The stack for your kind of shop
What shops your size actually run — core platform, the usual gaps, and the signals that mean it's time to upgrade. Editorial framing, not a survey result.
The self-employed tradesperson or micro-crew running on personal hustle and minimal tooling. Jobs are dispatched from a phone, invoices are often paper or a basic app, and new work arrives through word-of-mouth and marketplace listings. Technology decisions are driven by cost sensitivity and simplicity, not capability gaps.
Solo operators and small crews doing residential service/repair
Growing residential service companies with 20-100+ employees
Commercial GCs managing multi-stakeholder projects
Guides — running it well
Pick a stage above and this reorders to it. Defaulting to Run, since that's most owners most of the time.
Revenue is vanity, cash flow is sanity. Profitable shops still go under when the cash arrives later than payroll.
Hire when you're turning down profitable work — and classify them as a W-2 employee, not a 1099 dodge.
A handful of numbers tell you the business is healthy before the P&L does. Track these weekly.
W-2 salary plus S-corp distributions, a reasonable-comp threshold, and why taking too little is as dangerous as taking too much.
Your pricing model decides your margin and your valuation. Move from hourly toward flat rate and recurring revenue as you grow.
Scaling beyond yourself: dispatch, call handling, tech-stack upgrades, and when to hire a manager instead of another tech.
Recurring revenue smooths cash flow, fills slow seasons, and adds 0.5–1.0 turns to your valuation multiple.
