Guyub

Connecting struggling independent local businesses with community members to save our favourite restaurants and services though the Covid-19 crisis

THE COVID-19 PROBLEM

Despite governments’ best efforts, Covid-19 is creating severe cash flow problems for independent local restaurants and stores. At the same time, parts of the community are also looking for ways to help protect the lifestyle they are used to. How do we connect struggling establishments to people who want to help save their communities?

THE SOLUTION 

Guyub connects independent local establishments with community members who want to save a specific business or become a “community hero”. To encourage this, a donation today will result in vouchers or thank you packages from the business when the Covid-19 pandemic is over – providing a win-win scenario for all parties. After Covid-19, Guyu will start allowing community members to purchase micro-shares of their favourite establishments, thereby providing creating even closer connections within a local community.
