corporate national home cleaning services. Can't leave that to the local small business owner?
We did a consultation with Cleaning Authority and about fell out when they quoted us $100 or so per hour and stated it would be 8 hours to clean our entirely empty newly purchased home.
Hired some non English speaker ladies that our realtor uses, and they still come as needed to this day for a flat fee of a fraction of what Cleaning Authority would have been.
I have to wonder who on earth is using their service. Businesses that can't get away with under the table ladies?

I'll bet they hire those same under the table ladies and just gouge customers

I was thinking about it today because I keep getting ads for these corporate national home cleaning services.
Most of those large national companies don’t even actually have the service they are selling. They pretty much all contract with local individuals.
It’s terrible because you never know if you are going to get someone competent or not.

In fairness to the big guys, I'm sure they spend a lot on accountants to insulate themselves through subcontracting/part-time workers, lawyers and favors to politicians.

We continually choose the America where groups with tons of capital seek and find every single small endeavor in which anyone is making anything close to a middle class income, take that over and make sure any profits above low wage jobs go to distant shareholders.
Because small business owners are more interested in the investment than they are the product as well.
Mom and pop sell out as soon as they can make a profit.

They're building many of the bare steel hulls in Poland then towing them to Norway to outfit the complex systems and complete the build.
Really, really good stuff.

Doubtlessly many are. However, you also find all the ones that are not in the mom and pops ranks.
The frustrating thing is that, on one hand, almost everyone points to diminishing middle class jobs and the more stable family structures that generally typify the middle class as a major problem in the trajectory of this country.
While, on the other, we just excuse or deflect from the exact dynamic that has the largest role to play in these jobs diminishing: far flung investment capital / corporations with their shareholders surgically replacing those middle class jobs with cheap labor locally and internationally.
Then we celebrate whatever politician we like when they wax poetically about middle class values while any real legislation they pass only quickens the process.

Agree.
this is the Crony part of Crony Capitalism most of us dislike. Govt has highly favored investors with policy.
Its great if we have money, but it sucks when we dont.
We've allowed companies become "too big to fail" and the beneficiary of govt favoratism.
