The trades partnership program

Start a trades business. We run the back office.

Own your work. Keep the upside. Answer to no one. You know the trade, you just never wanted to run the phones, the quotes, and the paperwork. So don't.

This is a partnership for people who are ready to own a business instead of clocking in for someone else. Already have a trade? You go out and do the job while we build and run the entire company around you: the lead generation, the booking, the estimates, the invoicing, the collections, the marketing, and the systems. No trade yet? We help you learn one. You get a real business and a mentor who has built one before, without gambling your savings on figuring it out alone.

Why good tradespeople stay employees

The trade was never the hard part. The business around it is.

You can install the system, pour the pad, wire the panel, or run the crew better than the boss you work for. But going out on your own means answering the phone at dinner, writing quotes at midnight, chasing checks that are sixty days late, and figuring out where the next job comes from when the calendar goes quiet. That part has nothing to do with your skill, and it is the part that sends most people back to a paycheck. And if you do not have a trade yet, the door looks closed before you even start.

The best tradesperson on the truck does not lose to a better tradesperson. They lose to a business they never had time to build. And the person who could have been great never got shown the door in.

How the partnership works

You run the job. We run the company.

One clean split. You handle everything in the field, the part you are already great at. We handle everything that turns your work into a company that grows and pays. Nobody is doing a job they hate, and nothing important falls through the cracks.

You run the job

  • Show up and do the work at a level you are proud of
  • Own the quality, the craft, and the customer on site
  • Hire and lead your crew as the work grows
  • Tell us what you can take on and when
  • Keep your license and your name in good standing

We run the company

  • Lead generation and marketing that keep the calendar full
  • Phones, booking, and scheduling so no call is missed
  • Estimating and quoting priced to actually make money
  • Invoicing and collections so you get paid on time
  • Bookkeeping, reporting, and the systems that hold it together

What we build and run for you

The whole back office, built once and run every day.

We do not hand you software and wish you luck. We stand up the systems, plug in the digital workforce, and operate them alongside you so the business runs whether you are on a roof, under a sink, or asleep.

Mentorship, not a course

A partner who has already built the business you are trying to build.

You are not buying a program and watching videos. You get a partner in the operation with you. We have built and run trades companies, and we know where the money leaks, which jobs to say no to, how to price so a busy month is also a profitable one, and how to grow without the wheels coming off. When a decision comes up that you have never faced, you have someone who has.

The goal is simple: get you from your first job to a real company that runs without you living inside it.

Step 01

Learn or level up

Already have a trade? We skip ahead. New to it? We help you pick the right trade for your market and get you trained, certified, and job ready.

Step 02

Set it up

We stand up the brand, the systems, the phones, and the lead generation, and get you legal and ready to take work.

Step 03

Fill the calendar

We drive the leads, book the jobs, quote the work, and hand you a full schedule. You go do what you do best.

Step 04

Grow the company

Invoices go out, cash comes in, numbers get read, and we add crew and service lines as the demand grows.

How the partnership is structured

We only win when the business wins.

This is not a franchise fee and it is not a monthly bill that shows up whether you work or not. We tie our pay to the company we help you build, so our incentive and yours point the same direction from day one. Grow the business and everyone earns more. That is the whole idea.

Revenue share

A share of the revenue the business generates while we run the back office and drive the work to you.

Profit share

A share of the profit above an agreed baseline, so we are paid on what actually reaches your pocket.

Partner equity

A real ownership split in the company we build together, structured so the operator holds the majority.

Milestone step ups

Terms that improve as you hit revenue and crew milestones, so both sides stay pointed at growth.

The exact structure depends on the trade, the market, and what you bring to the table. We lay it all out in plain language before anyone commits to anything.

Who this is for

Built for the person, not the pitch.

This is for you if

You are skilled at a trade and tired of building someone else's company

You do not have a trade yet but you are willing to learn one and work

You want to own a company, not just have a job with more stress

You are ready to show up, do great work, and let a partner run the rest

This is not for you if

You are looking for passive income without doing the work

You want to buy a course and figure it out alone

You are not willing to learn the craft or hold up your end in the field

You want a vendor to bill, not a partner to build with

Common questions

Before you apply.

What if I don't have a trade yet?

That is fine. You do not need to already be a tradesperson to apply. If you are willing to learn and put in the work, we help you pick the right trade for your market and get you trained, certified, and job ready before we build the business around you. What you bring is the drive to show up and do the work. We handle the path in.

Do I need money to start?

You need to be able to cover your own tools, your license, and your day to day while the first jobs come in. You do not need to fund a marketing budget, hire an office team, or buy software. We build and run that side as the partner, and our pay is tied to the business growing, not to an upfront check.

What trades do you work with?

Skilled field trades where a good operator can build a real book of work: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, concrete, painting, landscaping, restoration, and similar home and commercial service trades. If you are not sure which trade fits you, apply and ask. We will tell you straight.

Do I own the business?

Yes. This is a partnership, not a franchise. You are the operator and, in most structures, the majority owner of the company we build together. We run the back office and share in the upside we help create. The exact split is written out in plain terms before anyone signs.

What do I actually do day to day?

You do the trade. You show up to the jobs we book, do work you are proud of, manage the site and eventually your crew, and tell us your capacity. Everything else, the calls, the quotes, the invoices, the marketing, the numbers, runs on our side.

How do I get started?

Apply through the form. We will have a straight conversation about your trade, your market, and your goals, then lay out exactly how the partnership would work for you. No pressure and no cost to find out if it is a fit.

Not a trades person?

More into tech than tools? Build an income around AI instead.

The partnership model is the same, the work is different. If you are more comfortable behind a laptop than on a jobsite, we help you build and monetize an online business around AI, your knowledge, and the things that already make you interesting. Same idea: you bring the skill and the reps, we build and run the machine around you.
