In cleaning, the real subject is not the licence, it is payroll: a sector collective agreement, multiple part-time contracts, staff working at different client sites in the same week. Margin is made or lost on the precision of contracts and payslips. Our payroll at EUR 20 excl. VAT per payslip, degressive from the sixth employee, is built for that volume.

How does the filing proceed?

We prepare the file, submit it on MyGuichet to the Directorate-General for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and follow it through to the decision. You sign, we do the rest; the flat fee is confirmed in writing before any hour is billed.

Winning the first corporate contracts: what do clients check?

Serious principals verify three things before signing: a valid licence, declared staff, liability insurance. A cleaning company clean on those three fronts differentiates itself immediately. Company at the single EUR 2,049 flat fee, bookkeeping from EUR 250 excl. VAT per month: the 2026 fee grid publishes it all.
