Becoming a self-employed cleaner in Ireland

Register as self-employed with Revenue

•Register for Income Tax as a sole trader.
•You'll receive a Tax Registration Number (your PPSN is used for tax purposes).

Choose a business name (optional)

•You can trade under your own name.
•If you use a business name (e.g. "Sparkle Cleaning Services"), you may need to register it with the Companies Registration Office (CRO).

Open a business bank account (recommended)

•This helps keep your business finances separate from your personal finances.

•Google Business Profile.
•Flyers.
•Register on cleaning marketplaces such as the platform you've been developing.

Start taking customers
