About this app

The MarketHub is an App that is built by Concrete Communications in partnership with SMEDAN, to capture all businesses in Nigeria, irrespective of the nature of business. We take pride in calling the App the online version of the printed Yellow pages business directories the world over.

The MarketHub hub acts as a business directory and medium to foster great intersection between "business and business" and "business and customer".

It is a convergence point for Nigerians who wish to establish links with potential customers, establish contacts with suppliers of inputs for their businesses, make enquiries on the ease and processes of doing business in Nigeria, update on events, seminars and other opportunities that can add value to their businesses and, in details, position, our Partner, SMEDAN, as the warehouse of value added services in business promotion and support in Nigeria.

For instance,In the MarketHub App, we provide two news sections. One for SMEDAN News direct from its establishment and the other is relevant business news that is essential for business growth. All up to date.

Also, the App has a dedicated support section for each business sector aimed at answering questions relating to any queries a user might have, with support from the Technical team of SMEDAN.

The App provides a business tips section to give some information to those who wish to grow their business or gain some business insights.

In view of the current pandemic the world over, the Market Hub App is also configured to host on-line and virtual trainings and seminars which hitherto would have required physical contacts, at a token from participants. With The MarketHub, there's also the added advantage of being able to host virtual events and display upcoming events like trade fairs and other business related events in the opportunity section of the app. Details on modalities will be provided in full on request.

The App categorizes businesses, by their type and sector. Also, it creates an ecosystem for business users to showcase their products, connect and communicate with other businesses. The App is to be downloaded free for all users. It is to encourage traffic and populate the App by those searching for information and enquiries about businesses and contacts generally. However, business owners who wish to display their products and drop their contact details on the App will need to pay a token to be able to upload their businesses.

Payment for business uploads is by annual subscription. The App sends an automated renewal notice to subscribers 7 days before expiry. So the subscribers owns the right to renew or discontinue. If there is no response to discontinue, the App automatically renews the subscription and deducts the annual dues from the subscribers' account.
