If you have ever felt like your neighborhood is in need of a particular kind of business, you should check out this app for requested business ventures. The NeedIn app helps people have a say in their local economy by suggesting what kinds of services and products are missing in, but would benefit, their area.
The community platform asks users to post 'needs' to be addressed near their location. Needs are essentially pins dropped onto a map where you can input what kind of service or company is needed there.
The requested business ventures app would come in especially handy in small towns where people regularly have to drive or travel a bit of distance to the next town over.
