Feeling the Pressure from Rising National Insurance Costs? Here’s One Way UK Businesses Can Save
As of April, businesses across the UK are facing increased National Insurance (NI) contributions, adding yet another pressure to already rising employment costs. In response, many companies are re-evaluating their operations to find practical and smarter ways to save without sacrificing quality.
One cost-saving opportunity that’s gaining traction? Outsourcing commercial cleaning services. If you’re currently managing an in-house cleaning team, now might be the ideal time to consider outsourcing and we are here to help.
Officlean Ltd is a professional commercial cleaning provider with years of experience supporting businesses across the Midlands. From offices and schools to healthcare and industrial sites, we help our businesses maintain spotless, safe, and hygienic environments without the overheads of in-house staffing.

The Hidden Costs of In-House Cleaning Teams
While employing your own cleaners may seem straightforward, the actual costs can be surprisingly high. Beyond wages, employers are responsible for NI contributions, holiday and sick pay, pensions, training, uniforms, cleaning supplies, and general HR management. These hidden costs quickly add up, especially now with the latest NI increase.
There’s also the time commitment, recruiting, covering absences, and managing performance all take valuable focus away from your core business. In many cases, outsourcing cleaning services can provide the same (or better) results for less money and significantly less administrative hassle.
