Not another portal. A business you can switch off from.
Another login. Another dashboard to check. Another thing to learn after a ten-hour day. You’ve got enough of those already.
What you want is to transform the business and have some peace of mind. Here’s what we hear from tradies, and what we built Tradies Bureau around.

What tradies actually want
To get paid properly.
Every dollar you’ve earned for the work you’ve done. Not “close enough”, and not just the bits you remembered to chase.
To not get blindsided.
No surprise lapse, audit, dispute or fine. You hear about a problem while it’s still a small one.
To be left alone to do the work.
You got into the trade to work with your hands, not to run an office.
To switch off.
A holiday, a Sunday night, a sick day, without the phone ringing.
To eventually step back.
Especially for owners in their mid-50s and beyond. You want to hand over a business that’s still worth something and still running.
What Tradies Bureau gives you
One app keeps track of the paperwork that keeps you legal, and tells you when something needs you. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no relying on your memory. Here’s what that’s worth.
-
Your evenings, weekends and headspace back.
The paperwork and compliance stop following you home. Sunday night is just Sunday night, and you make better calls on site when you’re not carrying an inbox in your head.
-
Payment claims that don’t slip.
Log a payment claim and Tradies Bureau works out when the schedule and the payment are due under Security of Payment rules, then reminds you before those dates pass.
-
No nasty surprises.
Tradies Bureau watches the deadlines, licences and obligations so you don’t have to. You hear about a problem early, with what needs doing.
-
Trust that’s already proven, in one push of a button.
Builders and other trades want to know you’re properly licensed and insured before they’ll work with you. You can share your credentials and insurance in a tap.
Builders and head contractors
See you’re current, so you get on the tools faster.
Customers
Can ask for proof and get it straight away, which says a lot about how you run your business.
Your own subbies
Are checked too. You know their credentials and insurance are in place before they set foot on site.
-
A business that runs without you holding it up.
When the systems and records are in order, the business stops depending on your memory and your hours. That makes a holiday possible now and a sale or handover possible later, with something worth handing over.

One app for the paperwork that keeps you on the tools
See what's met, missing or due soon
Everything that applies to your business, your people and your jobs, in one place. Tick "Doesn't apply" with a reason when it doesn't.
- Licences, registrations, insurance, training and job certificates
- A Sunday email, and WhatsApp alerts for anything critical
One live link instead of a pile of PDFs
Send customers and builders a link to your registration and insurance. It reads your records each time it's opened, so it's never out of date.
- Links to check registrations on the official register
- A QR code for the ute, your website or email signature
Run tenders on compliant trades
Put a work package out to quote. Trades reply from a link, no account needed, and you see each bidder's licence and insurance checked against the job before you award it.
- What every bidder must hold, with minimum cover
- Share the quotes with your client, read only
