The job's signed and tested. The admin isn't.

EICRs and test certs stacking up. Quotes written at 9pm with no follow-up. Invoices out days late. We run the back office — supervised, accountable, inside the software you already pay for.

Built for owners running 2–10 techs — kitchen-table crews to small offices.

The triggers we keep hearing

Electrical businesses grow on certifications and repeat contract work — and both live or die on paperwork that nobody has time to run properly.

  • EICR/cert paperwork and test-result admin stacking up between jobs
  • Quotes written at 9pm after a full day on the tools — follow-up never happens
  • EV-charger and solar enquiries growing faster than the back office can process them
  • Invoice-to-payment lag forcing material purchases onto cards
  • Office = the owner's partner. Hiring admin feels unjustifiable at this size

Initial Discovery

Five minutes, six questions. Where your admin hours go and what they're worth — free, instant, honest.

First engagement

A bounded, fixed-fee engagement inside your stack (ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO…): we scope one workflow inside the work and deliver on it — you keep the working lane plus a written close-out.

Managed package

If the first engagement proves the lane, a rolling monthly managed package keeps it handled — scope written, reviewed monthly. If it doesn't, you keep everything delivered.

What we don't do — read this first

  • No completing, signing or advising on EICRs or certificates — that's your registered person's legal role.
  • No tax filing, VAT returns or regulated submissions — your accountant signs off, always.
  • No formal debt collection or legal action — we chase politely, on your terms, to a point.
  • No people-supply arrangements — you buy a managed package, never a person to engage.

Objections we hear: 'I'm too small for this' · 'A VA didn't work before'

Questions owners actually ask

Do you handle EICR / certificate admin?

The admin around it — logging, renewal dates, client reminders, document organisation. We never complete, sign or advise on certificates themselves. That's your registered person's legal role.

Can you keep up with simPRO / ServiceM8 workflows?

Yes — the first engagement scopes your existing stack inside the work and we run inside it. Most electrical firms we map are using a fraction of what they pay for.

Will you chase my customers for payment?

Polite, scheduled, escalating reminders on your terms — you approve the wording and the escalation steps. Formal debt collection or legal action is out of scope, always.

What if I'm a 2-person operation — is this overkill?

Probably not, but let's prove it rather than argue. The free Initial Discovery shows where your hours actually go. The first engagement is fixed-fee and bounded either way.

Do you quote prices on the site?

No. Packages are scoped from your first engagement, not a generic rate card. That keeps the price honest — yours, based on your workload.
