Our Story

Built by people who've been on the job site.

1099 Finder started because finding a qualified independent contractor shouldn't take a week of phone calls, dead-end referrals, and crossed fingers.

Mission

Cut the friction. Get the work done.

The trades are the backbone of every construction project, renovation, and build in America. But the system for connecting businesses with skilled independent contractors is broken — it's slow, unreliable, and built on word-of-mouth that doesn't scale. We're fixing that. 1099 Finder is a direct marketplace where businesses post what they need and qualified contractors show up. No staffing agencies. No markups. No runaround.

What We Stand For

No fluff. Just principles.

01

Direct connections only

We don't sit in the middle of your deal. Businesses and contractors connect directly — no middlemen taking a cut.

02

Contractors are the product

We built this for the people swinging hammers and pulling wire. Their profiles, their reputation, their business.

03

Speed is respect

Time is money on a job site. Every feature we build is designed to get you to the right person faster.

04

Verified, not just listed

Anyone can make a profile. We're building tools to verify licenses, check references, and surface real track records.

Hi, I'm Jordan

After years of working in the construction and home service industry, I experienced the same challenge over and over: finding dependable independent contractors when I needed help on a project. I also met countless skilled professionals looking for more work but struggling to connect with the right businesses.

It became clear there should be a better way. That's why I created 1099 Finder.

My goal is simple: build a trusted marketplace where businesses can quickly connect with independent contractors, and contractors can find legitimate opportunities without endless phone calls, social media posts, or word-of-mouth searches.

1099 Finder isn't about selling leads or making unrealistic promises. It's about making professional connections easier and helping good people find good work.

We're still growing, and every new contractor and business that joins helps strengthen the community. Whether you're looking to hire, subcontract work, or expand your network, I'm grateful you've chosen to be part of what we're building.

Thank you for being here and for helping make 1099 Finder a trusted resource for contractors and businesses alike.
