Why it matters

From invisible hustle to visible track record

For business owners

Build your hustle reputation

  • Show you're consistent — weeks you opened and logged activity.

  • Show you're serious — months on the platform, not just once-off uploads.

  • Show you're organised — documents linked to real weeks of trading.

For funders & partners

See behaviour, not just documents

  • See behaviour over time, not just a once-off snapshot.

  • Filter by area, sector, months active, documentation strength.

  • Export clean views for your own analysis and risk tools.

The process

We track hustle — not your bank account.

Record activity

A 1–2 minute weekly check-in: "How was business?" plus payment types. No receipts required.

02

Add proof you already have

Photos of till slips, invoices, mobile money screenshots — all tied to the right week.

03

Get a simple hustle view

A clear timeline and simple scores for consistency, time on platform, and documentation — no credit jargon.
