OUR SERVICES

Everything You Need To Run A Stronger Trade Business

Our services are designed to work together — but each can be used on its own depending on where your business needs support.

BUYING GROUP

Cut Your Supply Costs Without Changing How You Work

Access buying power across trusted industry partners and protect your margins — without switching suppliers, locking into contracts, or adding complexity.

The Halo Buying Group gives trade businesses access to collective buying power usually reserved for larger operators. By partnering with trusted suppliers, we help you reduce everyday material and service costs while keeping full control over how and where you buy. No lock-ins, no minimum spend — just smarter purchasing that improves margins over time.

BUSINESS ADVISORY

Make Confident Decisions As Your Business Grows

Get practical guidance from people who understand the realities of running a trade business — not generic business theory.

As your business grows, decisions around pricing, hiring, structure, and leadership become more complex. Halo’s Business & Leadership Advisory gives you experienced support to think clearly, plan confidently, and move forward with intention. We work alongside you to strengthen the foundations of your business, improve how it’s run, and help you build a team and structure that doesn’t rely entirely on you.

SYSTEMS & PROCESSES

Build Systems That Support Your Business — Not Slow It Down

From job management to accounting and admin, we help you put systems in place that actually work in real trade businesses.

As trade businesses grow, poor systems create bottlenecks, mistakes, and unnecessary pressure on the owner. Halo’s Systems & Process Support focuses on simplifying how your business runs day to day. We help you set up and optimise tools like Xero and Fergus, clean up workflows, and introduce support such as virtual assistants where it makes sense — so your business runs smoother, with less manual effort and fewer headaches.

MARKETING

Attract The Right Work — Not Just More Leads

Marketing designed specifically for trade businesses that care about quality jobs, strong margins, and long-term growth.

Halo’s marketing support focuses on clarity, positioning, and consistency — not flashy campaigns that create noise. We help trade businesses build websites and social content that communicate trust, explain services clearly, and attract the type of work you actually want. The result is better enquiries, fewer time-wasters, and marketing that supports your business instead of distracting from it.
