Businesses & sole traders
Receive matching customer enquiries.
Tell us your services and working areas. Choose which matching requests to answer, and agree the work directly with customers.
No payment details needed on the free-year option. No commission. No charge per enquiry.
For the first 1,000 eligible completed business registrations, subject to availability when your profile is completed. Then £12/year if you choose to continue. No guaranteed enquiries or work.How joining works
- Verify your email. Start with your name and email address, then enter the code we send. Review the business terms and privacy notice in the signup journey.
- Describe your business. Add your business or sole-trader details, address, services, coverage and availability. Describe all the work you offer in ordinary language—not just one trade.
- Choose the free-year option if available. Complete the required declarations and save your profile. You do not need to add payment details to use the eligible free offer.
- Reply when you can help. Once your profile is active and eligible to receive enquiries, we notify you about matching requests. You decide whether to respond and agree arrangements directly.
Completed profiles can activate after registration, address and service-rule checks pass. Unresolved address, safety or duplicate concerns are held for review. These checks do not independently verify identity, licences, insurance or workmanship.
Not just building trades
Plumbing, carpentry, roofing, garages, cleaning, gardening, ordinary adult hair and beauty services, pet services, deliveries, design and business support can all involve customers looking for help. List the services you actually provide and the places you work. The same matching process applies across permitted categories.
Some high-risk services and services delivered directly to under-18s are excluded. Check the acceptable-use policy before registering.

You stay in control of the work
A notification is an invitation to consider a request, not a confirmed job. You can explain what you offer, your availability and any questions you need answered. Where you set a reply deadline, the customer can see it; it does not reserve a time slot on its own.
You and the customer agree the scope, total price, timing and terms directly. Ask Who Can provides matching and communication; independent businesses provide the services.
We are growing the network. Demand and coverage vary, and joining does not guarantee a number of enquiries, bookings or earnings.
Before you sign up
Can I join as a sole trader?
Yes. Choose the option that accurately describes your business and provide the requested legal name and address details. You do not need to be a limited company. The same service rules and required checks apply.
Will I be charged automatically after the free year?
Not on the free-year option without payment details and renewal consent. Basic costs £12 per year if you choose to continue. Without an arranged renewal, membership pauses at the end of the free period. Any optional paid subscription has its own displayed price and renewal terms.
Do I pay for each enquiry or give up a share of the job?
There is no charge per enquiry and no commission on the work. Membership and any separately chosen optional services are governed by the prices and terms shown before you commit.
Can I offer several services or work outside my home town?
Yes. Describe the services you actually offer and set your coverage and availability accurately. A business can cover more than its immediate area, but the request still needs to match its services and coverage.
What should I have ready?
Access to your email inbox, your business or sole-trader name, an accurate address and postcode, and a description of your services, working areas and availability. You will review the applicable terms and declarations during setup.
