Start a handyman business
Ten small jobs a week adds up to a real business - once it is set up like one.
What slows handymen down
- Knowing which jobs your state says need a licensed trade
- Punch lists with twenty little items
- Small invoices that are easy to forget to send
- Landlords who want a company, not a guy
What Service Boss handles
Where the licence line falls
Pick handyman and your state to see what is required, sourced to who issues it - including the job size where a contractor licence starts, if your state sets one.
Punch-list quotes
Every item a line with its own price, so the customer can say yes to the ones they want - then invoice the same list.
Turn work for landlords
An LLC and a proper invoice are what property managers want before they put you on the turn list.

How it goes
A retired machinist doing odd jobs forms an LLC, gets on two property managers' turn lists and quotes every punch list item by item.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
