Everything you need to run your business — all in one place, completely free

Running your own trade business should not mean drowning in admin. You are good at your craft. You should be spending your time doing it — not chasing invoices, fumbling through WhatsApp threads to find a client's address, or wondering where your next job is coming from.

HandyHive was built with one idea at its core: give skilled people the tools they need to work smarter, earn more, and stop stressing about the business side. And we mean all the tools — profile, portfolio, invoicing, client tracking, chat, and AI — in one place, from the moment you sign up.

HandyHive is completely free until the end of 2026. No credit card. No trial period. No hidden fees. Every feature on this page — available to you right now, at zero cost.

Here is everything that is waiting for you.

Your professional profile: ready in 5 minutes

Most platforms make setup feel like a chore. HandyHive makes it feel like sending a text.

When you sign up, you will be asked a handful of simple questions: your name, your trade or skill, your location, and what services you offer. That's it. No lengthy forms, no support tickets, no waiting for approval.

In about 5 minutes, you have a live professional page — with your name, your services, your location, and a contact button. Clients in your area can already find you.

From there, you can make it yours:

Write a short bio. Two or three sentences about who you are and what makes you good at what you do.
Upload a profile photo. It doesn't have to be professional — clear and friendly is enough.
Set your services and availability. So clients know exactly what you offer and when you are free.

That is your foundation. Now let's make it stand out.

Show your work: upload previous job photos

Words tell clients what you do. Photos show them that you do it well.

HandyHive gives you a full gallery on your profile where you can upload photos from past jobs. A freshly tiled bathroom. A neat electrical cabinet. A garden transformation. A painting job where the edges are perfect. Whatever you are proud of — put it there.

Clients browse profiles before they decide. A gallery full of real work is worth more than any written description. It answers the question they are all quietly asking: "Is this person actually good?"

You can add photos right from your phone. No editing software, no design skills needed. Just your best work, on display.

Connect your Facebook page

Already have a Facebook business page with photos, reviews, and years of history? You don't have to leave any of it behind.

HandyHive lets you connect your Facebook page to your profile. Your existing social presence becomes part of your HandyHive identity — giving new clients even more reason to trust you before they have even spoken to you.

It takes about 30 seconds and means your reputation works twice as hard.

Invoicing: done before you pack your tools

Here is the part most tradespeople quietly dread: the paperwork after the job.

HandyHive has a full invoicing system built in. Once you complete a job, you can create an invoice directly on the platform — it is pre-filled with the client's details, the services you agreed on, and the date. You just fill in the amount, check the tax rate for your country, and send it.

The client receives a clean, professional invoice by email. You can track whether it has been viewed and whether it has been paid — all from your dashboard.

No spreadsheets. No chasing. No printed forms. Just: job done, invoice sent, money incoming.

Client tracking: know your business at a glance

Over time, your HandyHive dashboard becomes a real picture of your business.

You can see all your clients in one place — their contact details, the jobs you have done for them, the invoices you have sent, and their history with you. If a client calls to ask about a job from six months ago, you can find everything in seconds.

This matters more than it sounds. Knowing your client history means you can follow up at the right moment, offer a returning discount when it makes sense, and build the kind of relationship that turns a one-off job into a long-term client.

Integrated chat: talk to clients without leaving the app

No more mixing client conversations across WhatsApp, email, SMS, and phone calls. HandyHive has built-in messaging that keeps all your client communication in one thread, attached to the right job.

A client messages you about a quote? It is there. You send them an update about arrival time? It is there. They ask a follow-up question three months later? Also there — easy to find, easy to pick up where you left off.

Everything is searchable, everything is organised, and you never have to scroll through your personal WhatsApp to find a client's address again.

AI that works for both sides

This is the part that makes HandyHive different from any other platform.

HandyHive has an AI assistant built into the experience — and it helps from both directions.

For customers, the AI is like having a knowledgeable friend who knows every trade. A homeowner who is not sure what kind of professional they need can describe their problem in plain language: "There is a damp patch on my ceiling and I don't know if it's the roof or a pipe." The AI helps them understand the issue, suggests the right type of professional, and connects them with someone nearby.

The Post a Job feature takes this even further. A customer can describe a job in their own words and the AI turns it into a proper job posting — with the right category, scope, and details — and sends it to qualified handworkers in the area. No browsing required. The right professional gets the job notification; the right customer gets a response.

For handworkers, this means jobs come to you. You don't have to hunt for work — the platform brings opportunities to your dashboard based on your trade and location.

Just imagine you have been doing carpentry and furniture repairs for years, all word of mouth. You want more clients but you have no website, no time for social media, and no idea where to start. With HandyHive, you just sign up, take a few photos of your last three jobs, write two sentences about yourself, and you are live. People searching for a carpenter in your area can already find you. The whole thing takes less time than making breakfast — and from that point on, your profile works for you around the clock, even when you are on a job or asleep.

Picture this: you have built up a solid Facebook page over the years — before-and-after photos, happy clients leaving comments, a handful of recommendations. But work still arrives one referral at a time. With HandyHive, you connect your Facebook page in about 30 seconds. Everything you have already built — the photos, the credibility, the history — instantly becomes part of your professional profile. New clients see all of it before they even send you a message. Your past work finally does its job for you.

Now think about it from the customer side — because this is what brings work to you. A homeowner notices a damp patch spreading across their ceiling. They have no idea if it is a roofing issue, a plumbing leak, or something else. They open HandyHive, describe the situation in plain words, and the AI works out what kind of professional they need, finds the right person nearby, and sends the job request directly to them. You get the notification on your phone, reply within the hour, and win the job — without spending a single minute searching for it yourself.
