If you're weighing up a cleaning business in Wrockwardine Wood, you're looking at one of the UK's most accessible trades to get going in. Here's what matters before you start taking bookings around Telford and Wrekin.

What the rules say

There's no general licence standing between you and starting a domestic cleaning business anywhere in the UK -- although carrying a client's waste away yourself brings its own registration requirement. As a sole trader, public liability insurance stays optional in law but is expected by most clients and letting agents in practice. The one line that does become a legal requirement is employers' liability insurance, and only once you employ anyone outside your family.
