HOW FIND LOCAL HELP WORKS
From a to-do to a local quote.
Compare local quotes
After review, matching approved providers can quote. Up to three provider quotes can be submitted for an open request.
Choose your provider
Review the quote, scope, availability and provider information, then select the provider you want to book.
CLEARER EXPECTATIONS
Trust starts with knowing how the marketplace works.
Find Local Help reviews provider applications and tracks booking activity, but providers remain independent and customers choose who they hire.
Provider profiles reviewed
Providers are reviewed for marketplace fit and profile completeness before quoting is enabled. Approval is not a background, licence or insurance verification.
Contact details limited
Exact service addresses and customer contact details are restricted before a provider is selected, then shared as needed for the booking.
Payments tracked
Customers pay using the booking instructions. Reported payments are manually verified before providers are expected to begin work.
BRING YOUR SKILLS. BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.
Want local jobs
that fit what you do?
Individuals and businesses can apply as providers. Choose your services and coverage, review matching jobs, set your own quote and decide which work you want to take.
Find Local Help retains 20% of the pre-tax accepted quote on completed jobs. For Nova Scotia jobs, 14% HST is added only for providers whose approved profile says they are GST/HST registered. Registered providers receive 80% of the pre-tax quote plus the HST collected on the booking.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you get started.
Does it cost anything to request quotes?
No. Posting a request and reviewing provider quotes is free for customers. The accepted provider quote becomes the booking total.
How does provider matching work?
Matching considers the service category, service area, travel radius, availability, vehicles and equipment listed by approved providers. Providers still decide whether a particular job is a fit and whether to quote.
How are providers reviewed?
Provider applications are reviewed for marketplace fit and completeness before quoting is enabled. Approval does not mean Find Local Help independently verified every qualification, licence, insurance policy or background detail. Read our Trust & Safety page for more.
When are my contact details shared?
Administrators can review the request. Providers can see the town and relevant job details before quoting. Your contact email, optional phone number and exact service or delivery addresses are shared with the provider you select when needed to arrange the booking.
How do payments work?
After selecting a provider, use the PayPal payment instructions shown in the booking. Report the payment in your workspace and wait for Find Local Help to verify it before work begins. Read Payments & Fees for the full process.
Who performs the work?
Independent providers perform the work. Find Local Help operates the marketplace and does not itself perform the listed local services unless explicitly stated otherwise.
