FREE - TAKES 3 MINUTES
Take the Business Growth Quiz
11 questions about your business — where you're at, what you offer, who you're trying to reach, and what you want to achieve.
No right or wrong answers. Just honest ones.
The quiz uses your answers to match you to one of 18 business profiles. That profile tells you where your business is sitting right now, what's likely holding you back, and which pathway makes the most sense for where you want to go.
PERSONALISED - DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
Get your personalised growth plan
Your quiz result comes with a free personalised growth plan — a clear picture of where your business is sitting, what's likely slowing momentum, and what to do next. It's specific to your business, not generic advice.
Your plan also recommends which Shop Local pathway fits you best — vendor storefront or business listing — and which tier level makes sense for where you are right now.
YOU CHOOSE - NO OBLIGATION
Choose your membership option
Based on your result, you'll see the recommended pathway and tier. You can take that recommendation or look across all options and choose what feels right. There's no lock-in and no sales pressure — just a clear picture of what each level includes.
Not sure which tier is right? Start at the level that feels manageable. You can always upgrade as your business grows and you want more visibility or support.
ONGOING - GROWS WITH YOU
Get set up and start growing
Once you join, you'll be walked through getting your storefront or listing live. You'll also get access to the business tools suite — a set of AI-powered tools that help you get clear on your offer, your audience, and your content. One tool at a time, in a sequence that builds on itself.
Everything you enter into the tools carries through automatically. You put your business information in once — and the whole suite uses it to give you sharper outputs every time.
MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
Six options -Two pathways - One region

COMMON QUESTIONS
Things people usually ask
Do I have to take the quiz to join?
No! you can go straight to the membership options and choose what fits. But the quiz takes 3 minutes and gives you a personalised recommendation, so most people find it worth doing first. It removes the guesswork.
Can I change my membership tier later?
Yes. Start at whatever level feels right for where you're at now. You can upgrade any time as your business grows or you want more visibility and support. There's no lock-in.
What's the difference between a vendor and a listing?
A vendor membership means you have your own storefront on Shop Local where customers can browse and buy your products directly. A listing membership means your business gets a dedicated profile on the platform — customers can find you, see what you offer, and contact you, but you're not running an online store. Listings are ideal for service-based businesses or anyone who wants more foot traffic rather than online orders.
Is there really 0% commission on sales?
Yes. Shop Local takes no commission on your sales. Your monthly membership is the only cost. What you make, you keep.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll receive a welcome email with everything you need to get started. Vendors will be walked through setting up their storefront. Listing members will be sent an intake form so we can build your profile. You'll also get access to the business tools suite as part of your membership.
Do the business tools cost extra?
No. The tools are included in your membership. The Audience Direction Tool, Business Clarity Engine, and Offer Clarity Tool are available to all members. The Content Generator is available to Spotlight and above.
I'm not sure which option is right for me. What should I do?
Take the quiz. That's exactly what it's designed to figure out. It takes 3 minutes, it's free, and it gives you a specific recommendation based on your business — not a one-size-fits-all answer. If you're still unsure after that, send us an email and we'll help you work it out.
