About US
The world over small and micro business generally have websites and or online stores. In Africa many skilled people have no access to local markets and you will find the eager few with badly drafted signs outside builders yards, at robots and more. Skilled tradesmen and retired but active professionals could form the core of a unique job creation initiative. Many local people have advanced capability in their trades, as nurses and care givers, au pairs, cooks and more.
We are able to play a part in local job creation as we are able to provide access to neighbourhood markets by providing listings, websites and or stores that showcase services and workmanship.
The users of home based services are invited to recommend local businesses for listing as Neighbourhood Startups. New potential customers are able to derive comfort from the recommendations of past users of the services on offer. We suggest that you review the recommendations of others and that you add your own satisfaction rating once the services have been completed. To get started you can create a free listing and then you can send us an e-mail requesting us to add the micro business that you recommend to our kickstart forum. You may also ask that we build the report for you. To do this we will need information and customer satisfaction reports from you.
