# How to start a cleaning business in New Brunswick: 2026 guide

> Here is how to start a cleaning business in New Brunswick: register a business name through Service New Brunswick’s Corporate Registry ($112, renewed every five years) unless you trade under your own name, get liability insurance, and price your cleans around the $15.90 minimum wage. Register for HST (15% in New Brunswick) once sales pass $30,000 over four quarters. WorkSafeNB coverage becomes mandatory at 3 or more workers, and Moncton lists no licence for house cleaning.

## Key takeaways

- A New Brunswick business name costs $112 to register ($100 fee plus $12 for the Royal Gazette notice) under the Partnerships and Business Names Registration Act, and a renewal is due every five years.
- New Brunswick’s HST is 15%. You don’t have to charge it until your sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive quarters, but you can register earlier to claim back the tax on supplies.
- WorkSafeNB coverage is mandatory once you have three or more workers at any time in the year, and you must register within 15 days of starting the business. With fewer workers you can apply for voluntary coverage.
- The minimum wage is $15.90 an hour since April 1, 2026, indexed to the New Brunswick CPI every April 1. Add vacation pay, CPP and EI and a minimum-wage hour costs you about $17.90 before WorkSafeNB.
- Moncton licenses dogs, taxis, mobile homes, mobile vendors, pawnbrokers, sidewalk cafés and portable signs, not house cleaning. Check zoning for a home office.

## What are the steps to open a cleaning company in New Brunswick?

To open a residential cleaning company in New Brunswick, you pick a structure, register a business name if you use one, get insured, decide when to register for HST, and set prices that cover New Brunswick wages and tax. Add WorkSafeNB and a CRA payroll account when you hire. Most people starting a cleaning business in New Brunswick can do the paperwork online in a day or two.

This guide covers what is specific to New Brunswick and Canada: the Corporate Registry at Service New Brunswick, the CRA, HST, WorkSafeNB, the Employment Standards Act and municipal licences. For the parts that work the same everywhere (choosing services, buying supplies, your first cleans), read our general guide on [how to start a cleaning business](https://broombook.com/guides/how-to-start-a-cleaning-business). Its costs and rules are American, so use this page for the New Brunswick numbers. If you are comparing provinces, the [Ontario guide](https://broombook.com/guides/how-to-start-a-cleaning-business-in-ontario) follows the same structure.

Here is the order that saves you from redoing anything later:

1. Choose your services and the communities you will serve (Moncton and Dieppe, Saint John, Fredericton, the North Shore).
2. Pick a name and a structure, and register the name with the Corporate Registry if it isn’t your own name.
3. Get a CRA business number and decide whether to register for HST now or later.
4. Check your municipality’s rules for zoning, signs and any business licence.
5. Buy commercial general liability insurance, and tell your auto insurer you drive to jobs.
6. Set prices from your costs, with 15% HST added on top if you are registered.
7. Set up booking, reminders and payments in English and French, then go find clients.
8. When you hire, register with WorkSafeNB (mandatory at three workers) and open a CRA payroll account.

If you are still choosing a name, the [cleaning business name generator](https://broombook.com/tools/cleaning-business-name-generator) gives you options to check against the registry. If you want to see your numbers before you commit, the [cleaning business plan template](https://broombook.com/tools/cleaning-business-plan-template) turns your startup costs and prices into a 12-month forecast.

## Step 1: register your cleaning business name with Service New Brunswick

A sole proprietor who trades under a business name registers a Certificate of Business Name with the Corporate Registry for $112, and renews it every five years. Incorporating costs more and adds annual filings; a federal corporation is $200 online.

### Sole proprietorship and business names

Service New Brunswick’s page on [business and partnership names](https://www2.snb.ca/content/snb/en/sites/corporate-registry/business-and-partnership-names.html) explains that a business name is registered under the New Brunswick Partnerships and Business Names Registration Act, and links an information kit. That [business name kit](https://www.pxw1.snb.ca/snb7001/b/1000/CSS-FOL-SNB-45-0003B.pdf) gives the numbers: the filing fee for registration is $112, made up of a $100 registration fee and $12 for publication in the Royal Gazette, and once a Certificate of Business Name is registered, a Certificate of Renewal must be filed every five years. The kit also walks through choosing a name and getting a New Brunswick-based NUANS name search report, which the registry uses to check that your name isn’t already taken.

