Trust
Saturated global platforms and unverified review systems are killing online trust.

FAQ
Your questions answered
Why join before the platform is fully populated?
We are currently in the exclusive “Founder Intake” phase. We are hand-picking our initial 250 partners to ensure the ecosystem is high-quality before we open the doors to the public. This “Clean Slate” is your strategic advantage—by joining now, you secure your position as a category leader without competing against thousands of other listings. We don’t scrape data from the internet—we verify every business. We are building a trusted network.
What exactly do I get with the "Concierge Setup"?
We know you are busy. As a Founder, you don’t need to learn our software. Within 24 hours of joining, our team will WhatsApp you. You simply send us your existing menu, website link, or photos, and we build your entire professional profile for you. You don’t lift a finger until it’s live.
Will my price ever go up?
Never. That is the primary benefit of the Founder’s Circle. The standard price will be €600/year (or more as we add features), but your price is locked at €450/year for life, regardless of how big the platform grows.
Can I pay monthly?
No. The Founder’s Circle is an exclusive annual membership designed for committed partners, not casual renters. While the core platform is fully built and live today, your upfront investment allows us to accelerate our marketing campaigns and fast-track the release of new Roadmap features. Monthly options will be available for standard members later, but they will cost significantly more over the year (€720/year).
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. We offer a 30-Day Founder’s Guarantee. If you feel Algarve Connect isn’t the right “Asset” for your business within the first 30 days, we will refund your payment in full. We are looking for partners, not hostages.
Is VAT (IVA) included in the €450 price?
No. The Founder’s Circle membership is €450 + IVA at the legal rate in force (currently 23% in Portugal).
Portuguese Businesses: You will be charged the standard rate (Total: €553.50) and receive a fully deductible tax invoice.
EU Businesses (Outside Portugal): If you provide a valid VIES VAT number at checkout, the Reverse Charge mechanism applies, and you will be charged 0% tax.
Is this just another website for Expats?
Absolutely not. Our mission is to connect the entire Algarve. While we are launching in English, full European Portuguese localisation is a top priority on our roadmap. We are building the first platform designed to bridge the gap between the local community and international residents.
I already have a website. Is the Creative Partner perk relevant to me?
Yes. It covers far more than just web design. As a Founder, you get 25% off everything our agency offers—from designing new restaurant menus and flyers to social media graphics or a full brand refresh. Think of us as your on-demand marketing department, available at a permanent discount whenever you need us.
I’m a service provider (Plumber/Lawyer), not a restaurant. Is this for me?
Absolutely. In fact, you might benefit the most. Our platform allows clients to WhatsApp you directly or “Request a Quote” without you needing a dedicated website. You also get access to the future “Job Board” to find staff.
Can I join for free now and upgrade to Founder later?
You can upgrade to a standard “Pro” membership later, but you cannot become a Founder. The Founder’s Circle is strictly limited to this initial intake of 250 partners. Once these spots are sold out, the “Lifetime Price Lock” and “All-Access Roadmap” offer disappears forever. If you wait, you will pay the standard rate for less value.
Does the €450 include future upgrades like the Property Hub?
Yes! Founding Partners get “All-Access” status to every future module (Real Estate, Marketplace) automatically. Plus, you help decide what comes next. If you need a specific feature for your business, tell us. As a Founder, your feedback directly shapes our development roadmap.
How is this different from Facebook Groups?
Facebook is a “Feed”—your post disappears in 2 hours. Algarve Connect is a “Library”—your business is permanently searchable, categorized, and SEO-optimized. We are building an asset that works for you while you sleep, not a feed you have to constantly feed.
When does the traffic start?
We are onboarding the 250 Founders right now. We don’t want to send visitors to an empty site. Once the Founders are live (Q1 2026), we turn on the “Marketing Firehose” to drive traffic to your profiles. You are getting in early to ensure you are the one they find when the doors open.
How do I track if it's working?
Your Founder Dashboard is your “Digital Cockpit.” It is already fully built and ready to track every interaction. Right now, it shows your profile setup. The moment our public marketing campaign begins, those numbers will light up, showing you exactly how many people are viewing, saving, and contacting you in real-time. You will be ready to capture the very first wave of traffic.
I own multiple businesses. Do I need to pay €450 for each one?
No! This is a major benefit of the Founder’s Circle. Your Founder status applies to your User Account, not just a single listing. You can manage multiple businesses (e.g., a restaurant and a bar) under one subscription. Note: The “Concierge Setup” service covers the build of your primary profile. Additional businesses can be added by you manually, or we can offer a setup package for your full portfolio.
Who owns the content you create for my profile?
You do. We are building assets for your business. The professional copy and profile setup we provide are yours to keep. If you ever decide to leave, we don’t hold your data hostage—it’s your business, we just amplify it.
What happens after the first year?
Your subscription will renew automatically at your locked-in rate of €450. We will send you a reminder 30 days before. You are free to cancel anytime, but please note: if you cancel your Founder status, you lose the €450 price lock forever. If you rejoin later, it will be at the standard market rate.
Is there an App?
Currently, Algarve Connect is built as a “Mobile-First” Web Platform. This means it works exactly like an app in your browser—fast, responsive, and no download required. However, a dedicated Native iOS & Android App is officially in development. As a Founder, you will be the first to test the Beta version before it hits the App Stores.
