Business name, ABN, website, bookings, quotes, invoices, card payments — all set up for you overnight, for one flat fee. $199 for founding customers (normally $399). A couple of things stay with you, like your licence and insurance, and we’ll show you exactly where to sort them. The rest happens while you sleep.
Founding pilot: 5 spots at $199 in exchange for honest feedback. Everything in your name.
Everything an agency would charge thousands for, done by software while you sleep. The only things we can't do for you are the two identity checks the government and the banks require — we'll text you when it's time to tap "verify".
Your trade, your name, your area, how you want to get paid. Plain English, on your phone, over a beer if you like. No documents to upload, no jargon to decode.
YOUR TIME: ~10 MINUTESRegistrations lodged, domain secured, website written and designed for your trade, invoicing and payments configured, calendar switched on. You'll get a text at each milestone.
YOUR TIME: 2 TAPS TO VERIFY YOUR IDOne email, one login, everything working together. A 5-minute guided tour shows you how to quote, invoice and take a payment. Stuck? Chat to us any hour — a human reads every email.
YOUR TIME: 5 MINUTESNo packages to compare, no quote to wait for, no "book a call to find out". Software does the work, so you don't pay consultant prices.
Everything you need set up and connected, ready for your first job.
Completely optional — everything keeps working without it. This is for never having to think about hosting, renewals or updates again. Works out to about a dollar a day.
Government fees (like the ASIC business name fee, currently under $100 for 3 years) are passed through at cost — we'll show you the exact total before you pay. Everything is registered in your name, so you're never locked into us.
Agencies take two to six weeks. Doing it yourself takes most people months, and plenty never finish. We take one night, because software doesn’t sleep.
You're not paying for meetings, account managers or an office in the city. Automation does the build, so a full business setup costs less than one day of a consultant's time.
Your domain, your website, your customer data, your accounts. Cancel the monthly plan and it all keeps working. We win by being useful, not by holding your business hostage.
Honcho registers you. Wix gives you a website. ServiceM8 runs your jobs. Stripe takes payments. We're the only place that gives you the whole thing, already connected, in one go.

Big companies pay consultants serious money to make their systems work together. Tradies get told to figure it out themselves. We knew there was a better way: one simple form, one flat price, everything set up properly and connected, in your name.
So you start ahead of the pack — a business that looks sharp, quotes fast and gets paid on time, from day one.
— Build your Biz, Melbourne
Software does the build — registrations lodged through licensed registration partners, your website generated and written for your trade, your tools connected automatically. Support runs through chat and email, and a human reads every email. What you don't get is meetings, phone tag and a six-week wait. That's the point.
You own everything — domain, website, software accounts, customer data, all registered in your name from the first minute. The $39/month plan is optional and cancel-anytime. Walk away whenever you like and your business keeps running.
Two quick checks the law requires from you personally: one so the ATO knows it's really you behind the ABN, and one so the payments provider can send money to your bank account. We'll text you a link for each — about two minutes all up. It's the only part we legally can't do for you.
The questionnaire asks what you've already got. We skip what exists, build what's missing, and connect it all — same flat price.
Trade licences, insurance, tax and legal advice — those stay with the licensed professionals (the handover email tells you exactly what to sort and where). Government fees are passed through at cost, and your ongoing software subscriptions are in your name.
Hipages sends you leads. We build the business that catches them — the website, the quoting, the invoicing, the follow-ups. Use both if you like: Hipages for extra work, Build Your Biz for everything that happens after the phone rings.
15 questions tonight, one flat price, and the messy first weeks of starting a business simply don’t happen. $199 as a founding customer (normally $399).
