F.A.Q. MAINSTREETMATCH.COM
How much does this service cost?
Right now it is completely free to both Opportunity Seekers and Opportunity Providers. It is time to take advantage of this service.
Have opportunities and opportunity providers been carefully screened?
NO!! This site is like a “First Date Site”: Your situation may turn into something wonderful, or it may not. There are no guarantees.
Who are the Seekers?
Every seeker is different. Many will have experience. Some will have capital. Most will have “heart.”
I consider myself a seeker, but I do not know what I want to do. Is this the site for me?
Probably not. This site is for focused seekers who know what they want and just need an opportunity to help them get there.
Is this a good site to sell my business?
POSSIBLY, but it is free to list, so why not? Please be ready to offer something special to the seeker.
I own a vacant retail space and the traditional listing sites are not working for me. Could I list my available space here?
Yes, this site may be for you, but please offer the seeker help in getting started.
Do you allow realtors to submit listings?
YES, but as with all listings, we ask that you offer something specific and out of the ordinary. This is not a “property for sale” website.
Are business partnership wanted listings allowed?
GREAT IDEA!! Make sure you are specific and ready to offer something realistic and attractive to a business person.
I do not have much capital but am motivated and have experience. Should I add a listing?
YES, there are many empty retail location owners who may want to work with you. You will not know unless you try.
Is there a good way to get generally acquainted with a specific town?

Our town already has a (fill in the blank) but they could use some competition. Should I submit a listing?
Great idea! What do you have to offer that is unique? Be ready to present your case.
There are not many listings in my category.
Is it worth my time to place a listing? Be the first! Being on the ground floor of an idea is a great place to be. Think of it this way: you will have less competition and you will be helping a new concept site get started. If this site goes viral you will be a pioneer.
I am tired of being a little fish in a big city pond.
Is this the site for me? So glad you asked this very relevant question. YES! Moving to a smaller town could make a big difference. Small towns merchants and building owners are commonly respected small-town leaders and can help you with contacts and resources.
Is this a good place to apply for a job?
Sorry, this is not an employment site. MainStreetMatch.com is dedicated to small business entrepreneurs seeking a place to plant their business as well as towns looking to attract new businesses.
