Your Trade, Your Terms: Discover the New Hire A Hubby Business Models
For over 30 years, Hire A Hubby has been the gold standard for property maintenance in New Zealand. But as the market evolves, so do we. In 2026, we are proud to showcase our reshaped business models designed to match your specific ambition, investment level, and lifestyle goals.
Whether you’re a tradesperson tired of the "solo struggle" or an entrepreneur ready to dominate a commercial market, we’ve built the blueprint for your success.
Which Hubby are you?
We’ve streamlined our business opportunities into two distinct pathways: Foundation and Enterprise.
The Foundation Model: Secure, Collaborative, Scalable
Investment: $61,000 + GST
Ideal for: Keen DIYers, tradespeople, and couples.
The Foundation model is our most proven framework. It’s designed for those who want a serious business with built-in stability.
- The Partnership Edge: This is the "strategic sweet spot" for couples. One partner can focus on the craftsmanship and tools, while the other manages customer relationships and admin.
- Why it works: You get a professional identity that commands higher rates, an exclusive territory of at least 5,000 homes, and the flexibility to set your own hours.
The Enterprise Model: High-Performance & Systems-Led
Investment: $136,000 + GST
Ideal for: Project managers, entrepreneurs, and established specialists.
If you have grand ambitions to lead a high-capacity operation, the Enterprise model is your vehicle. This isn't just about "doing the work"—it’s about building a high-value asset.
- The Market Leader: Gain unrestricted access to high-value areas and commercial hubs.
- Scale with Confidence: Leverage our national administrative engine to project-manage multiple large-scale contracts simultaneously. This model is about market share and long-term asset value.
