**Ashghal Platform** is a Saudi digital platform for construction and maintenance work, connecting clients with workers in a safe and organized manner. Instead of a client randomly searching for a suitable worker, the client posts the required job, then receives price quotes from workers and service providers, and chooses the most suitable one based on price, rating, and experience. ## How it Works The client creates an account and posts the details of the required job, such as the type of work, location, photos, and expected duration. Then, the task appears to suitable workers, and each worker submits their price and completion time. After comparing the offers, the client chooses the suitable worker. Payment is then made through an external financial intermediary, and the amount is held until the work is completed. After the task is completed and confirmed by the client, the amount is released to the worker after deducting the platform's commission. Chat is limited before selection and opens after the worker is chosen and payment is completed, to protect the process and reduce fraud outside the platform. ## Benefits The platform solves an important problem in the market, which is the difficulty of finding a reliable worker at a reasonable price and without financial risk. For the client, the platform provides multiple offers and prices, allowing them to choose the best worker instead of random searching. The financial guarantee also protects them from paying without execution. For the worker, the platform provides direct job opportunities and guarantees that the work amount is reserved before they start execution, reducing the problem of non-payment or delays. For the market, the platform helps organize construction and maintenance work and raises the level of trust and transparency in a sector that relies heavily on personal relationships and unorganized dealings. ## Revenue Model The platform relies on a low commission not exceeding **2.5%** of each successful transaction, deducted from the worker after the work is completed. Example: If the job value is 100 SAR, the worker receives 97.5 SAR, and the platform receives 2.5 SAR. In the future, other income sources can be added, such as optional subscriptions for workers, paid promotion, packages for companies, and additional services within the platform. ## Investment Request The project is technically ready as a website, but it has not been launched commercially yet because this type of platform needs an organized and strong start. A weak launch could harm the project before it gets a real chance in the market. Therefore, we are seeking an initial investment of **1,000,000 Saudi Riyals** to be used for launching the platform commercially and testing the market during the initial phase. The investment will be used for: * Company establishment and legal preparation. * Linking the payment and financial guarantee system. * Platform improvement and development. * Marketing and acquiring clients and workers. * Building an operations and customer service team. * Quality management, evaluation, and process monitoring. * Operating the platform in one or two cities as a start. The founder will provide the technical product, executive work, and full supervision of the project, with a commitment to work on operating and developing the platform during the launch phase.
