How Access Works

Why We Manage Access

We limit the number of businesses in each trade and area to prevent oversaturation. This means better results for those who get access, but not everyone can join immediately.

Area Coverage Limits

Each area can only support a certain number of businesses in each trade before it becomes too crowded. Too many plumbers in one town means fewer jobs for each plumber.

We track how many businesses we have in each trade across different areas. When an area reaches its limit for a particular trade, we stop accepting new applications until space becomes available.

How this helps:

More work opportunities for each business that gets access

Better customer experience with appropriate choice

Sustainable system that works long-term

Quality maintained rather than quantity maximized

When Applications Are Declined

If your application cannot be accepted, it's not personal. It simply means there isn't currently space in your requested areas for your trade.

Common Reasons for Decline

Most declines happen because the areas you want to cover already have enough businesses in your trade. This is about area capacity, not about your business or qualifications.

Sometimes different areas have different availability. We might be able to offer access in some areas but not others, depending on current coverage levels.

Typical decline reasons:

Area already has sufficient coverage for your trade

Requested coverage areas overlap too much with existing businesses

High demand trade with limited available spots

Currently pausing new applications while system develops
