Built for the contractor who wants to run a real business

Contractor Tech Academy helps contractors start, manage, and grow successful businesses through practical guides, software comparisons, marketing strategies, and operational advice.

Most contractors are excellent at their trade and were never taught the business side — licensing, pricing, marketing, cash flow, hiring, and the software that ties it all together. That gap is why so many skilled tradespeople stay stuck trading hours for dollars.

We close that gap with content across five tracks:

• Start a Business — Licensing, insurance, pricing, business structure, and landing your first customers.
• Marketing & Sales — Local SEO, Google Business Profile, reviews, advertising, lead follow-up, and estimating.
• Operations — Scheduling, job management, crews, invoicing, payments, and profitability.
• Software & Technology — Software comparisons, honest reviews, implementation guides, and AI tools for the field.
• Growth — Hiring, moving from handyman to contractor, expanding services, and building repeatable processes.

How we work

• Practical over theoretical. Every article ends with something you can do this week.
• Honest software reviews. When we compare tools, we tell you who each one is actually right for.
• Free first. The core content — articles and the YouTube channel — is free.
