Keep Your Business Moving
Keep your business moving. Protect your customer relationships. Create new opportunities.
Protect customer relationships
Say yes to the customer even when your crew is booked, and decide how the work gets done.
Manage your workload
Move overflow, specialty or out-of-area work to a qualified business instead of stretching your team.
Keep customers satisfied
Customers get a timely response instead of a "we can't fit you in" — and your reputation stays intact.
How it works
How Business Overflow Works
Four simple steps from posting the work to keeping control of your customer.
1. Share your overflow work
Describe the project, location, budget, and type of professional needed.
2. Urban Geeks reviews the opportunity
We review the information and identify potentially suitable businesses within our network.
3. Connect with available professionals
Review interested businesses and determine whether they meet your project requirements.
4. Keep control of your customer relationship
Choose whether to subcontract the work, refer the customer, or arrange a full project handoff.

Customer relationship protection
Your Customers. Your Reputation. Your Choice.
At Urban Geeks, we understand that customer relationships take years to build. Our Business Overflow service is designed to help businesses manage additional work without unnecessarily putting those relationships at risk.
You determine whether you want to remain the primary contractor, introduce another business, or transfer the project entirely.
Subcontract
You stay the primary contractor and keep the customer and the contract. The other business works under you.
Referral
You introduce a qualified business to your customer, who then works with them directly.
Project handoff
You transfer the project fully to another business when that is the best outcome for everyone.
Urban Geeks helps facilitate connections. Project agreements, customer authorization, responsibilities, and payment terms should be documented between the participating parties.

Can I choose which business handles the project?
