Setting on staff for my cleaning business

[Kxt33]

Hi I've had a very successful domestic cleaning business for the last year. I'm finding that I'm having to turn alot of potential customers away due to not having any slots available. I've been putting alot of thaught into it and I'm seriously considering setting on a couple of staff members to help with the work load. I just haven't got a clue how to go about it. Anyboby who's been in the same situation you're advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Things you need to consider are how you will manage the payroll (accountant?), you will have to guarantee hours to staff, their pay Vs how much you will charge the customer, employee insurance, holiday/sick/maternity/paternity pay, legal contracts (possibly worth a solicitor consult), have you managed people before (not as easy as it looks), then there's recruiting them in the first place and making sure they do as good a job as you because if they don't (and they are highly unlikely to because it isn't their business) then it is your neck on the line.
ACAS is a good place to go for advice.

Remember me minimum wage is £7.5/h, going up to £7.83 in April. Do you charge enough to pay at least that much , pay all the costs and still have a profit? Just think about it, it’s very hard moment for any small business.
