Starting a service or trade business means making dozens of spending decisions with limited cash and limited experience. Without field-specific guidance, new founders rely on trial and error, burning through their budget before the business has a chance to grow.
A structured framework that tests every spending decision before the dollar leaves the business.
Vertical guidance sheets tailored to your field, covering equipment, tools, supplies, and sourcing from U.S.-based manufacturers.
Recommendations calibrated to your stage, from pre-launch through year five, with an ongoing feedback loop on your actions.
Trade Founders serves owner-operated and small-crew businesses in their first five years of operation, the highest-risk lifecycle window, where cash decisions matter most and professional guidance is often out of reach.
Trade Founders was created by an entrepreneur with an MBA in Finance and corporate asset management experience, who left the corporate world to build a home service business from scratch. Starting with a minimal $3,000 setup in an oversaturated market, he grew the business to over $116,000 in annual revenue in less than two years, serving 200+ customers with 75+ five-star reviews.
That combination, financial expertise and the hands-on reality of building a service business, is what Trade Founders is built on.
