TradeMatch is the complete build-to-launch blueprint for an on-demand skilled-trades staffing marketplace — connecting local HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses with verified, available tradespeople for overflow labor, emergency coverage, and short-term jobs, with a clean staffing-markup revenue model built in.
A skilled-labor shortage in the trades is a widely reported small-business hiring challenge — and a job turned away is revenue that never gets recovered.
This page describes a widely reported small-business hiring challenge in the skilled trades. It does not cite a single precise statistic as guaranteed fact — always verify current NFIB, BLS, or trade-association figures before using them in your own materials. The book's Research & Sources chapter walks through how to find and cite current numbers.
Everything you need to answer: if I wanted to turn this into a real business, what exactly would I need to build first?
Full two-sided marketplace design — how demand from businesses and supply from tradespeople reinforce each other.
Six business-side and six worker-side personas, fully profiled, plus a scored beachhead-market framework.
How TradeMatch scores and ranks available workers against a job in real time — with a full worked scoring example.
Licensing checks, background screening, ratings, and the trust signals that make businesses comfortable booking a stranger.
The 15–20% staffing markup model (18% at launch), worked examples, and the math behind every completed job.
A manual "concierge" MVP, a no-code MVP, full system architecture, and a complete database schema.
Worker classification, liability, insurance requirements, and a 20-failure-mode risk register for the marketplace model.
Sales scripts for the first 100 businesses and an acquisition plan for the first 1,000 tradespeople.
3-year projections, first-$10K and first-$100K math, business model canvas, pitch deck outline, and funding scenarios.
Ready to build something real, not just brainstorm ideas.
Want a scoped, buildable plan that fits around a day job.
Studying two-sided marketplace mechanics and flywheels.
Already close to the trades and looking for the next platform play.
Want the business model canvas, pitch deck, and financial model done for them.
The book walks through this exact math — and the full unit-economics model behind it — job by job.
Overflow labor, emergency coverage, or a short-term job — trade, location, timing, and required certifications.
Verified, available tradespeople are scored and ranked against the job in real time — full scoring logic inside the book.
Clear terms, clear pay, and a verified worker profile shown before either side commits.
The worker is paid their rate, the business is invoiced with the launch markup applied, and TradeMatch keeps the spread.

This is a complete written blueprint — product spec, technical architecture, business model, and launch plan for a marketplace called TradeMatch. It is not source code or a working application.
No. The book is written for a first-time, non-technical founder and includes both a manual "concierge" MVP path and a no-code MVP path, so you can validate the idea before writing any code.
No. HVAC in the Phoenix, AZ metro is used throughout the book purely as an illustrative teaching example for beachhead-market scoring and go-to-market planning — not a real operating launch.
No. It's a worked example used throughout the book to make the staffing-markup revenue model concrete and easy to follow — actual figures will vary by trade, market, and job.
No. You're purchasing an educational blueprint that teaches you how to design, build, and launch a marketplace business like the one described — not a franchise, license, or existing company.
Every financial figure, formula, and projection is clearly labeled as an illustrative assumption or planning example — the book is explicit about the difference between verified facts and worked examples.
An instant-download PDF, 210 pages, delivered immediately after checkout.
No. The book explicitly recommends engaging qualified legal, insurance, and financial counsel — especially around worker classification and liability — before launching a real staffing marketplace.
