In mere days, Ironbusinesses.com experienced an outpouring show of support with more than 1,000 transactions to date – all from grassroots word-of-mouth outreach.
"When the war broke out, it became clear that returning to normal business operations, let alone growth, would be difficult for a long time," Baldiga said. "After reconnecting with my parents, who were evacuated from their home, I decided to take action! Since then, I've invested dozens of hours and thousands of shekels to make ironbusinesses.com a reality."
Through ironbusinesses.com, shoppers can search through services and products from nearly 1,000 businesses and a range of categories: Marketing, Home Products, Books and Toys, Jewelry and Gifts, Graphic Design, Financial Planning, Business Consulting, and more.
"Within 72 hours of launching ironbusinesses.com, I had manually registered hundreds of businesses," Baldiga said. "These companies are not asking for donations. They are not asking for charity. They want to work. They want to take care of their families and restore our beloved State of Israel."
