# Welcome to Helpz

Helpz is an app that connects students with businesses offering student discounts, deals or rewards.

Local businesses are an important part of university towns as it's what makes the place unique, and that's why a large part of the app is focused on **connecting students with local businesses.**

As a local business, Helpz provides you with your own Dashboard to manage the relationship between your business and the local uni students.

The Helpz Dashboard will enable your local business to...

1. **Become more visible to students**
2. **Drive more student sales**
3. **Increase the number of returning customers**

****

To make things easier for you, we have already made your listing on our app for you, so all you need to do is claim it for free below, and add any discounts / deals or student exclusive offers to your listing.

We're here to help. If you have any problems setting up your business on Helpz (eg. technical support, need a logo or suitable images for your listing) we can help with all of that - just contact your local support team.
