How it all started?
WelKomBiz was founded by a group of dedicated directors who saw a significant gap in how residents and businesses in Welkom, Riebeeckstad, Virginia, and Odendaalsrus connect. As residents themselves, they often struggled to find companies that provided specific services and products in the local area. Realizing there was no comprehensive directory that offered this information, they decided to create a solution.
In 2024, WelKomBiz was born—an innovative app designed to list all the companies in Welkom and the surrounding areas in one convenient place. ""Our App"" provides detailed profiles for each company, including contact information, services and product offerings, introductory videos, and addresses. This ensures that residents have easy access to all the information they need, right at their fingertips.
With WelKomBiz, you can effortlessly find and connect with local businesses, making life simpler and more efficient. Our platform also benefits businesses by ensuring their information remains updated and easily accessible to the public. By bringing together the entire business community in one app, WelkomBiz fosters stronger connections and supports local economic growth.
