FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Smalt?

Smalt is your back-office and growth partner for HVAC and electrical shops. You do the craft – we handle the rest.

What's included?

Jobs: predictable projects from day 1, pre-qualified leads. Back office: bookkeeping, payroll, quotes, invoices, dunning. Marketing: SEO site, Google, social & offline. Growth: weekly coaching, strategy, recruiting. See the full service catalogue above.

What does it cost?

No entry fee. We work on a success basis with a 10–15% revenue share – we only earn when you earn.

Do I lose control of my business?

No. It stays your company, your name, your decisions. We're your support team in the background.

Is there a minimum term?

The partnership runs for 3 years – enough time to build sales, back office and growth sustainably.

Do I need a master's certificate to start?

Not necessarily. Founding is also possible via the experienced-journeyman rule or a suitable company structure – we check this in the intro call.

Does it work without my own lead network?

Yes. Through partner projects (e.g. Viessmann, Stadtwerke, E.ON), lead portals and your new SEO website we deliver predictable jobs from day one.

How fast am I up and running?

Typically 6 weeks from first enquiry to first job – including registrations, website and activated sales.

What happens to my existing bookkeeping & tax advisor?

We take over ongoing bookkeeping and work with your tax advisor, or introduce a suitable one – a clean handover is part of onboarding.

How is the revenue share calculated and billed?

Based on revenue processed through the platform, transparently traceable in the CRM and billed monthly. No hidden costs.

How do I become a partner?