A sole proprietor who trades only under their own personal name doesn’t need a business name, and so doesn’t file. “Marc LeBlanc” can clean under that name; “LeBlanc Nettoyage” or “Marc’s Spotless Homes” needs the certificate. The trade-off of a sole proprietorship is liability: you are personally responsible for the debts of the business.

### Partnership

Two or more owners register a partnership name under the same Act, with its own information kit on the registry page. Write down who owns what, who sets prices and what happens if one of you leaves, before you sign up your first client.

### Corporation: New Brunswick or federal

A corporation is a separate legal entity, which limits your personal liability but needs annual returns and corporate records. The [Corporate Registry](https://www2.snb.ca/content/snb/en/sites/corporate-registry.html) handles New Brunswick incorporations and publishes its fee schedule; federal incorporation through [Corporations Canada](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/corporations-canada/en/federal-incorporation) costs $200 online. For a one-person cleaning business, incorporation rarely pays off in year one. Insurance, not incorporation, is what pays a client when you break something. Ask an accountant if you expect high profits early or plan to bring in partners.

### A note for Nova Scotia neighbours

New Brunswick business names and corporations are recognized by Nova Scotia’s registry without a separate Nova Scotia registration, which helps if you serve both sides of the border around Amherst and Sackville. The reverse also applies: New Brunswick exempts Nova Scotia corporations from extra-provincial registration, and names registered in Nova Scotia from registering again while the Nova Scotia registration stays current.

## Step 2: get a CRA business number and decide on HST

New Brunswick is one of the provinces where you receive a CRA business number (BN) when you register or incorporate with the province. You must register for HST when your taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. New Brunswick’s HST rate is 15%.

### Your business number

The CRA’s page on [when you need a BN](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/business-registration/business-number-program-account/need-bn.html) lists New Brunswick among the provinces where registering or incorporating gives you a BN as part of the process. If you trade under your own name and never register, you need a BN only when you open a CRA program account, such as GST/HST or payroll.

### When you must register for HST

The CRA’s rules on [when to register for and charge GST/HST](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/when-register-charge) work like this:

- **Under $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters:** you are a small supplier. You don’t have to register, but you can.
- **Over $30,000 across several quarters:** you stop being a small supplier at the end of the month after the quarter you passed the threshold, and must register and charge HST from your next sale.
- **Over $30,000 in a single quarter:** you must charge HST starting with the sale that took you over.

The [CRA’s rate table](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/charge-collect-which-rate/calculator.html) shows New Brunswick at 15% HST, a rate in place since 2016. That is one point higher than Nova Scotia’s 14%, which matters if you quote clients on both sides of the border.

### Should you register before you reach $30,000?

Registering early lets you claim back the HST you pay on supplies, equipment and vehicle costs. The downside is that your prices go up 15% for homeowners, who can’t claim it back. In our experience, many solo cleaners serving homes wait until they get close to the threshold. Commercial clients usually don’t mind HST, because registered businesses claim it back. Track your sales every quarter so you know when you are getting close.

### The Quick Method

Once registered, you can use the [Quick Method of accounting](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/rc4058/quick-method-accounting-gst-hst.html) if your annual worldwide taxable sales, including tax, are not more than $400,000. You still charge clients 15%, but you remit a set percentage of your HST-included sales instead of tracking the tax on every purchase. It suits service businesses with low supply costs, which describes most house cleaners. Ask your accountant to run both methods on your numbers.

## Do you need a licence to clean houses in New Brunswick?

Usually not. There is no provincial cleaning licence, and Moncton, the province’s largest city, does not list one. You still need the business name certificate if you use one, and you need to follow local zoning and sign rules.

### Moncton

Moncton’s [licences page](https://www.moncton.ca/en/my-services-licences-permits/licences) says the city’s by-laws require licences for “a variety of things including owning a dog, driving a taxi or operating a food truck”, and lists the licences you can apply for: dog, taxi, mobile home, mobile vending, pawnbroker, sidewalk café and portable sign. Cleaning and janitorial services are not on the list. A Moncton house cleaner therefore needs the provincial name registration (if not using their own name), a home base that zoning allows, and a portable sign licence only if they put a sign at the curb.

### Saint John, Fredericton and other municipalities

Each municipality has its own by-laws, and we could not confirm every list, so check your own city’s licensing or by-law page or call the clerk’s office. Cities that license businesses publish the types they license; look for cleaning or janitorial on that list, and if it isn’t there you don’t need one. If you work from home, the zoning by-law’s home occupation rules usually limit signs, client visits and on-street parking of a work van.

