What licenses or trading terms do i need in order to run a mobile car valeting business?
Contact your local Business Link for information on setting up in business and the legislation relating to your sector. Citizens Advice Bureau also has information on which types of businesses need licences and for what. Cover yourself with a decent insurance policy. You need protection if someone claims you’ve damaged their vehicle. We’ve used AXA for some time now but it’s worth shopping around. Direct Line is pushing its business insurance on television at present. Insurers pick and choose which kinds of business they cover so you may have to look around for one that provides for your type of business. Ask Business Link about what trading terms you need and how you make your clients aware of them. Good luck!
