Why Nebraska Offers Steady Growth for Cleaning Businesses
Nebraska’s economy is one of the most stable in the nation, with an unemployment rate consistently among the lowest in the United States. With over 2 million residents and roughly 790,000 households, the Cornhusker State provides a reliable customer base for cleaning businesses — one that doesn’t fluctuate wildly with economic cycles.
Omaha, the state’s largest metro, is home to four Fortune 500 companies and a thriving white-collar workforce. Dual-income families in Omaha’s suburbs represent the core market for recurring residential cleaning. Lincoln, anchored by the University of Nebraska and state government, adds a second strong metro with consistent demand for both residential and commercial cleaning.
Nebraska’s cost of living sits 10% below the national average, which means lower startup costs and operating expenses for cleaning businesses. Affordable insurance premiums, reasonable labor costs, and a straightforward regulatory environment make Nebraska an accessible market for new entrepreneurs and a profitable one for established operators.
Low Unemployment, High Demand
Nebraska’s unemployment rate hovers around 2.3% — one of the lowest in the country. That means busy households with disposable income, but it also means you’ll need strong systems to recruit and retain cleaning talent. MaidProfit helps with both.

What Nebraska Cleaners Charge
Nebraska rates are moderate and reflect the state’s affordable cost of living. Here’s the current market.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $100 – $200 | $140 |
| Deep Cleaning | $175 – $375 | $260 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $200 – $425 | $300 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.07 – $0.14 | $0.10 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $85 – $165 | $115 |
Omaha commands the highest rates statewide, particularly in west Omaha suburbs like Elkhorn and Papillion. Lincoln rates are slightly lower, and outstate communities like Grand Island and Kearney fall toward the bottom of the range.
Nebraska Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your business with the Nebraska Secretary of State. Forming an LLC costs $100 plus a $10 online convenience fee. Sole proprietors may need a DBA filing with their county clerk.
Sales Tax
Nebraska has a 5.5% state sales tax. Cleaning services are generally subject to sales tax in Nebraska, so you must register for a sales tax permit and collect/remit tax on taxable services.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Nebraska requires workers’ comp insurance for all employers with one or more employees. Sole proprietors without employees are exempt. Rates for cleaning businesses average $2.50–$4.50 per $100 of payroll.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required, but strongly recommended. Coverage of $500K–$1M protects against property damage and injury claims. Expect $350–$650/year for a small cleaning business.
No State Cleaning License
Nebraska does not require a state-level license to operate a cleaning business. Some cities, including Omaha and Lincoln, require a local business license or occupation tax registration.
Federal EIN
An Employer Identification Number from the IRS is required if you hire employees or form an LLC taxed as a partnership or corporation. It’s free and available immediately online.
