Most tradespeople who want to start their own business don't fail because they lack talent. They fail because nobody ever taught them how business actually works, and by the time the overwhelm hits, they've already talked themselves out of it.
You know the feeling. You're good at what you do. Probably better than most. But between the LLC questions, the taxes, the insurance, the contracts, the website, the banking, and figuring out how to actually get customers, it starts to feel like you need a degree just to get started.
You don't. You need someone who has already been where you are.
Evan started in the field as a 12-volt and telematics technician. He learned the trade, then taught himself business while doing the work. He went all in, built his first company from the ground up, and made it successful enough to be absorbed into a larger operation where he spent years building partnerships, managing projects, training technicians, and learning what it actually takes to scale.
He's now a Director of Strategic Planning and Business Development, enrolled in business school, licensed to sell life insurance in Colorado, and trained in AI implementation for small businesses.
He didn't learn any of this in a classroom first. He learned it by doing it, making the mistakes, surviving them, and building systems that work.
Fresh Start Consulting exists because Evan got tired of watching skilled tradespeople stay stuck when they didn't have to be.
We don't hand you a checklist and send you a bill. We sit with you, figure out where your business is and where it needs to go, and build the infrastructure around you. Formation, banking, insurance, legal setup, digital presence, AI automation, and the education to understand what you own.
Most consultants create dependency. We build capability.
Every FSC client gets access to courses built specifically for tradespeople so you're not just handed a business, you understand how to run it. And because we use AI and automation to do the heavy lifting, we can do it faster and more affordably than any traditional consultant you'll find.
If you're a plumber, electrician, contractor, mechanic, HVAC tech, 12-volt installer, or any skilled tradesperson who is ready to stop working for someone else's dream and start building your own, you're in the right place.
If you already have a business but it feels like it's running you instead of the other way around, you're also in the right place.
If you're looking for someone to do it all for you while you stay stuck, this isn't that.
In 30 minutes, we'll look at where your business stands and where you want it to go. Whether you need help with formation, banking, insurance, legal setup, digital presence, AI tools, or all of it, we'll identify the gaps and map out a clear next step. No pitch. No pressure. Just a straight conversation with someone who has been there.
