Good to know before you buy
I’m not in the trades. Will these work for me?
The tools marked “Any service business” (pricing calculator, profit and cash flow, job costing, labor hours, schedule board and the Bus-Proof workbook) are built around hours, jobs, costs and cash, not one trade. You rename the job types and fill in your own numbers. The price books and the Plumbing & HVAC Toolkit are trade-specific and are labelled that way.
How do I get my files?
Checkout is on our Stan store. Your download is ready right after you pay, and a copy is emailed to you.
What do I need to open them?
The spreadsheets work in Microsoft Excel (2010 or newer) and Google Sheets. No macros, no add-ons, no subscription. Bus-Proof also includes a fillable PDF.
Are the prices in the price books real quotes?
No. Every hour, part cost and price in the files is an example starting point. You put in your own costs, supplier prices and times, and the prices update from your numbers.
Can I edit them?
Yes. The light copper cells are yours to fill in. Formulas are locked (no password) so they don’t get typed over by accident.
Refunds?
These are instant digital downloads, so all sales are final. If a file won’t open, message us and we’ll send a working copy.
Is this legal, tax or insurance advice?
No. These are organizing and planning tools. Check licensing, permits, tax and coverage questions with your own attorney, CPA and insurance agent.
