Criteria for “Local”
We strongly believe in “getting it local,” and we’ve partnered with Think Boise First, accepting only business customers who meet the criteria they’ve established for what constitutes a locally owned, independent business.
In order to qualify for DealChirp, a business must answer "yes" to the following questions:
- Does this business have a location in the Treasure Valley?
- Is this business privately held?
- Is this business registered in Idaho with no corporate or national headquarters outside of Idaho?
- Do the business owners, totalling 50% or more of the business ownership, live in Ada or adjoining counties? The counties adjoining Ada County are:
- Boise (Idaho City)
- Canyon (Caldwell)
- Elmore (Mountain Home)
- Gem (Emmett)
- Owyhee (Murphy)
- Can the business make independent decisions regarding the name and look of your business?
- Can the business make independent decisions regarding all business purchasing, practices, and distribution?
- Does the business pay all of its own marketing fees, rent, and other business expenses without assistance from a corporate headquarters?
