Running a trade business
shouldn't feel like this.

Most contractors are juggling multiple tools, a spreadsheet to link them, and still can't answer the questions that matter.

01
You don't know if you can make payroll Friday

On thirty and sixty day payment terms you're never quite sure where you stand until it's too late.

“I'd check my bank balance every Thursday and just hope for the best.”
02
Three systems and a spreadsheet to hold them together

Hours every week making them talk to each other — and it's always out of date by the time you look.

“I was spending more time on admin than running the business.”
03
Jobs overrun and you find out too late

Labour creeps over. Materials cost more than quoted. You don't know until the damage is done.

“By the time I realised it was overrunning, I was already in trouble.”
The Founder Story
“I got tired of not knowing. So I built something that tells me before it happens.

I've run a painting and decorating business for over ten years. Multiple software systems, a spreadsheet to link them, and I still didn't know if I could make payroll on Friday.

Once I could see everything clearly — every job, every penny, every hour — gross profit stayed above target every single month. Because when you can see it, you can manage it.

I've built AI into the core of it. It learns your business and starts telling you things you didn't even know to ask. Your own CFO in your pocket.

Why contractors switch

Built for trades who've outgrown
the basic tools.

Per-user pricing adds up fast. A team of 8 on typical job software pays over £300/month — for less than half of what Grafter Lab does.
