I got this business idea for a startup that shouldn't cost much but could yield decent income. Got the potential to grow bigger if I play my cards right.

It's simple in my city it's difficult for some people to find macon, carpenters, welders, etc to do some stuff for them at home. They will call a friend or a relative who would recommend someone and so on. Some handymen would make ad post on the FB page of my city but people are paranoid and won't save any post just in case.
>The need
Locals need handymen. Handymen need gigs. I'll be the link. A poor-man call center where you tell us your needs and we hook you up with the right people.
>business model
I need help here. My initial thought is that I get a small commission from handymen 5%. I want it to be a free service for the locals. We generate income only from the handymen. This is autistically redundant, I know.
>expenses
Nothing really. This a small town so one post on the city FB page will be enough as advertisement. I can repost every 10 days or so. Till I gain traction.
>building database and coordination
Initially, I will only allow handymen I know on a personal level to be in the call list. I know how qualified they are and how trustworthy. But I need a recruiting model to add people to the listing eventually. Two main criterion: adequately qualified, and trust worthy.
Also I need to design forms so the people taking the calls will know which questions to ask so the handymen will be fully informed about the gig before saying yes or no.

What you guys think?
