Build a Trade Business Worth Owning
Team Trades is Australia's premier electrical and plumbing franchise — giving skilled tradespeople a proven system, national brand, and a business they can sell.
A Franchise Built by Tradespeople, for Tradespeople
Team Trades takes the hard work out of running a trade business. We provide the brand, systems, tools and support — you bring the skills and work ethic. Together, we build something that runs without you and is worth real money when you're ready to sell.
Our directors come from the top tier of Australiafranchising — GJ Gardner Homes, Smith & Sons, and Total Fitouts — bringing decades of proven franchise expertise directly to your business.

Recognised Brand
Operate under a strong national brand that wins jobs before you even knock on the door.
Supplier Buying Power
Access materials at preferred supplier trade pricing — rates negotiated across the network.
43 SOPs from Day One
Every operational process is documented. Quote, schedule, invoice, hire, comply — all covered.
National Contracts at Scale
As the network grows, we pursue national maintenance contracts feeding work to every territory.

Build a Business Worth Selling
Most tradespeople work until they can't. A Team Trades franchise owner builds something different — a documented, systemised business that has real market value when the time comes to exit.
