You know how to do the work but starting the business can feel overwhelming.

“I’m not sure what paperwork I need to file”
“What’s the right way to set up my business for taxes?”
“I’m afraid I’ll mess up something with taxes or licenses.”
“I don’t want to screw this up and get hit with a surprise bill.”
“I need someone to walk me through how to do it, not give me a lecture.”
“I’ve got the skills—but I’m nervous to leave my job without a plan.”

Knowing your trade isn’t the same as running a business.

Here’s a hard truth: being great at your trade isn’t enough to start a business. Whether you're working solo or managing a crew, the work itself is the easy part; it's the structure behind it that breaks most new businesses.

Most tradespeople aren’t taught how to start a business. No one walks you through what paperwork to file, how to structure for taxes, or how to set up your pricing. So you either wing it or wait and both cost you time and money.

At iCFO, we believe starting your trades business shouldn’t feel risky, it should feel like the first smart step toward building something that’s yours.

I started a business in 2019 and iCFO was recommended to me by a friend that uses them. He told me that I would be foolish not to use them as well. I took his advice and now I can say that they have been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have recommended them to my other friends who are starting out. Max and his team are very knowledgeable on all of the ever changing tax laws. I firmly believe that they will end up saving you a lot of money through their advice and leadership. Thanks a million for all that you guys do at iCFO!
