I'd be as huge fan. Running a small office with 15 people in it takes a lot of work. I'm definitely not above mopping the floors, doing the dishes or hanging whiteboards myself, but it's more effective for me to pay someone to do this while I spend my time working on the product or helping someone else.

I can't speak for the size of the market, but offices we've looked at in LA don't often include cleaning services, and there are a lot of small offices that couldn't justify a full time person for this role.

I would like to be able to get the same person most of the time.

The services that would be important to consider doing are:

  - Cleaning  
  - Assembling new desks/furniture  
  - Light repair and maintenance (stuff not covered by the lease and doesn't require speciality knowledge)   
  - Setup / Cleanup for meetups and other events  
  - Running errands and picking things up from the store
