The founding member deal explained
Tradesperson
We're rewarding the first tradespeople who back the platform. The first 100 to join become founding members and bid completely free for 6 months. Here's exactly what's included and why it's worth claiming early.
What founding members get
The first 100 tradespeople to join get 6 months of completely free, risk-free bidding — every bid in that window costs you nothing. It's a genuine head start while the platform builds momentum in Nottingham and Derby.
There's no monthly fee on Rank My Builder for anyone, founding member or not — the deal is on top of that, removing the per-bid cost entirely for your first six months.
Why join early
Joining early means you can build up verified reviews from completed jobs before most of your competitors are even on the platform — and those reviews are what win future work.
Founding spots are limited to the first 100 trades. Once they're gone, they're gone, so it's worth claiming your spot and getting verified sooner rather than later.
After the founding window
When your 6 free months end, you simply move to the normal terms everyone gets: still no monthly fee, 1 token per bid, and 5 free bid tokens every month, with top-ups if you want more.
So even after the founding period, your baseline cost stays low and tied to the bids you actually choose to make.
FAQs
How do I become a founding member?
Be one of the first 100 tradespeople to join Rank My Builder. Sign up, get verified, and your founding status and 6 free months are applied.
What happens after the 6 free months?
You move to the standard terms: no monthly fee, 1 bid token per quote, and 5 free tokens every month, with optional top-ups. Nothing is charged automatically without bids you choose to make.
Is the founding deal really risk-free?
Yes — for the first 100 trades, the 6-month window is completely free, so there's no per-bid cost during it. There's no monthly subscription either, so there's nothing to lose by claiming a spot.
