Is your cleaning business one OSHA violation away from financial disaster? In this eye-opening episode, Stephanie reveals why business ownership means constantly defending against threats — including her own company's unexpected legal battle.

Learn the costly insurance gaps many cleaning businesses overlook, why your cleaners' unauthorized product use could trigger $20,000 OSHA fines, and how a surprising discrimination lawsuit targeting cleaning companies could affect you (even if you're doing everything right).

Key Takeaways:

  • Essential insurance coverage every cleaning business needs (and the gaps most owners miss)

  • Why proper vehicle insurance documentation from employees is non-negotiable

  • OSHA compliance requirements for cleaning products that could save you thousands

  • How job listing wording could lead to discrimination lawsuits (even if you don't discriminate)

  • Practical steps to protect your business from common legal and financial threats
