For Tradespeople

Join the Elite. Get Paid, Guaranteed.

You’re a true professional. Stop competing with unqualified cowboys and stop chasing payments. TradeTrust is an exclusive marketplace for the best in the business, where your quality is rewarded and your payment is guaranteed.

An Industry Plagued by Risk

The South African construction industry suffers from a rampant culture of delayed or outright non-payment, which forces experienced and honest firms into bankruptcy.

This creates a vacuum that is inevitably filled by less-resourced and less-scrupulous operators, making it impossible to compete on quality alone.

How We Guarantee Your Success

  • Eliminate Non-Payment: The risk of non-payment is completely eliminated. Our mandatory Secure Escrow System, powered by our financial technology partner TradeSafe, ensures funds are secured from the client before you begin work.
  • Join an Exclusive Community: We are a platform of exclusion, not a directory. We project that as few as 10% of initial applicants will successfully pass our Vetting Engine, creating an elite community where your “TradeTrust Verified” status is a mark of distinction.
  • Work with Premium Clients: Our platform is designed for a specific, high-value psychographic segment of risk-averse homeowners who prioritise a reliable, high-quality outcome over the lowest possible price.
  • πŸš€ Zero-Commission Launch Offer: The first 50 fully vetted pros will be offered a zero-commission rate for their first three months on the platform to accelerate initial adoption.