The general version of this question for US readers is in our guide to [what licenses are needed to start a cleaning business](https://broombook.com/guides/cleaning-business-license), which explains why “licensed, bonded and insured” usually means registrations plus insurance, not a cleaning credential.

## What insurance does a cleaning business need in New Brunswick?

Start with commercial general liability (CGL), which pays when your work injures someone or damages a client’s property. Add crime coverage or a bond once you have staff in clients’ homes, and make sure your auto insurer knows you drive to jobs. Property managers and short-term rental hosts often ask for a certificate of insurance before your first visit.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada’s overview of [types of business coverage](https://www.ibc.ca/insurance-basics/business/types-of-business-insurance-coverage) lists commercial general liability and crime coverage among the common policies for small businesses, alongside commercial auto and business interruption.

- **Commercial general liability:** the core policy. Ask whether it excludes damage to items in your “care, custody or control”, which is exactly what you handle while cleaning.
- **Bond or employee dishonesty (crime) coverage:** pays a client back if an employee steals. It matters more once you send cleaners into homes without you.
- **Auto:** tell your insurer you drive to clients’ homes with supplies. A personal policy may not cover business use, and winter driving between Riverview and Shediac is when claims happen.
- **Your home policy:** if you store supplies or meet staff at home, ask whether your home insurance covers business use.

We did not find a public, verifiable source for typical New Brunswick premiums, so we don’t quote a price here. Ask two or three brokers for quotes with the same details: your services, expected yearly revenue, number of cleaners, and whether you drive. Compare the limit, deductible and exclusions, not only the price. Our guide to [cleaning business insurance](https://broombook.com/guides/cleaning-business-insurance) explains each policy in more depth; its prices are American, so use it for the coverage, not the costs.

## Hiring in New Brunswick: WorkSafeNB, minimum wage, CPP and EI

When you hire, pay at least New Brunswick’s minimum wage of $15.90 an hour, open a CRA payroll account before your first remittance is due, and register with WorkSafeNB once you have three or more workers. With one or two workers, coverage is voluntary but worth pricing.

### WorkSafeNB

WorkSafeNB’s page on [accounts and coverage](https://www.worksafenb.ca/employers/insurance/accounts-and-coverage/) says all employers with three or more workers at any time during the year must register for mandatory coverage, and that these employers must register within 15 days of the start of the business. Workers include full-time, part-time and casual staff, and unregistered contractors and subcontractors. When fewer than three workers are employed, you can request voluntary coverage, and proprietors and partners can request personal coverage for themselves.

Two details on that page matter for cleaning companies. First, a contractor with fewer than three workers who works only for one principal customer will not be granted voluntary coverage. Second, if you subcontract to an unregistered janitorial contractor, WorkSafeNB assesses you on 80% of the contract value: its own example is an $800 janitorial contract assessed on $640 at your rate. So a cleaning company that uses subcontractors pays premiums on their work unless those subcontractors carry their own coverage. Ask for a clearance certificate before you pay a subcontractor.

### Minimum wage and the Employment Standards Act

The province’s [minimum wage page](https://www.gnb.ca/en/gov/engagement-consultation/minimum-wage.html) says the minimum wage is currently $15.90, and that it is updated on April 1 of every year based on the all-items New Brunswick Consumer Price Index. The [February 2026 announcement](https://www.gnb.ca/fr/nouvelles/n-b.2026.02.augmentation-du-salaire-minimum-a-1590-lheure.html) set the rate at $15.90 from April 1, 2026, up 25 cents from $15.65. Plan for a small increase every April when you set annual prices. The minimum applies whether you pay by the hour or a flat rate per clean: the hours worked in each pay period still have to add up to at least $15.90 each.

### CRA payroll: CPP and EI

You have to register for a [payroll account](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/payroll/open-manage-payroll-account/determine-need-register.html) before your first remittance due date, which is the 15th of the month after you start withholding. For 2026:

- **CPP:** 5.95% from the employee and 5.95% from you, on earnings between the $3,500 basic exemption and $74,600 ([CRA CPP rates](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/payroll/payroll-deductions-contributions/canada-pension-plan-cpp/cpp-contribution-rates-maximums-exemptions.html)).
- **EI:** $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings from the employee, and 1.4 times that (about $2.28) from you, up to $68,900 of insurable earnings ([CRA EI rates](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/payroll/payroll-deductions-contributions/employment-insurance-ei/ei-premium-rates-maximums.html)).

