Who is Trade Connection NOT for?

Not for people looking for employment - although you could do some contract work for a company first and then see if they want to take you on as an employee.

Not for the general public who want a deck/garage/kitchen built for a fixed price.

How do payments work?

The worker sends the trade business an invoice for their time and the business pays the worker promptly, just like they usually would.

Does Trade Connection take a cut?

Nope.

We aren't here to inflate hourly rates. When you book someone, the rate you pay is the rate the worker gets.

What does Trade Connection do?

It's a platform to connect tradies with trade businesses and manage the booking process.

The work, payments and arranging how many hours to work in a day is up to you, just like it usually is.

Trade Connection is only for like minded tradies, not for consumers looking to get the lowest price...
