Whatever needs doing.

Most people don't want to become experts in hiring. They want a working geyser, a clean flat, a garden that's under control, a logo that looks right or a website that actually works. GetDone lets you post a job once and hear back from local service providers who do that kind of work, instead of chasing quotes across five different apps.

When you need to find a professional, the questions are always the same. Who does this kind of work nearby? What should it cost? Can I trust them? A services marketplace answers all three in one place: you see who is available, what they charge and what their previous customers had to say before you decide to hire a professional.

GetDone is starting with services in Cape Town, from home services like plumbing, electrical work, cleaning and moving, through to business services such as accounting, IT support and digital marketing. Freelance professionals — designers, photographers, copywriters, developers — will be able to pick up once-off and ongoing work in the same place.

The long-term plan is a broader task marketplace for South African professionals, so that finding local services works the same way in every major city. Cape Town is the starting point, not the limit.