### Employee or contractor?

Paying cleaners as contractors doesn’t make them contractors. The CRA’s guide [Employee or self-employed? (RC4110)](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/rc4110/employee-self-employed.html) looks at control, tools and equipment, whether the worker can subcontract or hire assistants, financial risk, investment and the chance of profit. A cleaner who works your schedule, with your supplies, on your checklist, for your clients, looks like an employee, and WorkSafeNB counts unregistered contractors as workers anyway. If you are unsure, ask the CRA for a CPP/EI ruling.

## How should you set prices around New Brunswick wages and HST?

Work out what an hour of a cleaner’s time really costs you, then price each job from the hours it takes plus supplies, overhead and profit. At New Brunswick’s minimum wage, an employee’s hour costs about $17.90 before WorkSafeNB, so any price that doesn’t cover that comfortably is losing money.

### The pay floor, worked out

Here is the math for one hour at the $15.90 minimum wage, using the 2026 rates above and 4% vacation pay (the usual rate for an employee’s first years; check the Employment Standards Act for your case):

| Item | Math | Per hour |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Minimum wage | New Brunswick general rate | $15.90 |
| Vacation pay | 4% × $15.90 | $0.64 |
| Employer CPP | 5.95% × $16.54 | $0.98 |
| Employer EI | 2.282% × $16.54 (1.4 × 1.63%) | $0.38 |
| **Total before WorkSafeNB** | $15.90 + $0.64 + $0.98 + $0.38 | **about $17.90** |

So a three-hour clean costs at least 3 × $17.90 = $53.70 in wages and payroll costs before WorkSafeNB premiums, supplies, driving, insurance, software or your own profit. The CPP basic exemption trims this slightly over a year. Treat it as the floor, not the target: in our experience, many owners pay above minimum wage to keep good cleaners, and a cleaner who can work in both official languages is worth more in Moncton and Dieppe.

### Adding HST to a price

If you are registered, HST goes on top of your price. A $150 clean is $150 × 15% = $22.50 of HST, so the client pays $172.50. Say clearly on your website and quotes whether prices include tax. If you are a small supplier and not registered, you don’t charge HST at all.

### Building the price list

The [house cleaning pricing guide](https://broombook.com/guides/house-cleaning-pricing-guide) compares hourly, flat and per-room pricing and shows how to build each one from your costs. The [house cleaning price calculator](https://broombook.com/tools/house-cleaning-price-calculator) does the math for each home size. Enter your New Brunswick hourly cost (at least $17.90 for an employee, more for yourself), and it gives you a flat price list you can publish.

## How do you find clients in New Brunswick, in both official languages?

Start with people you know and a free Google Business Profile, then add a booking link so strangers can book you without a phone call. New Brunswick is Canada’s only officially bilingual province, so a cleaner who can take bookings and send reminders in French and English reaches clients in Dieppe, Edmundston, Bathurst and the Acadian Peninsula that English-only competitors miss.

The full playbook for referrals, local partners, flyers and reviews is in [how to get clients for a cleaning business](https://broombook.com/guides/how-to-get-cleaning-clients). For showing up on Google Maps and search in your town, read [cleaning company SEO](https://broombook.com/guides/seo-for-cleaning-companies). Use Canadian spelling and postal codes on your site and profile, and list the towns you actually serve, in both languages if you serve both communities.

### Running it with Broombook

We make Broombook, a scheduling, online booking and crew app for residential cleaning businesses, so here is how it fits a New Brunswick business, including what it doesn’t do:

- **Canadian dollars.** Canadian businesses charge clients in CAD through Stripe, by card on file after each clean, or mark cash, cheque or e-transfer at checkout. Broombook takes no cut of payments.
- **HST preset.** Sales tax is off until you turn it on, so small suppliers don’t charge it by mistake. Pick New Brunswick and it fills in the HST rate, shown on receipts.
- **English or French booking pages.** Clients get an instant price from bedrooms, bathrooms, type of clean and extras, and pick an open time. You can limit your service area by distance or postal codes.
- **Your crew in their language.** Job notes can be translated into Spanish, French or Portuguese for each cleaner, and each cleaner gets a private link with their jobs, checklists and clock in and out, with no app download.
- **Payroll export.** Hours from clock-ins, tips split across the crew and commission go into a CSV for your payroll service. Broombook does not calculate CPP, EI or income tax deductions.

