Economy + tax load

Median household income: $126,800. Top industries: tech, finance, biotech, tourism. California state income tax up to 13.3%. San Francisco Payroll Expense Tax applies to businesses at scale. Solo operators face significant compliance overhead.

Regulatory notes

The SF Rent Ordinance is the most complex in the country. Every rental relationship touches it. Business Registration Fee applies at city level.

Climate + seasonality

Mild year-round (foggy summers, wet winters). Fewer seasonal service business rhythms than most metros. HVAC less critical than most cities.

Local flavor

Mission, Sunset, Richmond, SoMa, Marina. Each district has different rent-control coverage percentages. The address changes the entire compliance frame.

What it does

Pest control is a recurring-revenue business the moment you write the first quarterly contract. This workbook prices each service by pest and property type, tracks jobs by client history, inventories chemicals and application equipment, and monitors recurring revenue by contract type. The tab that shows next month's recurring is the tab that matters.
