Questions & Answers
Which plan should I choose?
If you are joining as an individual you can choose between the Personal or Premium plans. You can join as a Personal member and then upgrade to Premium at any time, or join as Premium member immediately. If you wish to register any type of organization select Business/Group membership.
If you wish to participate in the Trruster Social Capital Fund (TSCF) you will need to join either as a Premium Member or as a Group Member.
Can I use the Personal Plan for my business?
Yes you can, however, it may be better to open a separate Premium or Group Plan to keep personal and business details separate.
Do I need a personal account to open a business/group account?
While you don't need to be a Personal Plan member to open a Group Plan account it is, however, a good idea to have both. Your business/group account builds your business/group reputation and your Personal account builds your personal reputation. In addition, if you wish to add Key Personnel in your business or group profile, those key personnel will need to be Personal members in order to be added.
I trade under my personal name. How should I set up my business account?
If you trade under your personal name, you can setup your business account with a descriptive title. For instance, if you are a plumber trading under Joe Bloggs, set up your business account as Joe Bloggs Plumbing, or, if you are an online marketer, you could use Joe Bloggs Online Marketing.
The more descriptive the title the more easily your business will be found by potential customers.
Alternatively, you can open a Premium Account and add the services you provide in your profile.
Either way will work.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes, the minimum age is 18 years.
How is Group revenue defined?
Revenue is defined as the gross annual income before costs and taxes in the previous financial year (US dollars), or an estimate for new organisations.
For example, $5 million gross annual income would result in a subscription fee of about $4,000 per month (5,000,000*.01/12, subject to rounding).
How do you define essential services?
Essential services are defined as services that people depend on for their livelihood in areas such as energy, health, food, transport, education and so on.
Broadly speaking, essential services relate to non-discretionary spending.
How do you determine essential service providers?
Any group, business, organisation can elect to be classified as an essential service.
Acceptance as an essential service will depend on customer nominations.
For small organisations (less than or equal to 1000 clients/customers) the requirement is 100 current member nominations.
For large organisation (greater than 1000 clients/customers) the requirement is 500 current member nominations.
The number of nominations must not fall below the required threshold at all times.
