YourLocalMarketplace

YourLocalMarketplace is an affordable, internet-based business directory (including search, calendar, contact management and reporting features) designed to help local businesses and regional communities grow. YourLocalMarketplace creates a regional marketplace while supporting local economic development functions. Linked to regional internet websites, YourLocalMarketplace allows the public, tourists and buyers the opportunity to search for specific product and services from local businesses in a region. YourLocalMarketplace automates business directory development, supporting both Business Attraction as well as Business Retention and Expansion activities. It also aids in the compilation of economic development statistics.

“I have found the YourLocalMarketplace web site, naming contractors and suppliers locally, a great help… without it, I would have used outside suppliers, only because it would have been an easy way. I now can call up all subcontractors from your site, review and call for references. We have a million dollars to spend on this project, and it will be spent in your region with your local labour force, thanks to your site.”
Randy Black, Urbacon, Toronto
