How to Start a Cleaning Business in St Nicolas Park

Starting a cleaning business in St Nicolas Park? Good news: there's very little standing in your way legally. This guide walks through what you genuinely need in place before your first job across St Nicolas Park and the wider Nuneaton and Bedworth area.

What the rules say

You don't need a general licence to run a domestic cleaning business in the UK. The exception is waste carrying -- if you remove a client's waste yourself, that has its own registration requirement. Public liability insurance remains commercially expected rather than legally required for a sole trader, but employers' liability insurance is a legal requirement from your very first non-family employee onward.
