 · Contracts
Win solid contracts early
Students write about getting good, solid contracts from the beginning and finalising a first cleaning contract a month into the program. As Terence puts it, you are one contract away.
05 · Systems & CRM
Run it with a CRM, not a notebook
Terence’s specialty is putting systems in place. QTS Academy brings CRM expertise: the tools and routines that keep leads, clients and schedules in order as you scale.
06 · Community
Never build alone
A Facebook group answers questions along the way, and weekly Zoom calls keep everyone moving. Students help each other too, down to guiding one another on grants.

The starter kit
Two guides to start with
Both guides are written by Terence and sold on their own, so you can begin before you join the mentorship.
How to build business credit for service-based business
QTS Cleaning Academy is a cleaning business coaching and mentorship program led by Terence Harris of QT'S Services LLC in Columbus, Ohio. It teaches people how to start a cleaning business, scale it and put systems in place, using a step-by-step digital blueprint, white label forms, a private community and weekly Zoom calls.
Who is the cleaning business coaching program for?
The program is for people who want to start a cleaning business and for owners who want to grow one. Students have joined before they had any cleaning experience, and others join to land their first contract or to put better systems in place.
What is included in the mentorship?
Students describe a digital course that walks through building and scaling a cleaning business step by step, access to a Facebook group community for questions, weekly Zoom calls, and white label forms. The training covers the basics of setting up an LLC, and Terence guides students on strategy and execution.
Do I need cleaning experience to start?
No. One student, Daniel Klotz, wrote in his review that he had never done any cleaning or run a cleaning business before he started working with Terence. The program begins with setting up the business itself.
Does QTS still run a cleaning company?
Yes. QTS Services is a working commercial cleaning contractor. Office clients describe the team as reliable, professional and punctual, so the coaching comes from someone who runs the work, not only teaches it.
What guides can I buy on their own?
There are two guides, each listed at US$99.00. Building Business Credit with QTS explains how to build business credit for a service-based business. The Cleaning Business Start Up Essentials Guide includes 10 white label downloadable forms and an eBook on starting your LLC the correct way.
Where is QTS Cleaning Academy based?
QTS Cleaning Academy is based at THRIVE Coworking, 470 W Broad St #718, Columbus, OH 43215. The course itself is digital and the weekly calls run on Zoom.
