40 ISSUES: 5. Maintenance


  • Are there always enough cleaning supplies on hand?
  • Have contracts been thoroughly examined with cleaners and garbage disposal companies? Would such a contract pay for itself?
  • Are the premises maintained? Is a checklist provided for the cleaning team?
  • Do I understand the difference between leasehold improvements and repairs and maintenance?
  • Is equipment maintained and are facilities kept up? Remember the saying an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
  • Are the duties and responsibilities in this area clearly defined and assigned?
  • Do I have policies and procedures in place that will work for me?
