New trade business

You've registered the ABN. Now let's get your trade business actually online.

Going out on your own as a tradie is mostly the easy bit. You've got the tickets, the tools, the ute and your first few jobs lined up through word of mouth. The part nearly everyone underestimates is the online setup that needs to happen in the first month — and the part that nearly everyone gets wrong by trying to do it themselves at 11pm on a Sunday.

MP Launch is designed for that exact window. You've started, you're trading, and you need the online foundation handled properly before the next round of quotes goes out. We do it as a single fixed-price launch, delivered in 48 hours, with everything in your business name.

What goes wrong when a new tradie tries to DIY this

  • The domain gets registered with the personal Gmail address, not the new business email — so renewals go to the wrong inbox a year later.
  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace gets set up under a personal Apple ID, not the business, making it impossible to add an apprentice cleanly.
  • DNS records are half-configured, so emails to gmail.com customers land in spam and quotes get missed.
  • The website builder trial ends, the site disappears, and the customer who searched the business name finds a parked page.
  • Google Business Profile gets started but never verified because the postcard didn't arrive and no one followed up.
  • By month three, the new tradie has paid four different platforms and still doesn't have a working professional email.

What your tradie business launch includes

The launch is everything a brand-new trade business needs to look established from day one. Same Essentials Launch ($1,997) or Plus Launch ($2,997, our recommended build) packages as everyone else — we just point them at the realities of starting up.

Business-name domain registered under your ABN

We register your .com.au in your legal business name, not ours. Renewal reminders go to you, and ownership is provable at the auDA registry.

Microsoft 365 set up under your business

Your own Microsoft tenant linked to your ABN. When you bring on a second team member next year, we just add them as a real user — same domain, same setup, no migration headache.

Mobile-first website with your services & service area

Built for the way customers actually find tradies — fast on a phone, clear on what you do, where you work, and how to get a quote. Trust strip with your licence and insurance details up top.

Lead form that emails you a job enquiry

A simple quote request form. The enquiry, the suburb and the customer's contact details land in your business inbox — not a third-party CRM dashboard you'll never log into.

Google Business Profile setup guide

Step-by-step instructions in the handover pack so you can finish your GBP yourself (Google requires the owner to do it directly). Includes the categories and service areas that work for new trade businesses.

First 2 months of Care included

Hosting, domain renewals, security patching, technical support and small content updates — your first 2 months of Care, included while you find your feet. From month 3, Care continues on the matched tier: Keep-It-Live ($99/month) with Essentials, Care ($199/month) with Plus, and Care Concierge ($329/month) with Signature. Cancel anytime.

Why this is the right call for a brand-new tradie

The first year of a trade business is when every hour you don't spend on the tools costs you real money. The DIY route looks cheap until you add up the nights spent on YouTube tutorials, the $30/month subscriptions you forgot to cancel, and the customers who got lost between a Facebook page and a half-built website. Those customers are looking — 85% of people search online before hiring a local tradie, according to Duda— and the businesses they find first are the ones set up properly. There's a margin upside too: tradies with websites can charge around 30% more, per MyTradieSite.

A fixed-price launch lets you draw a line under the setup. It happens once, properly, in 48 hours. Then you go back to quoting and finishing jobs while Care keeps the technical side running quietly in the background.

We also keep the launch deliberately narrow. No vanity features, no email marketing automation you'll never use, no "phase 2" that quietly adds another $3,000. You get a working online business, the logins to prove you own it, and a clear path to add more later if you actually need it.

Reviews

What clients say about their launch.

Real 5-star Google reviews from Australian businesses we've put online.

MP Launch absolutely nailed my website. I had a vision for my hairdressing business, but they somehow made it look even better than what I had in my head. The whole process was so easy, quick and stress-free, no confusing back and forth, no drama, just straight to the point and done properly. My website looks clean, professional, on-brand and honestly just so me.

Peter has been fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Communication has been prompt, clear, and professional throughout the entire process. Any questions or changes were handled quickly, and he made everything easy to understand… we couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend MP Launch to any business looking for a professional website and digital setup.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. As someone with zero tech experience, Peter made things effortless. He took total control, kept me in the loop, and put things simply in a way that was easy to understand. I knew I was in good hands right from the start. Fantastic service and result — highly recommend Peter and the team.

Frequently asked questions

With MP Launch, getting your new trade business properly online starts at $1,997 for the Essentials Launch — a 3-page website, your .com.au domain registered under your ABN, professional business email, lead form and your first 2 months of Care included, live in 48 hours. The Plus Launch at $2,997 (our recommended build) adds a 6-page site, done-for-you Google Business Profile setup, instant lead-alert SMS and your first 2 months of Care. The Signature Launch is $5,997 for a 10-page showcase build delivered within 5 business days. From month 3, Care continues on the matched tier — Keep-It-Live ($99/month), Care ($199/month) or Care Concierge ($329/month). All prices are fixed — no hourly billing.

Honestly, it's the best time. Doing the launch in your first month means every quote, every business card, every Facebook post points at a professional setup from the start. You'll never have to migrate a Gmail address off your van signage later.

Not strictly. If you have one, send it during onboarding. If you don't, we'll launch with a clean type-based brand mark that still looks professional, and you can swap in a proper logo later via your Care Plan. We don't hold up the 48-hour build waiting on a designer.

Get the ABN registered first — you'll need it for the .com.au domain anyway. Once your business name is locked in, we're ready to go. Most new tradies pick the name in a weekend and launch the following week.

Indirectly, yes. A professional website, business email and lead form make you look established to anyone who searches your business name after meeting you at a quote. We don't run ads or guarantee leads, but the foundation removes the "is this guy legit?" question.

Every launch includes your first 2 months of Care, included. From month 3, your plan continues on the matched tier — Keep-It-Live at $99/month if you launched on Essentials, Care at $199/month on Plus, or Care Concierge at $329/month on Signature. We remind you around day 50 before the first charge. Or cancel anytime and take everything with you. No lock-in.

If you've just gone out on your own and the online setup is the thing still on the to-do list, this is the fastest way to clear it. Two days from go-ahead, you're live with everything in your name.

Ready when you are.

Fixed price from $1,997. 48-hour delivery once everything's confirmed (Signature builds: 5 business days). You own everything.
