ScaleUp
The back office your trade business is missing

You've got the skills. We build the business.

When someone in your area searches "driveway installer near me," "solar panels near me," or "emergency plumber near me" — you need to show up. And when the phone rings, someone needs to answer it. We handle both. Lead generation, phone answering, email management, quoting follow-up. Your own back-office team, from £149/mo.

This is what's happening right now.

You're on site. Hands full. Phone's in the van. And this is what's piling up:

  • Missed calls going to voicemail. Customers don't leave messages — they call the next guy.
  • Emails sitting unread for days. Enquiries going cold. Quotes never followed up.
  • Customers chasing you — then giving up and going elsewhere. You lose the job and never even know.
  • No online presence. When someone searches for what you do, you're invisible. The work goes to whoever shows up first.

You don't need more skills.

You need someone answering the phone while you're on the tools.

ScaleUp takes over

That's the difference.

Every call answered. Every quote followed up. Every customer looked after — while you're on site doing what you do best. No more missed opportunities. No more bad reviews you didn't deserve.


We fill your diary. You do the work.

ScaleUp is a done-for-you lead system built specifically for tradesmen. We handle your online presence, run local ads, and put your phone in front of people who are actively searching for what you do — right now, in your area.

You're not buying marketing. You're buying a full diary and the freedom to charge what your work is worth.

1

We build your presence

Professional one-page website, Google Business Profile, and local SEO — all set up within 72 hours. You go from invisible to showing up when it matters.

2

Your phone starts ringing

When someone near you searches "driveway installer," "solar panel installer," "plumber near me," or "electrician [your town]" — they find you. Real people, real jobs, in your area. Not tyre-kickers from Checkatrade.

3

You quote, you win, you earn

You pick the jobs that suit you. Quote properly — no racing to the bottom. We keep the pipeline full so you're always choosing, never chasing.


Here's the maths. It's not complicated.

One job covers months of the service. Everything after that is pure profit in your pocket.

Average driveway job £3,000
Materials & labour −£1,200
Your profit per job £1,800
ScaleUp Starter (monthly) −£149
Net gain from just 1 weekend job +£1,651

This example uses a driveway job — the maths works the same whether you're laying artificial grass, fitting a bathroom, installing solar panels, or rewiring a house. Most tradesmen land 3–5 jobs per month. You do the sums.

For established businesses

Already busy? Let's make you bulletproof.

  • Accreditations roadmap & application support (CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor)

Our guarantee

5 Qualified Enquiries in 30 Days — Or We Work Free Until You Get Them

Not clicks. Not impressions. Real people in your area asking for a quote on real work. If we don't deliver at least 5 in your first month, we keep working at no charge until we do. Applies to Growth and Full Build tiers.


Don't take our word for it.

Tradesmen across the UK are already scaling up. Here's what they're saying.


We don't just fill your diary.
We help you build a business.

Most lead gen services stop at getting you enquiries. We go further — because getting busy is only half the picture. Keeping more of what you earn and unlocking bigger opportunities is the other half.

£

Tax Guidance in Plain English

Self-assessment, CIS deductions, VAT thresholds, what you can claim for your van, your tools, your fuel — we explain it all in language that makes sense. When to register for VAT. Whether going limited would save you money. How CIS deductions work and how to get them back. What expenses you're probably missing. We give you the knowledge most tradesmen only get after an expensive mistake.

General guidance based on HMRC rules, not formal tax advice. We'll tell you when you need an accountant — and what to tell them when you get there.

Accreditations & Contract Readiness

When you're ready to go beyond private jobs and start tendering for contracts or joining frameworks, you'll need accreditations. CHAS, CSCS, SafeContractor, Constructionline — we guide you through the full process. What you need, how to apply, what evidence to prepare. The door to bigger work isn't locked — most tradesmen just don't know which key to use.


This is for you if…


Never turn down good work again.
Partner up.

Good tradesmen shouldn't knock back work because they can't cashflow it. You've got the skills, you've won the work, the customer's said yes — but the materials bill lands before you see a penny. That's where most grafters say no to jobs they know they can do. Partner Up means you never have to.

You're not working for someone else. You're working for yourself — with someone behind you.

