You Run the Jobs.
We Run the Paperwork.
ServiceBoss handles the business side for the trades — licence and bond requirements for your trade and state, the LLC and EIN, insurance guidance, and a website built around service work.
People who would rather file the form
than watch you lose the job over it
We started ServiceBoss because the hardest part of running a trade isn't the trade. It's the licence you didn't know your state required, the bond a general contractor asks for on the morning of the job, the LLC you need before a bank will open an account, and the website that never got built because you were on a roof. We do that side of it.
Whether you're a one-van operation going legitimate or a crew of twelve chasing bigger commercial work, ServiceBoss keeps the paperwork from being the thing that holds the job up.
Six Jobs Off Your Plate
The office work every trade business needs, handled in one place so you can stay on the tools.
Business Formation
LLC, S-Corp or DBA filed with your state, your EIN, and a registered agent so your home address stays off the public record.
Licence Requirements
What your trade needs in your state to work legally — every item with the authority that issues it, so you can prove it.
Insurance & Bonding
General liability, workers’ comp, commercial auto and surety bonds — what each one does and which ones apply to you.
Website & Hosting
A site shaped like service work: service area, quote requests, before-and-after photos, and a phone number that rings.
Domain & Business Email
Your own .com and an inbox that is not a Gmail address — the difference between a hobby and a company on a quote.
Trademark Protection
Search and file with the USPTO so nobody else builds on the name you put on the truck.
Licensed, insured and online
before the next bid.
- Requirements answered for your trade and your state, not for "small business" in general
- Every licence item carries the authority that issues it — hand it to a GC, an insurer or a bank
- The LLC, the EIN and the registered agent in one pass, so licence applications do not stall
- State filing fees passed through at cost, itemised before you pay
- A website built around service area, quotes and callbacks — not a storefront
- A person answers when a filing is rejected
How We Work for You
Four promises we hold ourselves to every time you hand us something.
Sourced, never guessed
Every requirement we give you names the board or agency that issues it and the date a human read it.
Priced at cost
State filing fees are passed through exactly. What the state charges is what you pay.
Built for one trade at a time
A plumbing licence is not a roofing licence. We answer for your trade in your state, not for business in general.
A person answers
If a filing is rejected or the state comes back with a question, we handle it and tell you what happened.
Behind Every Van on the Road
We do the service. You be the boss.
