Getting Started as a Kindo Provider

Kindo connects professional home service providers with residential buildings in New York City. Instead of chasing individual leads, you receive organized opportunities where multiple units in the same building need the same service — so you can work efficiently and earn more per visit.

Step 1: Create your provider account

Visit Kindo and register as a service provider. You'll need your business name, the services you offer, and your contact information. Registration is free.

Step 2: Set up how you're paid

Kindo pays you by transfer to a Stripe account you connect, and Stripe asks for standard business verification information when you connect it. If Kindo pays you by bank transfer or check instead, you can't confirm a booking until Kindo has finished setting that up with you. You don't need either to bid — only before you confirm a booking.

Step 3: Prepare your insurance documents

Each building sets its own insurance requirements. You don't need your paperwork to bid: when a building picks you, you'll be asked for the Certificate of Insurance (COI) and endorsement that building requires, and you can't confirm the booking until the building has signed off. See our Insurance & Compliance Requirements guide for exactly what's needed.

Step 4: Complete your profile

A complete profile helps buildings find and trust you. Add your service areas, business description, and any relevant licenses or certifications. If you have Google reviews, those are factored into how buildings evaluate your bids.

Step 5: Start receiving opportunities

When buildings in your service area need work you offer, you may be invited to submit a bid. You'll see each opportunity in your dashboard with details about the building, the service needed, and the number of units. You decide which opportunities to bid on.

Adding team members

If you have colleagues who work your jobs, you can invite them from your account settings. Anyone you add works the account as your business: they see every job, price and submit bids, coordinate schedules, read and answer residents' messages, and sign the building's paperwork. They can't connect or reset your Stripe account.

Only the account owner can invite or remove a team member.
