Answer 15 simple questions and we take it from there: business name, ABN, website, bookings, quotes, invoices and card payments, all set up for you in days, for one flat one-off fee. A couple of things stay with you, like your licence and insurance, and we’ll show you exactly where to sort them.
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, domain, a website written for your trade, invoicing and payments, calendar — typically done within 2–3 business days. You'll get a message at each milestone, and the couple of quick verification steps that need you are one tap each.
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 real person 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.
One-off fee for the full build. No subscription, nothing ongoing unless you add the care plan later. Why cheaper for the first five? You’re helping us launch: we’ll ask for honest feedback and, if you’re happy, a review. After the first five, it’s $399.
Agencies take two to six weeks. Doing it yourself takes most people months, and plenty never finish. We typically take two to three days, because software does the heavy lifting.
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.
There are services that register your business, builders that give you a website, apps that run your jobs and providers that take payments. Normally that's four sign-ups, four logins and nothing talking to each other. We set up the whole thing, already connected, in one go.
| Build Your Biz | Setup agency | Do it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to set up | Days, typically 2–3 | 2–6 weeks | Weeks to months |
| Cost | $199 founding | $2,000–$5,000+ | "Free" + your weekends |
| Your effort | 15 questions, 2 taps | Calls, emails, reviews | All of it |
| Everything connected | Yes, out of the box | Usually | Rarely |
| Lock-in | None | Often a retainer | None |
The short version: an agency does great work, but it costs thousands and still needs you to drive it, chase it and answer its questions. Doing it yourself is free, but it’s weeks of learning a dozen tools that don’t talk to each other. We’re the third option: done for you, done in days, one flat price.
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.

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 real person 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.
Yes. Commercial clients ask for more paperwork — higher insurance limits, safety documents, a capability statement. Your Success Pack includes a plain-English commercial checklist and a drafted capability statement ready to fill in, so you know exactly what to have ready before you chase that first big job. The compliance decisions themselves stay with you and your broker.
No. Every build finishes with a Success Pack: what's been set up, your first 30 days one step at a time, the insurance that matters (for the business and for you personally), whether your trade's association is worth joining, your first five social posts written for you, and the 20-minute Friday routine that replaces the Sunday paperwork dread. Simple on purpose, one thing a week. See a sample Success Pack →
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.
