Transitioning to cleaning businesses, they detail acquiring several small companies, initially focusing on home cleaning before shifting to commercial janitorial services. They emphasize the importance of leadership, humility, and building strong relationships with employees and sellers. The pair also recount their experience with an SBA loan, highlighting due diligence lessons learned after discovering accounting irregularities.
