About Hometown
Earn by helping people near you. Hometown Nailsea is operated by Hometowner Limited and connects you with local customers for home, garden and everyday jobs. You work independently, choose your services and set your availability. You provide your services directly to customers as a self-employed Hometowner.
Before you start taking jobs, you will need:
- A DBS check, two references and our approval. Apply for a basic DBS check on GOV.UK
- Your own public liability insurance covering the services you offer. Compare quotes with Simply Business
- Your self-employed tax registration and UTR. Register with HMRC
You can apply while you arrange these. We’ll also help you get set up with invoicing your clients.
Insurance prices depend on your work and the cover you choose.
