Can I create annual service contracts with automatic renewal?

Yes. Annual contracts bill via Stripe on the contract start date and renew automatically. Clients receive a 30-day renewal notice with the option to cancel or upgrade.

Can I manage commercial landlord contracts with multiple properties?

Yes. A commercial or landlord account can hold contracts across multiple property addresses. Each property has its own contract, service history, and compliance certificate log.

Can I include a defined callout allowance in a commercial maintenance plan?

Yes. Commercial maintenance plans can specify an included number of callouts per contract period. Contract holders book callouts against their included allowance, additional callouts are charged as one-off services.

Can I bill monthly for a commercial maintenance plan?

Yes. Commercial maintenance plans bill monthly via Stripe recurring. The monthly invoice is sent automatically. Quarterly, half-yearly, and annual billing intervals are also supported.

Can I include compliance certificates in a service plan?

Yes. Gas Safety Certificates, EICRs, and PAT test certificates are issued and logged per contract. Clients access their certificates from the portal. Renewal triggers when a certificate is approaching expiry.

Can I offer emergency-only call-out contracts at a flat monthly rate?

Yes. Create a call-out-only plan at a monthly retainer rate. Clients on the plan get priority callout response and a discounted emergency rate. Works well for commercial tenants.

Can existing one-off clients be converted to contract holders?

Yes. Past clients can be invited to upgrade to a service contract after job completion. A post-job HubSpot workflow can deliver the offer automatically.

What is Trades Subscription Software?

Subscription software converts the ad-hoc, job-by-job revenue model into recurring maintenance contract income that continues billing whether or not you have a new job to quote today.

✓ Sell annual or monthly maintenance and service contracts
✓ Stripe automates all recurring billing
✓ Clients receive included service appointments per contract period
✓ Contract holders access scheduling and priority response
✓ Clients manage contracts from a self-service portal

Service contracts create the stable income base that allows a trades business to invest in growth, a second van, new employees, or specialist equipment, with financial confidence.

The problems trades subscription software solves

Manual workarounds that cost trades businesses hours every week.

Revenue entirely dependent on new job generation each week

A trades business with no recurring revenue is only as good as the quote pipeline this week. Service contracts provide an income floor that never drops to zero.

Losing regular maintenance clients to competitors between annual service calls

A client who had a great boiler service last year is still a prospect for every competitor in the area. A service contract renaming them as a contract holder changes that relationship.

Quoting annual boiler services to existing clients every year individually

Manually quoting and chasing every past boiler service client in October takes hours. An auto-renewing annual service contract bills and schedules itself.

Commercial clients needing a structured maintenance agreement with predictable billing

Commercially contracted clients, retail units, letting agencies, offices, need a structured service agreement with an included callout allowance and a predictable monthly Stripe charge.

How Bizzly works

From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.

Customer pays first, then books

A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.

Calendar enforces quota automatically

The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.

The Solution

How Bizzly handles trades subscription software

Purpose-built features for trades businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.

Annual service plan contracts

Create annual plans that include a specific number of service visits (e.g. 1 annual boiler service, 1 gas safety certificate). Stripe bills annually. Service scheduling opens when the contract renews.

Annual service contracts

Monthly commercial maintenance plans

Monthly maintenance contracts for commercial landlords, letting agencies, and property managers. Stripe bills monthly recurring. Includes a defined number of callouts and quarterly inspections within the contract.

Commercial maintenance billing

Priority response for contract holders

Contract clients are flagged as priority in your booking system. Emergency callouts from contract holders are moved to the front of the queue and scheduled ahead of non-contract work.

Priority contract scheduling

Auto-renewal with renewal reminder

Contracts auto-renew via Stripe 30 days before expiry. Clients receive a renewal summary with the option to upgrade, renew, or cancel. Renewal rate is typically 80%+ with this approach.
