Business Idea
**BuildFlow Marketplace** - A streamlined marketplace connecting homeowners directly with pre-verified specialty contractors for specific home improvement micro-projects. Unlike general platforms, BuildFlow focuses on standardized, fixed-price services like 'bathroom vanity installation' or 'kitchen backsplash tiling' with transparent pricing, instant booking, and milestone-based payments held in escrow. Contractors pay a 15% platform fee, while homeowners can purchase project insurance and extended warranties. The platform uses AI to match project requirements with contractor specialties, availability, and performance history. Starting with high-margin, repeatable services allows for rapid geographic expansion while building a reputation system that becomes increasingly valuable. Revenue streams include transaction fees, promoted listings for contractors ($99-499/month), and partnership commissions from material suppliers.
