This checklist is for you if...

• You’re stuck in a 9–5 and want a practical path to working for yourself
• Friends and family already ask you to fix things, but you’re not running a real business yet
• You’ve done a few handyman jobs for cash, but don’t have a name, pricing, or process
• You feel overwhelmed by all the business advice online and just want a simple, proven starting plan
• You want guidance from someone actually growing a handyman company, not just talking about it

Why Learn The Business Side From Me?

I launched my handyman business, Dakota Small Jobs, four years ago with a basic set of tools, working out of my garage and my Honda CRV.

Since then, I’ve grown it into a real company that’s on its way to 7 figures in revenue, learning what actually works in the field: how to price jobs, keep your schedule full, and turn one‑off repairs into repeat customers and referrals.

I created the Handyman Business Starters Checklist to give you the clear, step‑by‑step business roadmap I wish I had at the beginning, so you can skip the guesswork and move much faster.

I’ve completed hundreds of paid jobs and refined this process by trial, error, and what’s worked to keep Dakota Small Jobs growing year after year.

Questions You Might Have...

Q: Is this really free?
A: Yes. The checklist is completely free. I’ll also send a short series of emails to help you launch and grow your handyman business. In those emails, I’ll share more about my Handyman Starters course and community if you want deeper training and support.

Q: I’m still in a full‑time job. Is this for me?
A: Absolutely. The checklist is designed so you can start laying the foundation for your handyman business in the evenings and weekends, then scale up when you’re ready to step away from your 9–5.

Q: I already do handyman work on the side. Will this be too basic?
A: The checklist focuses on the business side: pricing, marketing, systems, and setup. If you’re already doing side jobs, this will help you turn that into a consistent, professional business instead of “random extra cash.”

Q: Do I need a lot of money to get started?
A: No. I built this around lean, practical steps that focus on getting paying jobs first. You’ll see what’s essential now and what can wait until you’ve got steady cash flow.
