Eight things have to happen between a customer saying yes and the cash landing in your account. Quote out. Quote chased. Job confirmed. Updates sent. Invoice out. Invoice chased. Review asked for. Next job booked. We do all eight, in your name, while you stay on the tools. Nothing to download, nothing to learn.
Fifteen minutes. No jargon, no slides, no sign-up. If there's nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you.

Sound familiar?
You're not losing money on the tools. You're losing it in the gaps.
Nobody loses a job because the work was bad. They lose it because a message didn't go out. Here's where it actually goes.
The quote sits in your head for a week. By the time you get round to writing it up on a Sunday night, they've had two others and made their mind up.
The quote goes out and you never chase it. You assume no news is a no. A good chunk of that work was yours if somebody had asked twice.
The customer doesn't know what's happening. So they ring you four times while you're in a trench, and every one of those calls costs you ten minutes and your patience.
The invoice goes out three weeks late. Because you were busy. So it gets paid three weeks after that, and you're the one funding the job in the meantime.
The job finishes, they're delighted, and nobody asks. No review, no photo, no next job. Delight has a shelf life of about a week and then it's gone.
Not one of those is a skills problem. Every single one is a message that didn't get sent.
What we actually do
Eight things between yes and paid. We do all eight.
The same eight on every job, in your name, in your words. You don't chase us for them and you don't do them at ten o'clock at night.
01
The call you couldn't take
The phone rings while you're in a trench. Within a minute they get a text in your business name saying you'll be straight back to them, with a link to send the job details. You get a text with who rang and what they're after. He doesn't ring the next man on the list.
02
The quote, out the same day
Talk the job into your phone on the way back to the van: measurements, materials, how long. A clean, itemised quote goes out on your letterhead that day, not next Sunday night.
03
The chase nobody likes doing
The quote gets followed up on day two and again on day five. Polite, not pushy. That second nudge is where most of the work you think you lost actually was.
04
What's happening before you turn up
Start date, what time you'll be there, where you'll park, what they need to move, how long you'll be. Sent before the job so the phone stays quiet while you work.
05
Updates from site without you stopping
Send a photo and six words. It goes out as a proper progress update in your voice. The customer feels looked after and you never put the tools down to type.
06
The invoice, the day you finish
Itemised and clear, out the door while the work is still fresh and they're still pleased with you. Not three weeks later when the goodwill has worn off and they've spent the money.
07
The money, chased without the awkwardness
Overdue invoices followed up firmly and professionally, on a schedule, by us. You are never the one who has to make that phone call, and you stop writing money off because you couldn't face it.
08
The review, the photos and the next job
Asked at the moment they're happiest, not a month later. Proper written permission before your work goes anywhere near social media. One good review at the right time beats a month of advertising.
You can't pick four of the eight. They only work as a chain — a chased quote with no invoice behind it just moves the problem down the road. It's all eight or it's not worth either of us starting.
Who's actually behind this
Run by people who still have crews on site this morning.
ScaleUp is run from inside a working contracting business in Scotland. Not a marketing agency. Not an app somebody bought off the internet and rebranded. People who are still pricing jobs, still running crews and still have the same eight to get right this week.
The eight aren't a theory. They're the same eight our own jobs have to get right, running on the same kit: the site system our crews sign onto every morning, the quote builds, the paperwork the big clients demand. That's what's being opened up to your trade.
We're taking ten to start with, and we'll name them here
This is new, and we'd rather say that than fake a wall of five-star reviews. We're taking on ten trade businesses first so every one of them gets properly looked after, and as they come on we'll put their names and their numbers on this page. If you'd rather wait until somebody else has gone first, that's a fair call and we'll still take the fifteen minutes.
How it works
Three steps, and two of them are ours.
1
A free fifteen-minute call
We walk through your last five jobs and find where the eight broke down. Usually it's two of them doing most of the damage. No jargon, no slides, no pressure. If there's nothing worth fixing we'll say so and you've lost fifteen minutes.
2
We set it up around how you already work
Your logo, your prices, your way of speaking to a customer. Usually live within a few days. You keep your own number, your own email and your own customers. One link on your phone and nothing to learn.
3
It runs, and once a month you see it
You carry on working. On the first of the month you get one plain page: quotes out, quotes chased, jobs confirmed, invoices sent, money chased in, reviews landed. So you always know exactly what you're paying for.
One price, on the page
£4.24 a day. Less than the roll and coffee on the way to the job.
£129 a month for all eight. No setup fee. No contract. No "from £X". No ad spend bolted on the end.

