Why contractors need a business readiness score
Skilled trade professionals know their craft — but running a contracting business requires a different set of capabilities. Licensing, insurance, entity formation, pricing, and customer acquisition are just as important as technical expertise.
Metrix Score identifies the gap between trade skill and business readiness. It surfaces what needs attention first, so you don't waste time on low-priority tasks while critical requirements remain unmet.
The assessment covers ten contractor trades across six states, with state-aware guidance for licensing and compliance. Your score is an initial estimate that becomes more precise as your profile develops.
