✅ Step 3: Wait for Admin Approval
To keep the community high-quality and secure, you’ll initially need to be approved by a community admin after you request to join.
We do this to ensure everyone is genuinely part of the local business scene and a paid member. Once we;ve approved you, you;ll be able to start chatting.

Once you're in, you can opt in or out of any of the topic-specific WhatsApp groups. You’re in control of your notifications and involvement.
We recommend starting with:
-
General Chat – for casual updates, intros, and community news
-
Share / Ask the Community – for business questions, offers, and local knowledge exchange
✅ Step 5: Introduce Yourself
Once approved, head to the General Chat group and say hello!
A simple intro helps others connect with you — feel free to share:
