Community based businesses often struggle to compete. They come in all shapes and sizes and often find it difficult to individualize and give voice to the things that makes them different.

Aside from the very large companies that have the finances to advertise and promote and to set up online shopping, many find it hard to reach out to their communities.

Often the hidden gems are located in off main-street positions depending on passing footfall for the survival of their businesses. Other not-for-profit organizations find it harder still to reach their communities.

Many businesses do not have the financial or skill resources to invest in and operate ecommerce web sites, or to compete in search engine optimization and pay-to-click marketing.

Ubizfree responds to these needs by giving businesses in urban and rural communities FREE multi feature ecommerce web shops, which need no online marketing skills.

Linked to the free web shops are mirror shops, which provide an opportunity for community members to participate in business.
