Insurance guidance →Right to work
We handle your right to work check
Since 1 October 2026 the law asks Movesmith to check the right to work of self-employed movers. If you work for yourself, as a sole trader or a one-person limited company, we do it once, on your phone, in about 3 minutes, before your first job. If you run a removal company, you check your own crew and confirm it when you accept a job.
How the check worksOperator questions
Will I get work?
Work depends on customer demand, your area, availability and suitability for each move. Joining does not guarantee jobs or a weekly income. You can see the complete fixed supplier payout and requirements before deciding whether to accept an offer.
Founding operator offers depend on suitable local or route-based demand, verified eligibility and capacity; registering does not guarantee work.
Suitable suppliers receive offers in ranked groups. Jobs not accepted through those offers can then appear on the job board for eligible suppliers. You can decline before accepting. Acceptance still depends on the job's current checks.
Do I pay for leads?
No. Movesmith does not charge lead fees, listing fees or a monthly subscription. The applicable commercial arrangement and complete fixed payout are shown in each job offer before you accept it.
How is commission agreed?
Existing commission agreements and versioned cost-plus offers follow their accepted terms. The complete payout is shown before acceptance.
Supported road charges (the Congestion Charge, Dartford Crossing and tunnel tolls) are included in your fixed payout in full, with no commission taken on them.

For a conversation before applying, email Movesmith.
Can I decline a job?
Yes. You can decline an offered job before accepting with no penalty. Once you accept, we expect you to complete it unless there is a genuine issue that you report promptly.
What customer information can I see before accepting?
You see the move scope, access and parking assumptions, a simple confirmation that Movesmith has a customer contact route, and whether an approved change means you must review the latest scope. It is not a customer rating and it does not reveal the customer’s name, phone number, email address or exact address before acceptance.
What insurance do I need?
Operators need valid Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance before taking Movesmith jobs. Employers’ Liability is also required where the verified employment model makes it applicable. Movesmith confirms the exact evidence and current limits during onboarding and rechecks validity for the move date.
Does final approval switch my availability on?
No. Final approval records that you have passed the current job-eligibility checks, but it does not change your availability choice. The availability preference being off does not remove approval or prevent suitable offers and claims. Use blocked dates or a scheduled pause when you cannot work; each job still requires suitable insurance, vehicle, crew and your acceptance.
What areas do you cover?
Operators can apply from anywhere in the UK. Customers nationwide can submit move details, receive a fixed price and book it straight away; the job is then offered to verified operators. Portal access, document verification, activation, final approval for jobs and your availability choice are separate stages; registration or approval does not switch availability on or guarantee offers or volume.
