Sam Cottell from SA Trade Licensing

 

Aquamate Testimonial

Sam from SA Trade Licensing worked for seven years as a construction licensing manager for Consumer and Business Services.

He left licensing to start his own business to assist builders in technical interview preparation and electricians in licensing paperwork.

He has been running SA Trade Licensing for over ten years and prides himself on realistic advice for the construction industry.

Sam has experience in company formation, construction compliance and technical interview preparation.

He is also a licensed residential supervisor and general builder.

Sam is not aligned with any industry body so you can be confident you’ll receive a non-biased approach with no membership fees and no up-sell. His role is to provide you what the minimum requirements are as determined by CBS, then how to achieve them.

Marsh Testimonial

“After numerous calls to relevant industry bodies and countless Google searches trying to understand the SA Trade Licensing requirements to enable me to offer handyman services as part of my business mix, I almost gave up as it seemed to be a minefield of issues and problems. Fortunately, I came across Sam’s business during one of my searches, sent him a quick e-mail explaining my predicament, we met, and the rest is history. Sam’s understanding of the process and ability to guide you through painlessly was invaluable.”
