ABOUT

Tim Sullivan

Tim Sullivan is a resilient entrepreneur and devoted father of five who knows firsthand that success isn't just about business—it's about getting back up when life knocks you down. After spending 16 years as a self-employed flooring expert, the 2008 market crash coincided with physical limitations that forced him to reinvent himself professionally.

Despite facing personal challenges including divorce and bankruptcy, Tim's determination led him to partner with a close friend in the window washing business, marking the beginning of his journey in the service industry. In 2017, he took a leap of faith, relocated to a new city, and built a thriving exterior cleaning company from the ground up.

Today, Tim is a partner at Cloute Inc., overseeing five diverse divisions: exterior cleaning, maid service, janitorial, paint, and maintenance. Under his leadership, the company is projected to reach $4.6 million in annual revenue. But beyond the numbers, Tim's true strength lies in his positive, action-oriented approach to both business and family life.

Supported by his beautiful wife, a dedicated nurse, Tim has transformed his life experiences—both successes and setbacks—into valuable lessons. Through coaching, continuous learning, and maintaining strong relationships, he's not just built a successful business, but rediscovered what really matters in life. His story is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptation, and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of adversity.
