Business Advisory for the Trades
Stop Working for Someone Else's Dream.
Your skills built it. Now build the business.
You already do the hard part. I help you set up everything else: the structure, the protection, the website, the tools. Then you can run your own shop with confidence.
Free. 30 minutes. No pitch, no pressure.
Working with tradespeople across the US, 100% remote.
Who This Is For
Built for people who work with their hands.
You have the skills, the reputation, and the work ethic most people only talk about. What you haven't had is someone who understands the trades and knows how to build a real business around what you already do well.
Fresh Start Consulting is for installers, tradespeople, and independent operators who are ready to own their income, protect their time, and build something that outlasts any job site.
The Independent Builder
You want out from under someone else's schedule and someone else's rules. You're ready to take control.
The Growth-Minded Operator
You've already proven what you can do. You're not afraid of hard work. You want straight talk and a clear plan, not guesswork.
The Legacy Builder
This isn't just about income. You want a business that stands on its own, built for the trades and built to last.

Meet Evan
I started in the field, not in an office.
I started as a 12-volt and telematics technician. I taught myself business while doing the work, then built my own company from the ground up. Now I help tradespeople do the same without the trial and error.
So far I've helped 15 tradespeople go independent. Straight talk. No BS. The real steps, in the right order.
