GetAssist works by users submitting requests for assistance with a project as simple as painting a fence or fixing a washing machine. Business owners pay a nominal fee for access to the network and leads while it remains free for consumers.
Users remain anonymous to the point of sale as GetAssist collects and sells zero personal information. Layers upon layers of security and protocol prevent data theft.
