Launching a cleaning company means handling business registration, public liability insurance for working inside customer property, COSHH for the chemicals you use, GDPR for customer access notes and key records, employers' liability if you bring on staff, and clear written scope for what each clean covers. This guide covers business structure, insurance, COSHH and key-holding procedures, pricing domestic regulars versus end-of-tenancy versus office contracts, the realities of staff vetting and DBS checks, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from solo to a steady local round.
Covers business registration, public liability insurance, COSHH for cleaning chemicals, key-holding procedures, DBS check considerations, and waste handling expectations
Includes a first-90-days checklist that works for solo domestic operators, end-of-tenancy specialists, or small commercial-contract starters
Addresses the real decisions: which service lanes to launch with, pricing weekly versus deep cleans, growing past solo into managing staff, and the realities of key-holding trust
