BUSINESS PLAN FOR POWER TEAM ELECTRICS

​

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

Power Team Electrics is a UK-based company that partners with self-employed electricians. We use advanced marketing systems and AI-powered pricing to send jobs to our engineer network while taking a commission. We handle payments, and engineers are paid once the customer is satisfied that the job has been completed to a high standard.

Unlike traditional subcontracting or employment models, our engineers are not managed—they are partners. They maintain their own freedom and responsibility, operating under their own brand with our livery. Our aim is to build the first truly national brand for electricians that empowers tradespeople while delivering consistent, professional service to customers across the country.

We are seeking to raise £100,000 in investment to fund early operations, marketing, and staff costs, allowing the founder to step away from the tools and build the business full-time.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

 

Our mission is to be the first point of call for people who need an electrician. We aim to create a nationally respected brand that not only provides a five-star solution for customers, but also elevates electricians by offering them a better way to work, giving them freedom, autonomy, and profit potential while ensuring customers receive reliable, high-quality service through a trusted network.

 

THE PROBLEM

 

FOR ELECTRICIANS

 

Most electricians in the UK operate as small, independent subcontractors. They face a number of hurdles including

• inconsistent workloads, with many contractors being unreliable and letting them down last minute

• Poor treatment by bosses who often underpay and treat subcontractors as disposable

• Unfair management methods by those in charge - for example being paid by the hour. This means that electricians are penalized for working efficiently and encouraged to waste their time and customers to ensure they get paid how they should

• It can be difficult to get paid. Many agreements are verbal, which means that hard working electricians are left vulnerable to either bad customers or contractors

• Lack of any type of security or benefits - Most often electricians work as CIS subcontractors, meaning they are technically self employed. In practice however many have the same routine and are managed as though they are salaried, but do not receive any of the security or rights that salaried electricians are entitled to. This situation, rather than being the true experience of being self employed, is in practice just a less stable version of working a job

• Many of these people would like to truly take control of their work, but simply don't know how. While many did just that at one stage but packed things in because while they may be a fantastic electrician, they struggled to run a business.

• Online directories, while they provide exposure to a huge market for small businesses, often end up being a race to the bottom - electricians are one of many companies quoting for a single job, and so they have to offer their rock-bottom price while potentially having to price match cowboy tradespeople.

 

FOR CUSTOMERS

​

• It is a well known fact that hiring a tradesperson such as an electrician, can be an arduous task for homeowners:

• There is no national brand which people can turn to in search of an electrician. If people do not know someone already, often the only point of call is online directories, which are known for their inability to seperate cowboys from genuine tradespeople. Many people have been let down by such platforms.

• Most of the time communication is very poor, since these people are busy working on the tools. This leaves homeowners in limbo and makes the experience of hiring an electrician much more stressful than it has to be

 

THE SOLUTION: POWER TEAM ELECTRICS

 

FOR ELECTRICIANS

​

• We handle marketing – targeted campaigns, online ads, and lead generation so electricians always have steady work.

• Electricians can leverage our branding. We put our eye catching livery on their van, turning bland vehicles mobile billboards, which results in more exposure to customers.

• We manage customer service – our call centre books jobs, answers queries, and keeps customers updated, so engineers aren’t bogged down by admin.

• We handle all payments – we take payment from the customer and release funds once the job is confirmed complete and the customer is happy.

• Our terms and conditions protect Power Team Electrics and our partner electricians from bad customers

• We pay by the job, not by the hour – engineers are free to finish efficiently and either move on to earn more, or gain more free time. No one is held captive for their time.

• We price jobs smartly – each job includes labour, a materials budget with markup, and our commission. The electrician receives the remainder.

• We don’t micromanage – as long as the job is done safely, professionally, and the customer is happy, that’s all we require.

• We reward efficiency – electricians who complete jobs faster or source materials cheaper keep the difference.

• We offer real freedom – each electrician manages their own schedule and workload. Power Team Electrics provides the structure and leads; they bring the skill.

 

FOR CUSTOMERS

​

• One trusted place to find electricians – no more searching through unreliable listings or chasing unavailable tradespeople.

• Guaranteed professionalism – every electrician in our network is vetted, qualified, and committed to customer satisfaction.

• Dedicated customer service – our UK-based team ensures homeowners never struggle to get hold of a tradesperson again.

• AI-powered instant quotes – customers can get fast, accurate job estimates online, removing delays and uncertainty.

• Consistent quality and communication – we manage the process from start to finish, keeping homeowners informed every step of the way.

• Peace of mind guaranteed – payment is only released once the customer confirms they’re happy with the work.
