Who it's for
This is built for skilled masons who are ready to stop building someone else's company and start their own — who hold, or are working toward, the registration or license their work requires. If the trade is the easy part and the "business stuff" is what's held you back, that's exactly the part we take off your plate.

What's included in done-for-you masonry setup?
We guide you through your business formation and tax-ID paperwork, then open and structure your business bank account, set up QuickBooks bookkeeping, build a professional website on your own domain, provision a business phone and email, and stand up your local marketing including your Google Business Profile. You launch as a fully operational masonry business you own 100%.
How much does it cost?
Setup is a one-time launch package, with an ongoing partnership as we continue to support and grow your business. Because early founding partners get founder's-rate pricing, we walk you through the exact numbers on a free consultation rather than list them here.
Do I own my business?
Yes — you own 100% of your business. Your company, your customers, and your revenue are entirely yours. We build and support the business and take no ownership of your company.
How long until I'm up and running?
Once you have the registration or license your work requires, we can have you set up and booking jobs in about a week, because we run all the setup in parallel while you focus on the trade.
Which states do you serve?
We set up masonry businesses in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you're in one of these five states, we can build your business.
What if I don't have my registration or license yet?
You'll need the credential your work requires to operate — for small residential masonry in South Carolina that may be a no-exam specialty registration, and for full structures a builder or contractor license. Registration is usually quick — book the call and we'll point you to your state board's current requirements, then get everything else ready so you can launch the moment you're registered.
