TARGET AUDIENCE
The target prospects are petty traders, artisans, small and medium scale business owners, students, professionals, and big or well-established businesses to connect directly with potential customers who will require or patronise their goods and services.
Doing businesses in Africa often take informal approaches i.e. hawking, exhibiting goods on roadsides, in the shops etc.

The concept of "ISO"- My Market Place platform does not require you to have a permanent/fixed address associated with your business:
• A business owner or service provider can run his/her enterprise in his/her home as well as on the go.
• It could be a part time business especially for students who need to work on part time to ease their financial burden of school fees.
• It could be a small kiosk in front of a house
• It could be a hawker along the road
• It could be a roadside artisan with no office or shop space
• It could be either of us who needs anything such as a mechanic, plumber, handyman or boli (roasted plantain) seller, however we are unaware that one of the service providers exist within our proximity. For instance, you could have a car breakdown and need a mechanic, or you could be new to an area and need a good school to enrol your child, groceries stores, hospital or a worship center for your family.
• For that person who just lost his/her shop or office space because of high rent, or a traveler who needs a taxi, hotel , bar/restaurants or a relaxation centre around..."ISO" -"My Market Place" E-business App has got you covered in everyway.
