This blog post lists a few great options:

Get a business partner

Most people get partners because they either lack money, emotional support or skills. What about you?

If you don’t have enough money to start the business, you should maybe consider taking a loan? Maybe your spouse can provide you with the emotional support? If you don’t have the right skills maybe you should educate yourself, get a certificate or visit an evening course.

Consider all advantages and disadvantages of having a business partner and whether you need one or not. It can be good to work together but it can also lead to a disaster.

Offer additional services

If you offer services such as area rug cleaning, spot stain removal, minor carpet repair, carpet removal and so on your client base has the potential to double or triple.

Also, if you expand your business in a few more locations you’ll more likely get new clients.
