What we're building and why
OurLocal brings personal membership, local business discovery, community groups, events and trusted connections into one place. We want to create a useful local network where members can discover what's happening around them, while businesses can build relationships with nearby customers.
Our business model combines optional paid Personal and Business memberships, prepaid membership packages and, when approved for launch, advertising opportunities. This page models possible revenue using assumptions you can change yourself. It does not connect to the live membership, payment or advertising systems.
| Membership | Category | Billing | Price (NZ$) | Paying members | Gross monthly | Prepaid cash |
|---|
Founding membership caps: 2,500 paid Personal and 250 paid Business memberships (combined Business tiers). Founding recognition is permanent, but does not imply free lifetime premium services. Plan prices are editable assumptions, not verified current live prices.
Unpaid members & advertising
NZ$10 is your planning assumption, not an established advertising yield. The existing sponsored-advertising release hold remains in place until at least 20,000 eligible members, explicit owner approval and other commercial prerequisites. Including advertising here does not activate it on the website.
Costs & net estimate
Fees are estimated on paid memberships only. Actual processor fees may also have fixed charges, currency conversion or other costs. Net figures are illustrative and exclude tax, refunds and additional variable expenses.
| Estimated monthly gross recurring + advertising | NZ$0 |
| Estimated monthly fees on recurring memberships | NZ$0 |
| Estimated monthly net after entered costs | NZ$0 |
| Estimated prepaid net after entered fees | NZ$0 |
Revenue breakdown

Annual forecast assumes the entered number of monthly subscribers remains constant for 12 months and that prepaid sales happen once during that year. It does not model churn, growth, GST, refunds, tax or revenue recognition. Prepaid sales are cash receipts, not monthly recurring revenue.
