Industries we serve · Trades & home services
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, handypeople — you already know how to fix things. What usually breaks is the business side: calls, quotes, scheduling, invoices, and follow-up. That’s what we help you stabilize.
On this call, we’ll talk through your trade, service area, and goals — and map out what a realistic launch system looks like for you, without pushing you into a franchise or bloated software.
Most trades and home services businesses don’t fail because they do bad work. They fail because the operation is built on a cell phone, a notepad, and whoever called most recently.
Franchise Free gives you a lean, practical system — not a giant, complicated platform you’ll never fully use. We focus on the basics that actually move the needle.
Your trade skills stay yours. We help you package them into clear offers and workflows that make sense for both you and your customers.
Separate, clearly defined visit types so you’re not treating everything like a fire drill.
Clear packages for common jobs so quoting doesn’t eat your evenings.
Turn one-time work into recurring revenue with maintenance plans.
Franchises and big software platforms often come with heavy fees, lock-in, and features you don’t need. We build a lean stack that you control — using tools that are simple, affordable, and not tied to any one vendor.
Yes. We build for where you are and where you’re headed. The same system can support you as a solo operator or as you add a tech or two later.
That’s fine. If you’re already on a platform you like, we’ll build your website, offers, and client journey around it — or help you simplify if you feel like you’re paying for a lot you don’t use.
Based in Illinois and working nationwide — including St. Louis and central/southern Illinois.
If you’re serious about building a stable, independent trades or home services business — without signing your life away to a franchise — we’ll help you set up systems that can actually support it.