37.5 hours a week at the £12.71 minimum wage. Before NI, pension and holidays.

Need the bigger stuff as well, like risk assessments, method statements and the accreditation paperwork the tier-one clients ask for? That's a different conversation and it lives in Full Build. Ask on the call.
Everything we've promised is a message leaving on time. So that's what we'll guarantee.
In your first month: if a quote you've asked us to send doesn't go out the same working day, or an invoice doesn't go out the day the job finishes, that month is free. You don't have to argue it and you don't have to email support. Tell us and it's done. After that, cancel any time, keep your number, keep your customers, keep your data.
Bolt-ons
For the ones who'd rather let the work do the talking.
Good work only wins the next job if somebody sees it. The first two do the showing off for you: no selfies, no filming yourself, no posting. The third answers the phone so you never have to stop work for it. All three sit on top of the eight and cancel any time.
Show Your Work
+£49 a month
Send the photos you already take on the phone. Every finished job comes back as case-study photos and a short write-up, ready for your Google profile, Facebook and website.
We fix the light, the weather and the mess. We never touch the work. Your next customer is going to compare the photo with what turns up.

A real pad from one of our own jobs. Clutter off, better light, the concrete exactly as poured.
You, Without the Camera
£149 set-up, then +£39 a month
Send us a handful of photos of yourself once. After that you can appear beside your finished jobs, and in short videos about them, without ever posing or filming.
Only you, only with your written say-so, and only on jobs you actually did.
This man doesn't exist, and neither did the photo shoot. AI-made image, to show what yours would look like.
Calls Answered Live
+£59 a month · coming soon
The eight already text back every call you miss. This goes a step further: when you can't pick up, the call is answered in your business name, the job details are taken, and they land on your phone as a text before you're out the trench.
100 minutes a month included, then 50p a minute. The caller is told they've reached your office; nobody is ever told a machine is a person.
Not switched on yet. Say on the call if you want it and you'll be first.
Not ready to talk to anyone?
Take the 60-second check instead.
Five questions about how your last few jobs went. No email, no sign-up, no catch. At the end you get an honest score and the two of the eight you'd want to fix first, whether you ever ring us or not.
Everything goes out in your business name and your words, because they're your customers and it's your relationship. We never pretend to be you personally. When you miss a call, the text that goes back says it's from your business and that you'll be in touch. If you add live call answering, the caller is told they've come through to your office and somebody will get back to them, which is exactly what a firm with a receptionist does. Nobody is ever told a machine is a person.
No. Your number stays yours, your email stays yours, your customer list stays yours, and if you walk away you take the lot with you. We're handling your customers' details on your behalf, which is a formal arrangement, so you get a written data agreement before we touch anything.
There's one button on your phone and that's it. We text you a link, it sits on your home screen like any other app, and there's no password, no app store and no training. Tap New quote, talk the job through and snap a couple of photos. If you can send a voice note, you can use this. That's deliberate: the second something needs learning, it stops getting used.
Never. We work with the number you've already got, on the van and on the cards. Calls still come to you first. We only step in on the ones you miss.
No, and that's on purpose. Chasing a quote is worth very little if the invoice still goes out three weeks late. The eight are a chain from the first call to the review, and breaking bits off it is how you end up paying for something that doesn't move the needle. One price, all eight, or we've both wasted our time.
£129 a month. That's the number. No setup fee, no ad spend on top, no per-message charges, no minimum term.
No, it sits on top. Keep whatever you're already paying for and we'll work with it. The gap isn't usually the software, it's that nobody's driving it. That's the bit we do.
Tell us and we pause the outbound side. If you want to stop altogether, cancel any time with no exit fee and nothing to unwind. It's a monthly arrangement and we'd rather earn it every month than trap you in a contract.
One page a month, in plain English: quotes out, quotes chased, jobs confirmed, invoices sent, money chased in, reviews landed. If that page ever looks thin, you should be cancelling and we'd rather you did.
Us, using the same systems our own contracting business runs on. Some of the eight are automatic, some have a person behind them. On the call we'll tell you exactly which is which, because you should know who's speaking to your customers.
The next job you lose won't be lost on site.
It'll be lost in one of those eight. Fifteen minutes on the phone will tell you which one, and it costs you nothing to find out.
