How to start a Handyman/Trades business in 2026 for less than $400: 1) Basic brand setup (cheap/free) Don’t overthink this. • Simple logo (Looka: looka.com / Canva: canva.com / logo.com: logo.com), or • Just use a clean profile photo works well. You can always upgrade branding later. 2) Google Business Profile (free) I’d set this up immediately. Even if it takes time to get traction, it helps you look legit and gives people a place to find you and leave reviews. It's a must for more reasons than can be mentioned here. 3) Separate business phone (optional but highly recommended) I’d do it early this time. • Free option: Google Voice voice.google.com • Paid option: Zoom phone zoom.com/en/products/vo… ($15 a month-better reception than google phone) a dedicated business line service. Makes it easier to stay organized and keep business separate from personal. 4) Clean mini-website/landing page. (Digital Presence) Now-a-days, I would probably use AI to make this for me in about 30min using Bolt.new bolt.new ... won't cost much except your time. This way you can custom your site to whatever you wish which is pretty awesome. You would need to purchase a domain. Another option i recommend which is the cheapest and fastest way... I'm talking roughly 5 min is to get a TradePass digital business card tradepassapp.com ...which doubles as your mini-website/landing page and comes with your QR code for marketing. Put your link in your google business profile to begin ranking your website in your local area to get inbound leads. 5) Craigslist ads ($5/post) Still prints money. People write it off, but it can still bring in solid work — especially maintenance-type jobs and property management work! What I’d do: • Post clearly • Repost 1–2x/week if needed • Be specific about services • Include your contact info + your web page/profile link One good recurring client from these maintenance companies could bring major cash. I made over $30,000 from just one of these clients last year alone. 6) Thumbtack (set it up carefully) thumbtack.com/pro This is where people waste money. If I used it again, I’d: • fully complete the profile • choose my service area carefully • only select jobs I actually want • respond quickly • watch the budget closely It can produce jobs fast... jobs same day, but only if you set it up right with your "quick response"... include link to your website or card. Pro tip that works better than people realize: If you want property managers or realtors (the kind of clients that can send repeat work for years), do some in-person outreach. This works: • Drop off a small jar of mints/chocolates at local offices • Put your contact info / QR code on it • Dress decent • Introduce yourself professionally • Ask for the right person It’s cheap, memorable, and way better than just emailing people who never reply. Everyone I know, (including myself) who has tried this got good work from doing this. Having a QR code to your website/landing page/business card makes this easy and effective. All in all, just about anyone can do this and eventually gain more work than they can handle themselves... when done properly. This is a proven system for starting out...And it doesn’t even cost a lot money to do it. This post focused on getting jobs/work...
