Better margin. Better hires. More free time.
The unglamorous side of running a trade business — costs, contracts, hiring, admin — handled by operators who've actually done it. So you can step off the tools without it falling apart.
If any of this hits home, we should talk.
- Paying too much for materials, but no time to chase better pricing.
- Working 60 hour weeks and still chasing invoices on Sundays.
- Stuck between staying small and scaling — unsure what the next step actually looks like.
- Using rough handshake agreements or terms you copy-pasted from the internet.
- Wanting to hire, but burnt before by apprentices and subbies who didn’t work out.
Six levers we'll pull.
Cost review
Line-by-line review of materials, subcontractors, software and insurance. Renegotiated supplier terms, group-buy access and switching savings — targeting 8–18% off recurring overhead.
Business consulting
Quarterly 1:1 sessions with an advisor who’s actually run a trade business. Pricing strategy, capacity planning, cashflow forecasting, succession.
Contracts
Legally reviewed agreements for residential, commercial, subbie and supply work. Cover variations, retentions, defects liability and prompt-payment terms.
Business audit
Full health check across financials, jobs, marketing, ops and team. Delivered as a written report with prioritised actions and expected $ impact per item.
Virtual assistant
Trained VAs handling quoting follow-ups, invoice chasing, scheduling, supplier ordering and client communication. From 10 hours/week, scalable up.
Hiring
Role scoping, ad copy, screening, working interviews and onboarding playbooks. Apprentices through to leading hands and office staff.
From first call to first wins.
Plan call
30 minutes. We diagnose the three biggest leaks in your business right now.

Quarterly review
Re-measure, recalibrate, decide what comes next. Continue, pause or stop — entirely up to you.
From audit to recurring wins.
Full business audit. Three biggest leaks identified with $ impact.
First cost savings landed. Contracts updated. Quoting templates redesigned.
Operations tightened, first hire onboarded if applicable, recurring savings + new revenue flowing.
The usual leaks in a trade P&L.
Overlapping subscriptions, unused seats and policies that were never re-quoted. Usually the fastest savings in the whole review.
Pricing that has crept for years without a renegotiation, and buying that could be pooled for better rates.
Hours lost to quoting and chasing paperwork, and maintenance-plan revenue most trades never set up.
