• Public liability insurance, and check whether cover includes damage to customers' items (treatment risk)

• Check how you will store and dispose of cleaning chemicals and any waste liquid
• Check whether your vehicle insurance covers business use and carrying equipment

Startup costs are typically around £500 to £3,000, depending on the equipment, products and training you choose and how you equip your vehicle. These are estimates, so get quotes before you commit to anything.

Monthly revenue is typically around £500 to £3,500, depending on the hours you work, your prices and how many customers you win. This is an estimate rather than a guarantee, and your costs come out of it.

Check you have public liability insurance and whether it covers damage to customers' items. Always test a hidden patch first, as the wrong product can discolour leather. Also check chemical storage and disposal, and whether your vehicle insurance covers business use.
