FAQ
- Will cleaning employees transfer with the business?Section 197 may transfer employees automatically when the operation is sold as a going concern. Review contracts, pay, leave, service dates, disputes and work locations, then obtain advice on which liabilities and employment terms pass to you.
- Which payroll and labour records should I verify?Check wages against the current national minimum, together with hours, overtime, leave, UIF, PAYE and Compensation Fund records. Reconcile employee lists to payroll and customer schedules, including casual workers and anyone described as an independent contractor.
- How should customer contracts and household access be transferred?Review termination, assignment, notice and price-review terms for every material agreement. Obtain customer consent where needed and securely transfer keys, alarm codes and access instructions, with a signed register showing who controls each item.
- What chemical-safety controls should I inspect?List all cleaning chemicals and review labels, safety data sheets, dilution, storage, transport and personal protective equipment. Check training, exposure incidents and spill procedures, especially where staff decant products or work around children, pets and food.
- How can I verify recurring cleaning revenue?Match customer schedules and completed visits to invoices, card or debit-order collections and bank receipts. Analyse cancellations, skipped cleans, discounts, travel time and cleaner hours by route, separating recurring work from once-off deep cleans.
- Which assets and liabilities are commonly overlooked?Inspect vehicles, vacuums, machines, uniforms and stock against ownership and finance records. Review breakage, theft, key-loss and injury claims, customer credits, service guarantees and insurance exclusions before agreeing the final price and working capital.
