Step 01
Declare what you actually do
Regions covered, service categories, engine and vessel types, maximum length, and whether you work mobile, from a yard, or both. These declarations are what matching runs against.
For service businesses
Fewer phone calls that go nowhere. Enquiries with the details already in them.
BoatFixIt is a concept for turning vague 'can you look at my boat' calls into written briefs that are already matched against what your business declares it can do.
Step 02
Receive structured enquiries
Every brief arrives with vessel type and length, engine type, general location, category, mobile preference, timeframe and the owner's own description of the problem.
Step 03
Accept or decline, in writing
You read the brief before committing to anything. Declining costs nothing and does not affect future matching.
Step 04
Pay only on acceptance
The proposed model is C$49 per accepted qualified enquiry. Nothing is charged for enquiries you decline, duplicates, or briefs that fail the agreed qualification criteria.
Proposed commercials
C$49 per accepted qualified enquiry
No subscription, no listing fee, no commission on the job value. You are charged once, when you accept a brief that meets the qualification criteria agreed with you in advance.
- Declined enquiries cost nothing.
- Duplicate or unreachable enquiries are not chargeable.
- Monthly volume caps so a busy week cannot bury you.
- Qualification criteria, refunds and cancellation windows are written into the pilot agreement.
- Pilot terms are to be agreed with each partner — nothing here is a live offer or contract.

What a pilot partner would need to provide
Business name and contact, the regions you genuinely cover, your service categories, engine and vessel experience, maximum vessel length, working style, and confirmation of the insurance and certifications you hold. Accurate declarations are the entire basis of matching.
What BoatFixIt would never do
No live dispatch to your technicians, no taking payment from boat owners on your behalf, no accounts or customer logins, no paid map or tracking services, and no representing that a job is booked when it is only an enquiry.
