We manage CIS, Health & Safety and compliance obligations for contractors and subcontractor teams — so you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation. UK-based support.
Designed for small contractors and subcontractor teams across the UK.
RealTradeGuard is built for one type of business. If this is you — we can help.
1–15 people. You're running jobs, quoting, managing subbies — compliance gets pushed to the back. Until it costs you.
Working under CIS, moving between contractors, managing your own H&S paperwork. You need things right — without spending hours on it.
Running 3–10 projects at once, with different subbies on each. The admin pile grows fast. We keep compliance off your desk.
These aren't edge cases. They happen to small construction businesses every week across the UK.
Late or missed CIS returns trigger automatic fines. No warning, no grace period — HMRC acts immediately.
Non-compliant CIS status can block payments from contractors. One missing verification = held invoice.
Employment misclassification, missing H&S records or GDPR gaps can result in tribunal claims and HSE enforcement.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation. UK-based support.
Every month we track, update and document these for your business — you don't have to touch it.
There are generic VA services and expensive law firms. We sit between them — built specifically for UK tradespeople who need compliance handled, not just explained.
CIS deadlines, H&S reviews, ICO renewals — all monitored continuously. You get an alert when action is needed, not a surprise penalty.
Not a platform built for 500-person corporates. Every part of this service is sized and priced for sole traders and small contractors.
No legislation dumps. No 40-page reports. You get a one-page monthly summary that tells you exactly what changed and what (if anything) you need to do.
No annual contracts, no lock-in. If it's not working for you, cancel with 30 days notice. We earn your business every month — not just at the start.
These are the compliance gaps that catch most small UK contractors off guard — often without realising until it's too late.
Monthly CIS returns are easy to forget. HMRC doesn't send reminders — penalties start from day one of a missed deadline.

"I had no idea my CIS returns were at risk. First month in, RealTradeGuard flagged a deadline I'd completely missed. Worth it for that alone."
"We've got 4 subbies and I was always worried about employment law. The monthly digest is genuinely useful — plain English, no waffle."
"The H&S document templates saved me hours. I had a site inspection coming up and had everything ready in one afternoon."
