September 30, 2021, marked a significant milestone for freelance service providers in Kenya and East Africa as ACL launched an online platform that links businesses to skilled professionals.
The platform, www.itsmyhustle.com, is designed to provide a streamlined and convenient way of doing business for both clients and service providers.
According to Andrew Teyie, Managing Partner of ACL, the platform offers a unique opportunity for service providers to take charge of their own destiny.
"They don't need an office, this is their office. It is the largest marketplace of service providers in East Africa," Teyie said.
The platform features 25 job categories, including voice-over artists, make-up artists, hairstylists, social media influencers, and many more.
Businesses and service providers can leverage the vast East African markets of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan for talents and services.
Hezekiah Orenyo, a designer who frequently uses the platform, praised its efficiency, which has enabled him to manage his business during the COVID-19 period.
"It has been useful to me and my family especially during this time of COVID 19. I work remotely and I am assured of my payment since the client pays beforehand when we agree on terms," Hezekiah said.
