For a certified tradesperson going out on their own

Your name on the van. Your customers on the phone.

You're the owner from day one. Launch with Local Trades is the first 90 days, with someone who has done it beside you, to your first paying customer. The business side is set up in your name before your first job.

The next stepA 30-minute call. We talk about you, your trade, your area and the work you want. Nothing to prepare.

Set up for you

The business side, done before your first job.

Built from the 30-minute call, in your name, and sent to you within two days so you see the real thing before deciding anything.

A siteYour name, your trade, your area, your number. Live and hosted.

A verified listingIn the Local Trades directory, with your licence checked against the register.

QuotingA quote out the same day, from your phone.

InvoicingThe invoice follows the job, in your name.

Getting paidCard, e-transfer or cheque, into your account.

A mentor beside you

Someone who has actually done it.

An established plumber or HVAC tech on the island, paired with you for the Launch. Four conversations, about an hour each. When a job comes in that they don’t want, they can send it your way, and you pay them about 10% of that job once the customer has paid you.

01Before your first job. What to have in the truck, on the phone, and on the invoice.

02After your first quote. Whether the number is right, before you send it.

03After your first paid job. What to do differently on the second.

04At day 90. Whether you have a business or a job, and what the next year looks like.

What it costs

Nothing until your first customer pays you.
