Enterprise Account

If you have a personal account and you’re part of an initiative that prioritizes people and planet, you can apply online to create a enterprise account and public profile page.

It’s free to be Good Market Approved and always will be. Here are some reasons that enterprises apply:

 

  • Increase the visibility of their work, their community, and the broader global movement
 
  • Be recognized as Good Market Approved
 
  • Add products, services, events, campaigns, investment opportunities, vacancies, and other offers to the community marketplace
 
  • Find new suppliers, service providers, and partners
 
  • Share information and connect with other like-minded groups
 
  • Access opportunities from networks that use the Good Market commons
 
  • Activate a network page for their own community

Apply

If someone sent you an invite to apply, click the link they shared to go to the Apply page. If not, go to www.goodmarket.global, open the menu in the top left corner, and select Apply.

 

Review the guidelines before clicking the New Application button. Every enterprise is different. The key thing is to use the form to share your purpose and story, and if a question doesn’t apply to your enterprise, select No. 

 

Filling the form in your primary language is recommended. The language can be changed from the top bar on every page.

The first page includes a few required questions