We match you with a vetted, established trade business who backs the project financially. They front the costs. You bring the skills and the customer relationship. You split the profit on a written, agreed basis. This isn't subcontracting — you keep the customer, you run the job, you make the decisions. The partner provides the cashflow and infrastructure you don't have yet.

1

You win the job

A customer wants a full garden landscaping — artificial grass, sleeper beds, new patio, fencing. You've quoted it at £8k, they've said yes. But £3k in materials before you start? That's more than you can bankroll on your own.

2

We match you with a partner

From our network of credit-checked, insured businesses with a track record of completing projects. ScaleUp draws up the agreement — costs, profit split, payment terms — and both sides sign before a shovel moves. No handshake deals.

3

You deliver. You earn.

You do the work. The partner covers materials and plant. When the job's done and paid, you take your agreed share — typically 40–60% of profit depending on the job. On that £8k landscaping job, that's £2,000–£3,000 in your pocket. No debt, no credit cards, no turning down work you know you can do.

Works for any trade. Landscaping, bathrooms, driveways, extensions, solar PV — if you can win the work and deliver it, Partner Up handles the cashflow. Every partner business is vetted by ScaleUp. Every agreement is in writing. If anything goes sideways, we're in the middle.

Common questions

On Starter, you'll start appearing in local searches within 1–2 weeks as your Google Business Profile indexes. On Growth and Full Build, your ads go live within 72 hours and most tradesmen see their first enquiry within 14 days. We guarantee at least 5 qualified enquiries in your first 30 days on Growth or Full Build — or we work for free until you get them.
Nothing. We build everything, manage everything, and run everything. Your only job is to answer the phone when it rings and quote the work. We'll send you a quick WhatsApp summary each week so you know what's happening — that's it.
Three tiers for tradesmen getting started or growing: Starter is £149/month — website, Google Business Profile, and local SEO. Growth is £349/month plus ad spend — adds Google Ads and tax guidance. Full Build is £549/month plus ad spend — adds phone answering, quoting follow-up, and review management. For established businesses wanting to professionalise, our Pro and Pro + Growth packages cover SOPs, accreditations, process mapping, and more — priced on enquiry because every business is different. No setup fees. No lock-ins on any tier.
How many enquiries did your last Facebook post get? A Facebook post reaches about 3% of your followers. Google Ads puts you in front of people who are actively searching for a driveway installer, a solar panel company, a plumber, or an electrician right now, in your area, ready to pay. That's the difference between hoping someone sees your post and catching someone mid-search.
No contracts, no tie-ins. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Your website and Google Business Profile are yours to keep. We're confident you won't want to stop once the phone's ringing — but there's no lock-in.
No. Those platforms put you alongside 20 other tradesmen fighting for the same job. ScaleUp builds your own presence — your website, your Google listing, your ads. When someone finds you, they're finding you. Not comparing you to a list of competitors.
If you want to go beyond private work and start tendering for contracts or joining frameworks, you'll need accreditations like CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline, or CSCS cards. We guide you through the full process — what you need, how to apply, and what evidence to prepare. It's included in the Full Build tier, or available as an add-on.
No — and we're upfront about that. We don't replace an accountant. What we do is explain HMRC's rules in plain English so you're not flying blind. Self-assessment deadlines, CIS deductions (and how to get them back), when VAT registration kicks in, what you can claim for your van and tools, whether going limited would save you money, how to pay yourself tax-efficiently. The stuff most tradesmen only find out about when HMRC sends a letter — or when they've already overpaid. When you do need an accountant, we'll tell you exactly what to ask them.
Say you've quoted a homeowner £12k for a full solar PV system but you can't front £6k in panels, batteries, and scaffolding. We match you with an established business from our network. They front the costs, you deliver the install, and you split the profit on a pre-agreed basis. You keep the customer relationship and you run the job. It's not subcontracting — it's a partnership that lets you take on bigger work without going into debt or turning it down. Works for any trade, not just solar. Available to all ScaleUp members.
Any time. Most tradesmen start on Starter, see the results, and move to Growth within 2–3 months. There's no penalty, no new setup fee — you just step up and we turn the tap on. Everything you've built on Starter carries forward.
