For those tradespeople, running a small business can be seriously time consuming. I try to support lone tradies or very small business people, but it's almost always easier finding slightly larger ones that have enough staff that there is someone handling quotes and delegating tradespeople.
I'd suggest building a backoffice for tradies that automates as much as possible. Payments, chasing payments, reminding them of people waiting for quotes, etc. A CRM app that all their incoming enquiries go directly to, etc. Otherwise they have quote requests coming into their phone messages or emails and getting lost along with everything else. I run a small business and have 200-500+ unread emails at almost any time. If something slips off the first screen of G-Suite, it is much harder to remember it.
