What an office actually costs
Most traders are not choosing between apps. They are choosing between hiring someone, paying every month and still doing the admin themselves, or having it done for them. Figures checked 25 July 2026.
- Office admin, half-time£1,135 a month
An office manager starts at £25,000 a year. Half-time that is £12,500, plus £1,125 employer National Insurance. Before pension, holiday cover, equipment or the cost of hiring.
- Office admin, full-time£2,333 a month
£25,000 salary plus £3,000 employer National Insurance. You pay it every month, busy or quiet.
- Phone answering service£15 to £55 a month, plus every call
Then £0.99 to £2.50 a call. They answer and take a message. They don't quote the job, chase the quote, send the invoice or collect the money.
- Job management softwareA monthly fee, usually per person
You pay it whether the work comes in or not, and it goes up when you take someone on. You are still the one doing the admin at 9pm.
- Tradehand£0 a month, then 5%
No monthly fee. No card fees. Your office team earns 5% of the invoice payments it chases and collects for you, taken when the money lands, so you keep 95% of everything it collects.
Straight answer: collect £10,000 in a month and our 5% is £500, more than a monthly fee would have been. Collect nothing and you pay nothing. It only saves you money when it is winning and collecting work for you, which is the point.

Pricing questions
Is there a trade app with no monthly fee?
Tradehand has no monthly fee and no card fees. Your office team earns 5% of the invoice payments it chases and collects for you, and nothing otherwise, so you keep 95% of everything it collects. Most UK trade software charges a monthly fee per person instead, so you pay in a quiet month and pay more again when you take someone on. Being straight about it: in a big month our 5% costs more than a monthly fee would have; in a quiet month it costs nothing. We only earn once you have been paid.
Should I hire an office administrator or use software?
Hiring is the expensive option. A half-time office administrator costs about £1,135 a month, and a full-time one about £2,333, once employer National Insurance is added to a £25,000 starter salary. You pay it whether the work comes in or not. A phone answering service is cheaper, but it only takes messages. Software is cheaper again, but you are the one using it at 9pm. Tradehand is the third option: nothing every month, and the office work is done for you for 5% of the invoice payments it collects. Figures checked 25 July 2026.
What does the 5% cover?
A whole office team: it answers your enquiries, sends and chases your quotes, books the work, keeps customers updated, coordinates your traders, and looks after job pages, invoices, receipts, reports, and certificates. Card processing is covered inside it too, so you keep exactly 95% of what it collects for you. The goal is simple: the work gets booked, done, and paid.
When do I pay?
Tradehand earns 5% of the invoice payments it chases and collects for you, taken from the payment when it lands. It doesn't collect, it doesn't earn.
When do I get paid out?
Payments land in your own bank account through Stripe, with automatic payouts as often as daily. Your money is never held by us, so you keep control of your cash flow.
Are there any other fees?
No monthly fee, no setup fee, no card fees, no listing fee and no minimum. Card processing is covered inside the 5%. The one exception is Klarna, which carries its own charge on top, and you see that before you switch it on.
What happens if I refund a customer?
You can refund a customer whenever you need to. Tradehand gives back its 5% in full, and the card processing cost of that refund stays with your business, the same as it would with any card payment.
Do I need a contract?
No long-term contract. If Tradehand is not helping the business, you should not be locked in.
