BIG NEWS: Licensed.nz is Now FREE for All Qualified Tradies!
We’ve got some massive news to share, and it’s a game-changer for every single tradesperson in New Zealand.
We’re thrilled to announce a complete revamp of Licensed.nz. Our mission has always been simple: to help the New Zealand public find high-quality, trusted, and professional tradies. To make that even easier, we’ve reviewed our platform and are making a huge change to our model.
Effective immediately, Licensed.nz is 100% FREE for all tradespeople to register and use as long as they meet our membership criteria.
That’s right. No monthly subscriptions, no annual fees.
Our Promise: Genuinely Free, No Catches
We’re not like the other guys. We’re tired of seeing hardworking tradies get stung by complicated and expensive platforms.
When we say free, we mean it. With your free Licensed.nz profile, you get:
• NO Lead Fees: We will never charge you for a lead.
• NO Success Fees: We don’t take a commission or a percentage of your job. Ever.
• NO Credit or Token System: You don’t need to “buy credits” to talk to a customer.
Our goal isn’t to squeeze money out of your hard work. Our goal is to become the number one place Kiwis go to find a tradie they can trust. By making it free for all verified professionals to join, we can build the most comprehensive directory of quality tradies in the country.
