fixbg.uk has two published fees. No sales call, no introductory teaser that doubles after three months, no feature ladder. The numbers below are the entire commercial model at launch. If we add anything later, the published pricing page changes with it, and we write to every listed tradesman thirty days before any change takes effect.
Paid at signup, immediately after submission
First month free · cancel any time, pro-rata refund
Not comfortable filling in a form? For an additional €60 on top of the €20 setup fee, Adrian will call you, ask all the questions out loud, and complete the application for you. About 30 minutes of your time; the profile setup happens after the call. Entirely optional. Details on the For Traders page.
For readers, fixbg.uk is free. There is no reader subscription, no enquiry fee, no paywall on listings, journal entries or reviews. If we add a reader fee at any point, we will publish that change here and write to every subscribed reader at least thirty days before it takes effect.
fixbg.uk is at launch stage. The cost base is small (one editor, infrastructure shared with sister site Shumen.UK). The setup fee covers the work of onboarding a new trader properly. The monthly fee covers the work that does not stop after onboarding: complaint handling under the 14-day remedy window, project-journal editorial, customer-review moderation, and the hosting itself. A one-time fee would have undercharged for the ongoing effort. The combined cost is still well below what UK directories charge tradesmen for comparable presence. If pricing changes, the published page changes with it, and we will write to every listed tradesman thirty days before any change takes effect.
Pay-to-rank corrupts a referral platform. The whole point of being on fixbg.uk is that placement was earned by working transparently and being reviewed publicly, not by bidding for it. We may revisit a paid feature once there is real reason to (for example: traders wanting deeper editorial coverage of a specific job in the project journal). At launch, simpler is better.
We live in Bulgaria. Bulgaria uses the euro. The audience earns and spends in euro, the listed tradesmen earn and spend in euro, Stripe pays out in euro. Pricing in any other currency would force a pointless conversion in both directions.