Broombook is free for an owner with up to 2 cleaners, or $39 a month on Pro for a bigger crew, billed in US dollars, with no credit card to start. See how scheduling works on our [cleaning scheduling software](https://broombook.com/software/cleaning-scheduling-software) page.

### Pick something other than Broombook if

- You need jobs and payments to sync into QuickBooks automatically. Broombook doesn’t sync with accounting software.
- You bill clients by invoice with net terms. Broombook charges cards after the job and sends receipts, not invoices.
- You want a native app from the App Store or Google Play. Broombook runs in the phone’s browser.
- You mainly bid on commercial janitorial contracts, or run a multi-trade field service company.

## What does it cost to start in New Brunswick?

A solo cleaner in New Brunswick can start for the $112 business name registration (or nothing, under your own name), plus insurance and supplies. Government fees only grow if you incorporate. Insurance is the biggest unknown, so get quotes before you set your prices.

Government fees below were checked on official pages on October 28, 2026. Rows marked “estimate” are our own rough ranges, not quotes, so replace them with your real numbers.

| Cost item | Cost (CAD) | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Certificate of Business Name (sole proprietorship) | $112 | $100 fee plus $12 Royal Gazette notice. Not needed under your own name. Renewal every five years. |
| NUANS name search report | Varies by provider | The registry asks for a New Brunswick-based report with your name application. |
| Federal incorporation | $200 | Optional. New Brunswick incorporation fees are on the Corporate Registry’s fee page. |
| CRA business number, HST and payroll accounts | No fee listed by the CRA | HST only once you pass $30,000 or choose to register. |
| WorkSafeNB | Premiums on payroll | Mandatory at three or more workers; voluntary or personal coverage below that. |
| Commercial general liability | Get quotes | Ask two or three brokers with the same details. |
| Bond or crime coverage | Get quotes | Mainly once you have staff. |
| Auto coverage for business use | Get quotes | Tell your insurer you drive to jobs. |
| Starter supply kit | $200 to $500 (estimate) | Less if you already own a good vacuum or use clients’ products. |
| Phone line, website, printing | $0 to $300 (estimate) | A free Google Business Profile and a booking link are enough to start. |
| Booking, scheduling and payment software | Your choice | [Broombook](https://broombook.com/pricing) is free for an owner with up to 2 cleaners, and US$39 a month on Pro for a bigger crew, with no credit card to start. |

A realistic minimum for a solo sole proprietor using a business name: $112 for registration, roughly $200 to $500 for supplies (our estimate), and your first insurance payment. Everything else can wait until clients are paying you. This guide is general information, not legal, tax or insurance advice; confirm fees on the registry’s site before you file, since they change.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need a business licence to clean houses in Moncton?

No. Moncton’s licences page lists dog, taxi, mobile home, mobile vending, pawnbroker, sidewalk café and portable sign licences. House cleaning isn’t licensed. You still register a Certificate of Business Name with the Corporate Registry ($112) if you don’t trade under your own name.

### How much does it cost to register a business name in New Brunswick?

The filing fee is $112: a $100 registration fee plus $12 for publication in the Royal Gazette, under the Partnerships and Business Names Registration Act. A Certificate of Renewal must be registered every five years, and the registry asks for a New Brunswick-based NUANS name search report with your application.

### Do I have to charge HST on house cleaning in New Brunswick?

Only once you are registered. You must register when your taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, or in a single quarter. Below that you are a small supplier and can register voluntarily. New Brunswick’s HST rate is 15%.

### When do I have to register with WorkSafeNB?

Once you have three or more workers at any time during the year, including part-time, casual and unregistered subcontractors. Employers who qualify must register within 15 days of the start of the business. With fewer than three workers you can request voluntary coverage, and owners can request personal coverage.

### What is the minimum wage for cleaners in New Brunswick?

The general minimum wage is $15.90 an hour since April 1, 2026, up from $15.65. It is adjusted every April 1 based on the all-items New Brunswick Consumer Price Index, and it applies whether you pay hourly or a flat rate per clean.

### Can I hire cleaners as independent contractors in New Brunswick?

Only if the relationship really is self-employment under the CRA’s RC4110 tests: control, tools and equipment, the ability to subcontract, financial risk, investment and the chance of profit. Note that WorkSafeNB counts unregistered contractors as workers, and assesses you on 80% of a janitorial subcontract’s value if the subcontractor isn’t registered.
