Start Provider Application SIMPLE PLATFORM FEE
You quote the customer. We retain 20% of the pre-tax quote on completed jobs.
You receive 80% of the pre-tax amount. If your approved provider profile says you are GST/HST registered, 14% Nova Scotia HST is added to Nova Scotia jobs and that collected HST is included in your provider amount.
You enter your price before tax. Providers who are not GST/HST registered do not have HST added to their quotes. Registered providers must enter their GST/HST account number in their provider profile.
Example accepted quote
Job price before tax$250
HST (14%)+ $35
Customer total$285
Find Local Help 20% of pre-tax− $50
Provider amount incl. HST$235
Example assumes an HST-registered provider on a Nova Scotia job. If the provider is not GST/HST registered, the customer total would be $250 and the provider amount after the 20% platform fee would be $200. Providers remain responsible for their own registration, reporting and remittance obligations.STARTING LOCAL. BUILT TO GROW.
Nova Scotia first, with room to expand across Canada.
We are initially building provider coverage in Halifax Regional Municipality and the South Shore, including communities around Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Bridgewater, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester.
Providers elsewhere in Nova Scotia and Canada can still apply. Matching opportunities will depend on customer demand and active coverage in your area.
You define your coverage
Choose your home town or city, a normal travel radius from 5 to 500 km, and any extra communities you regularly serve.

A provider application is reviewed before quoting is enabled.
We review the information submitted in your provider profile for marketplace fit and completeness. Approval does not mean Find Local Help has independently verified every claim, qualification, licence, insurance policy or background detail. Providers remain responsible for being appropriately qualified and insured for the services they offer.

PROVIDER FAQ
Before you apply.
Who can become a provider?
Individuals and businesses can apply. Your profile should accurately describe the services you offer, where you work, your availability and the vehicles, tools or equipment you can provide.
Do I need a truck or trailer?
No. Some jobs require hauling capacity, while others may only need labour, hand tools or specialized equipment. Only select services and job opportunities you can complete safely and properly.
How much does Find Local Help charge providers?
Find Local Help retains 20% of the pre-tax accepted quote on completed jobs. For Nova Scotia jobs, 14% HST is added only when the provider's approved profile says they are GST/HST registered. A registered provider receives 80% of the pre-tax amount plus the HST collected on the booking. Payment processing is covered from the platform share.
How do I get jobs?
After your application is approved, matching open jobs can appear in your workspace based on service category, service area and other profile information. You choose whether to submit a quote. Customer demand and job volume are not guaranteed.
Can I choose my own price?
Yes. You set your own pre-tax quote and availability. Your price should account for labour, travel, equipment, disposal and other job costs. For Nova Scotia jobs, Find Local Help adds 14% HST only if your approved provider profile is marked GST/HST registered.
What happens after a customer selects me?
The booking shares the contact and location information needed to arrange the job. The customer pays Find Local Help using the payment instructions in the booking. Payment is verified before work begins, and the provider payout is handled after completion is confirmed.
Does provider approval guarantee work?
No. Approval allows you to participate as a provider, but job availability depends on customer demand, your location, the services you offer and whether customers select your quotes.
Do I need insurance?
Your application asks whether you carry insurance appropriate for the services you offer. Providers are responsible for making sure they have any insurance, licences, permits or qualifications required for their work.
What if I am not registered for GST/HST?
Select “No” in your provider profile. HST will not be added to your Nova Scotia quotes. If you later register, update your profile and add your GST/HST account number; the updated profile must be reviewed before the new tax setting is used for quotes.
