Fair, legal and private
Built to follow Alberta and Canadian rules.
One level only
Rewards only for people you refer yourself — never from their referrals. That keeps it clear of pyramid-selling rules.
Consent first
Your friend chooses to use your code and ticks the privacy consent. We record it, with the date.
Only a first name shared
You see your friend’s first name and whether the referral is complete — nothing else.
Paid from real fees
HQ rewards come only from fees already received. Discounts come from pros, off their normal price.
Who gets what
| Who refers whom | Your friend gets | You get | Paid by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homeowner → neighbour | 10% off their first job with your handyman | 10% off your next visit with the same handyman | The handyman, off his own price |
| Handyman → his own customers | 10% off their next job with him | 1 month of HQ free | Discount: the handyman · Free month: HQ |
| Handyman → another handyman | First month at half price | $25 HQ credit after they pay 2 months | HQ, from fees already received |
| Anyone → a property manager | Homeowner Free: $0 forever. Home Plus: $9.99/month, first 60 days free. Handyman Pro: $39/month, first 60 days free. Property Managers: $3 per unit per month, minimum 10 units, first 60 days free. | 10% of their HQ fee for 12 months | HQ, from fees already received |
Thank-you discounts are offered by participating pros (look for the Thank-you discount badge). Discounts are taken off the pro’s normal price and shown on the quote.
How the app keeps track
Get your code
Every member gets a personal code, like HQ-SAM4K, and a share link.
Your friend uses it
They tap your link or type your code when they sign up or book. The app records who referred whom.
The job is done
Both sides tap “Job complete” in the app.
Your reward appears
Your discount coupon or HQ credit shows up in the app, ready to use.
Partner rules, in plain words
- One level only. Rewards only for people you refer yourself — never from people they refer.
- No pay for signing people up. Rewards come only from completed jobs or paid plans.
- Free, nothing to buy.
- Be honest. Tell people: “I get a thank-you discount if you use my code.” No spam — share with people you know.
- Real discounts only. Pros may not raise prices to cover a discount. Discounts show on the quote.
- Company rewards go to the company, in writing, and are disclosed to owners or boards.
- Codes are used at sign-up or booking only. No self-referrals, no fake accounts. Rewards gained unfairly are cancelled.
- HQ pays only from fees already received. Rewards never add to anyone’s job price.
- Partners are not employees, agents or legal partners of Formativelabz Inc. “Partner” is the program’s name only.

Property manager to a colleague
We’ve started using HandymanHQ for cleaning and upkeep across our units — quotes from local pros, checked documents and owner reports. Homeowner Free: $0 forever. Home Plus: $9.99/month, first 60 days free. Handyman Pro: $39/month, first 60 days free. Property Managers: $3 per unit per month, minimum 10 units, first 60 days free. Note: my company may receive a disclosed referral reward. handymanhq.ca/property-managers.html
Each message says you may get a reward — that’s the honest (and legal) way to share. Please don’t send to strangers or post in groups that don’t allow promotions.
Partner questions
Who can be an HQ Partner?
Everyone with a HandymanHQ account — homeowners, handymen, property managers and businesses. You get your own referral code automatically. There is nothing to buy.
Who pays for the discounts?
Thank-you discounts between homeowners and handymen are given by the handyman, off his own price, because you brought him a new customer. HQ credits and partner rewards are paid by HandymanHQ, only from plan fees it has already received.
How does the app know who referred whom?
Your friend uses your link or types your code when they sign up or book. The app records it at that moment. Codes cannot be added later, and you cannot refer yourself.
When do I get my reward?
Homeowner thank-you discounts appear after the referred job is marked complete by both sides. HQ credits and partner rewards are paid after the referred account has paid 2 months of its plan.
Is this multi-level marketing?
No. You only get rewards for people you refer yourself — never from people they refer — and you never get paid just for signing someone up.
Do I pay tax on rewards?
Discounts are simply lower prices. Cash rewards can count as income — ask your accountant. HQ may issue tax slips where the law requires.
