💚 FixThatNow is a mission, not a marketplace

We believe that honest professionals and satisfied customers should be able to find each other easily —
no hidden costs, commissions or wasted time.

That's why we're building FixThatNow:

A platform that works for everyone.

Professionals deserve visibility.
Customers deserve reliability.
Municipalities deserve fair partners.

📌 Short Summary for Journalists (100 words)

FixThatNow is a Dutch service platform that connects consumers with reliable professionals in their area within 30 seconds. The platform operates without commissions, expensive leads, and spam: customers receive a maximum of five quotes, and providers keep 100% of their revenue. FixThatNow was built on a personal mission—born from the founder's own experiences, who started out as a cleaner and saw how both professionals and customers were hampered by inefficient platforms, marketing costs, and lack of visibility. FixThatNow consciously chooses transparency, simplicity, and honesty.

📘 Medium Story (press-friendly)

FixThatNow didn't start in an office, but in cleaning.
The founder worked for years in hotels, restaurants and companies, and saw firsthand how professionals struggled to stay visible — and how customers sometimes waited weeks for a reliable answer.
Later, when his wife started working as a self-employed cleaner, the problem became even clearer:
It's not the work that's hard, it's finding clients.
This led to the mission behind FixThatNow:
Building a platform that truly supports professionals, doesn't overwhelm customers with spam, and where everyone works without commissions or expensive leads.

📖 Full Founder Story — “From Cleaner to Founder”

💚 FixThatNow is a mission, not a marketplace
In 2018, I came to the Netherlands with one suitcase and no plan. I found work in cleaning—hotels, restaurants, businesses. It was hard but honest work. When my wife later came to the Netherlands and started as a self-employed cleaner, we finally saw the real problem:
👉 Anyone who doesn't understand advertising or websites will remain invisible.
👉 Good professionals don't know how to reach customers.
👉 Customers wait days or even weeks for a single quote.
👉 And platforms with commissions or lead packages only make it more difficult.
We started our own company—first Excellent Shine, then Clean It Now. Within six months, we generated over 1,500 leads, 130+ customers, and €50,000 in revenue. But everywhere we saw the same problem:
Good professionals cannot grow because they have no system to find customers.
Customers don't know who is trustworthy.
The market is not working.
And then everything clicked.

⚡ The Discovery
The problem is not the cleaning.
The problem is the connection.
Platforms sell the same lead to 5–10 vendors.
Customers are being inundated with calls.
Professionals pay hundreds of euros per month for bad leads.
And whoever pays the most wins.

🛠️ What we build
I didn't want another "lead platform." No commissions. No spam. No chaos.
I wanted to build the platform we needed when we started.
FixThatNow is that system:
Professionals keep 100% of their turnover
Customers receive a maximum of 5 quotes, clearly presented and without spam
Providers only respond to what they want to
No commissions. No per-lead fees of €20–€50
Only €5 per quote, or a fixed amount per month
FixThatNow is built for people, not clicks.

Now I'm building the platform I needed then.”**

“We don't want to be the biggest, but the most honest.”

Quote 3 — About visibility

“A professional who does his job well should never be invisible.”

📰 Why FixThatNow is relevant for media

1. Growing frustration in the market

Dutch customers are being bombarded on many platforms by 5–10 companies that get their data → telephone spam, pressure, confusion.

3. Strong focus on local economy

Municipalities, local entrepreneurs and regional newspapers have a clear interest in initiatives that local craftsmen help grow.

4. Unique positioning

FixThatNow works without algorithmic sequences, without that big companies buy everything, without that customers pay unnecessary fees.

Customers pay nothing.
Providers pay either €5 per quote or a fixed monthly fee (€49 / €99).
No surprises.
