The ProHub concept started with a coffee and a conversation — but its foundation started 25 years ago with a jack-of-all-trades father who had just lost his job and a son determined to show him a way forward working for himself. Atlantic Canada is full of skilled, hardworking people who just need a place to start. We built ProHub for them.
Finding a reliable local tradesperson or service pro in Atlantic Canada is harder than it should be. Word of mouth works — until it doesn't. Facebook groups help — but there's no accountability.
National platforms like TaskRabbit barely exist here, and when they do, they charge pros 15–30% of their earnings just to access customers. Skilled local pros are losing work to out-of-province apps that take money out of the region.
ProHub is the fix — a two-sided marketplace built specifically for Atlantic Canada where customers find trusted verified pros, and those pros keep every dollar they earn.
Platform fee paid by customers — not taken from the pro's earnings. Pros keep 100% of what they charge.
Launching first in Halifax Regional Municipality in 2026, expanding rapidly across Atlantic Canada.
Headquartered in Nova Scotia. Built by people who live and work here.
Three words. Every decision runs through them.
Every pro is identity-verified and background-checked before their first booking. Every review is tied to a real, completed transaction.
We're not a national app reluctantly serving Atlantic Canada. This region is our entire focus — we know the communities and are invested in the local economy.
ProHub is built for outcomes. Customers get the job done. Pros get paid reliably and fast. Every feature we build serves those two goals.
The gig economy extracts from service workers. We reject that model. Pros keep 100% of what they earn — full stop.
Escrow-backed payments protect both sides. Customers know their money is safe. Pros know they'll be paid for completed work.
ProHub is long-term infrastructure for Atlantic Canada's service economy. We're not building to flip — we're in it for the long haul.
Because nobody else was doing it right. National platforms don't understand regional nuance — the seasonal nature of Atlantic trades, the tight-knit community dynamic where reputation travels fast, or the fact that a handyman in Cape Breton operates in a fundamentally different market than one in Toronto.
Atlantic Canada has over 1.3 million people, a robust trades and services sector, and zero dominant local platforms. ProHub is launching in HRM first, then expanding across the full Atlantic region.
"ProHub started recently with a coffee and a conversation. But honestly? It started 25 years ago.
My Dad was laid off and didn't know what came next. He had a lifetime of skills — carpentry, welding, refinishing — but didn't think he could work for himself. He didn't know where to start. How to set up a business. How to find customers. How to market himself.
So we built him a business. Before long he had an established client base, some great contracts, and was making a name for himself. He spent the remainder of his working life doing his own thing, on his own terms.
That stuck with me.
Atlantic Canada is full of people like him — skilled, hardworking, and just needing a place to start.
ProHub is for them."
