Grow Your Aberdeen Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From the Northern State campus to the Hub City’s residential neighborhoods — MaidProfit gives Aberdeen cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs, automate operations, and grow profitably.
Why Aberdeen Offers Opportunity for Cleaning Businesses
Aberdeen is the regional hub of northeast South Dakota, serving as the economic center for a wide agricultural region. Known as the ‘Hub City’ for its position as a transportation crossroads, Aberdeen’s stable economy is anchored by healthcare (Avera St. Luke’s), education (Northern State University and Presentation College), and manufacturing (3M, Molded Fiber Glass).
The city’s tight labor market and low unemployment mean that busy professionals and dual-income families increasingly turn to cleaning services. Aberdeen’s relatively low competition in the cleaning industry — compared to larger South Dakota cities — creates an opportunity for well-run businesses to capture significant market share quickly.
Northern State University’s student housing and rental market also creates consistent move-in/move-out cleaning demand on a predictable academic schedule. Combined with Aberdeen’s harsh winters that drive seasonal deep cleaning needs, the city offers a stable, year-round market for cleaning entrepreneurs.
Small City, Big Opportunity
Aberdeen’s smaller market means less competition and stronger client relationships. Word-of-mouth referrals are powerful here. MaidProfit’s automated review requests help you build the reputation that drives growth in tight-knit communities.
Everything you need to scale
Built specifically for cleaning businesses — not generic software adapted for your industry.
What Aberdeen Cleaners Charge
Aberdeen cleaning rates reflect the city’s affordable cost of living and smaller market size. Here’s what local businesses charge.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $75 – $150 | $105 |
| Deep Cleaning | $130 – $280 | $195 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $160 – $330 | $235 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.06 – $0.12 | $0.08 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $65 – $130 | $90 |
Aberdeen’s west-side neighborhoods near the country club and newer developments command slightly higher rates. The area around Northern State University offers steady volume at competitive pricing.
Aberdeen Cleaning Business Requirements

Aberdeen requires a city business license for commercial operations. Apply through the Aberdeen Finance Office. Fees are minimal at approximately $20–$25 annually.
South Dakota Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the South Dakota Secretary of State ($150 filing fee). Sole proprietors using their legal name can skip this step.

General Liability Insurance
Recommended for Aberdeen cleaning businesses. Coverage of $300K–$500K is standard for the local market. Expect $300–$550/year for a small operation.
Workers’ Compensation
Required in South Dakota once you hire employees. Cleaning business rates run approximately $1.20–$2.50 per $100 of payroll.
Brown County DBA Filing
If operating under a business name different from your legal name, file a DBA with the Brown County Register of Deeds. Filing fee is approximately $10.
