I want to establish a cleaning business where we provide mobile steam cleaning services at the customers location. I have no funds but what I will do is get the contracts in hand first and get a down payment against the services before its rendered, to finance my start-up. Will the strategy work?

Sounds good. You can also look into a making a business plan, and applying for financing(loan) from a financial institution.
For a business plan there is a very good interactive website that might help get the plan done step-by-step, its absolutely free, and gives samples as well.
Its a service provided by the Canadian Business Service Center

You may find it very difficult to convince people to pay you a down payment when other steam cleaning companies ask for money on the day of the job. If you are so confident that you can get the contracts try getting funding from somewhere like Business Link or the Chamber of Commerce.

My suggestion would be to go talk with a Small Business Association office. They can help you design a professional business plan, which you could probably get a loan with...

Idea's are a dime a dozen. Do you have your pyramid of advisors on board? CPA, attorney, bank lenders, SBA?
Strategies only work with a system and team.

No maybe you can work for your competitors, get contacts and then see if you can set up on your own, or partner with someone who does have the money?
Good Luck
