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
Market Oversaturation
Too many competitors: Areas flooded with businesses in same trades
Unsustainable growth: Platforms prioritize quantity over quality
Local markets damaged: Healthy competition becomes destructive
Unfair System
Platform profits: Money made from competition, not success
Tradesperson losses: Pay for leads whether they win work or not
Customer confusion: Overwhelmed by too many options and calls
Our Breaking Point
We watched good local tradespeople struggle with these systems. Skilled professionals were spending more time bidding than working, and local markets were becoming unfair and unsustainable.
"There had to be a better way to connect local tradespeople with customers - one that was fair, sustainable, and actually helped local businesses thrive instead of just survive."
