Developed using asp.net with mssql database, this website has extremely low operating cost and can be run from the home or office anywhere in the world.

Expansion Potential: Properly managed, this website could be sold to an existing recruitment company or to any organization interested in reaching the over 50s. Potential to build a national franchise model around the website by allocating UK territories to commission only sales people responsible for selling advertising space/job placements.
Competition: www.skilledpeople.com, www.aged2excel.co.uk and some brick-and-mortars recruitment agencies targeting the over 50s, although some are also using our website to publish their job ads.
