Innovative Vancouver Firm Takes Sharing Economy to Local Market With New Startup Venture

(Newswire.net — October 4, 2016) Vancouver, BC — Urbanshare.ca, based in Vancouver, BC Canada, and founded by Alex Gontcharov, is a new company bringing its spin on the collaborative consumption craze with online borrowing and lending of items among consumers in the local city with their digital online market place platform soon to launch. In the recent months, the company has been busy building the product and acquiring a substantive number of customers and eager following to take advantage of the concept which will first be launched in Vancouver by the end of 2016. This is a new take on the peer to peer lending concept, hence our high hopes for the long term success for the online Vancouver initiative.

Urbanshare.ca is a unique company in the local Vancouver market – pioneering a concept already being successfully used by other companies such as AirBnB and Uber, but with a focus on lending and borrowing of items consumers already own, but which are underutilized in the household. It is poised to revolutionize the way we borrow and lend personal items like lawn mowers and power washers, household items, camping equipment, electronics, musical instruments and even old computer games. This successful endeavor will make acquiring desired items for temporary use a very easy task and help consumers realize the sharing economy income potential of their underutilized assets.

Though the company is currently in a private Beta testing stage, it already has some significant following awaiting its launch planned for Vancouver when people will begin exchanging items for fun and profit. The extensively tested platform is secure and stress-free – one just has to create an account and list whatever they have to lend and the borrower also creates an account on the website to be able to borrow items online in Vancouver. It’s free to sign up and the fee you pay to borrow what you need on the marketplace will be much less than buying that item at a store as new. 

Urbanshare.ca will make it possible for anyone to share what they have and make some cash in the process. This makes it possible for others in this peer to peer lending and borrowing community to acquire the use of items at a fraction of the price, therefore saving cumulatively a lot of money and transferring the benefits to the item owner too.  Having short-term access to something that will only be required for a single job or session is often better and cheaper than owning it, hence the global benefits. This also greatly reduces the need to store and insure items that may only be used a couple of times per year – but can benefit others who need similar items to allow the lender to make some extra income.  This platform allows everyone to share their property safely and to borrow only legitimate, legal items in this open community of peers. 

Previously, being a part of a sharing economy was never easy, especially when it came to the fear of losing your property to someone you do not know. However, this new platform ensures that every member is registered and all the items they lend are covered by the $1000 UrbanShare Guarantee, so as to give all participants peace of mind when dealing with each other.  And one never knows who they will meet in this sharing local community unless they try. With the hype generated in the past few months leading up to the launch, this company has brought together a significant number of people to share what they have. If customers want to use an expensive item like a bouncy castle for a kids’ party, a roof rack for that weekend trip or a tent for the family camping weekend, it’s available. Whatever one needs that is available for lending at affordable rates when you need it in a safe and secure environment is at the heart of what Urbanshare.ca is doing.
