About Trades of America

Helping skilled tradespeople own their own business.

Trades of America exists for one reason: to help hard-working, skilled tradespeople put their own name on their work — instead of building someone else's company. You do what you're great at, the trade. We handle the entire business side, and you own 100% of what we build.

The problem we set out to solve

Skilled tradespeople are some of the most capable people there are. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, concrete crews — masters of a craft that takes years to learn. Plenty of them have thought about going out on their own. So why don't more of them?

It's almost never the work. Ask around, and you hear the same answer over and over: it's the business side. The formation paperwork. The taxes. The bank. The bookkeeping. The marketing. It's a completely different skill set from the trade — and it's the wall that stops good people from ever putting their own name on the truck.

The paperwork shouldn't be the thing that decides who gets to own a business.

What we do

We handle the entire business side of starting and running your company, so you can stay focused on the work you're great at. That means:

Business formationYour business formation and tax-ID paperwork — guided from start to finish.
Money & booksBusiness banking and bookkeeping set up and kept running.
Your presenceA professional website, business phone, and email.
Getting customersLocal marketing, reviews, and your Google presence.
Supplier pricingAccess to better pricing on equipment and materials.
Ongoing supportPayroll when you're ready to hire, plus a compliance calendar.

You own everything

This is the part that matters most, so we say it plainly: you own 100% of your business. The LLC is yours. Your customers are yours. Your revenue is yours. Your name goes on the work. Trades of America builds and supports the business behind you — we take no ownership of your company, ever.
