why work with us?
meet danny, owner of mahi
i’m a carpenter who’s spent the first year of my apprenticeship digging holes and tying steel. unlike others, i know the taste of a beer in the sun after tying steel all day.
i have over 10 years year experience working in the construction and renewables industry. most of which has been on site working between professionals and customers.
i’ve spent time working on site, i won the new zealand apprentice of the Year 2018 working with almost every trade out there. for the last 6 years i have been working with small teams, delivering exceptional renewables projects with design professionals and architects.
i know how hard it is to start your business and get your first customers, to save up and then spend money on yourself and then try to do it on your own. It is hard!
lastly, i know how rewarding it is to make money for by using your own skills.
frequently asked questions
how do i set up a self-employed tradesperson business in the uk?
to set up as a self-employed tradesperson, you must first register as a sole trader with hmrc to manage your own taxes and national insurance. key steps include choosing a unique business name, securing public liability insurance, and setting up a dedicated business bank account. our 6-week program streamlines this by building your legal foundation, brand identity, and specialist website simultaneously.
what is the best way for a new trade business to get its first clients?
the most effective way to secure initial clients is through a combination of local seo and a verified google my business profile. by optimising for keywords like "electrician in [your city]," you capture high-intent local leads. we supplement this with "marketing prep work," teaching you how to build working partnerships and sales processes that turn "quotes" into "confirmed jobs" within your first month.
is it worth paying £2,000 for trade business coaching and branding?
investing £2,000 in your business foundations is equivalent to approximately two weeks of wages at a standard trade rate of £25/hr. this investment provides a lifetime asset: a professional brand, a specialist-designed website, and a scalable sales crm. rather than wasting months on trial and error or some guru who promises to make you a millionaire, you launch with industry-leading marketing systems that typically take years to build alone.
why do i need to do this? can't i just post on my local facebook?
you absolutely can, there are loads of ways you can go out and do side jobs and if that’s what you’d like to do then go for it. however, we are setting this up so that people come to you. you keep working and your system generates you visibility while you sleep and people are typing in what they need.
the completion is getting steeper but the rewards are getting bigger. people’s expectations are also higher now and the first impression is the most important one. there is a trades shortage and now is the time to set your self up, do it once and do it right and start making your own money.
what's your promise to me?
we support you weekly while we build your foundations, working with a small team of professionals who trust. we will project manage your brand and business foundations and ensure your expectations and exceeded.
we are driven and motivated to go a step above everyone else and work with the best in industry. we get our kicks out of helping other people with ambition to grow.
