Setting up a removal company means handling business registration, hire-and-reward vehicle insurance, goods-in-transit insurance for customer belongings, drivers' hours rules where applicable, waste carrier registration for unwanted items, and Operator Licence considerations for any vehicle over 3.5 tonnes gross weight. This guide covers business setup, insurance, the practical realities of man-and-van versus full removal team, pricing per hour versus per move, packing materials, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from solo man-and-van to a small operation with consistent bookings.

The pack is shaped around day-to-day situations such as:
Per-hour vs per-load vs full-house pricing inconsistent across customers, and underlying earn-per-day hard to read
Damage-acknowledgement handled informally, with disputes settling on goodwill rather than paper when a piece is dropped or scratched
