About this app

Grow smarter, faster, and together – a UK Government-funded digital initiative built for your local business success.

What is Voice For Locals (VFL)?
Voice For Locals is a free app designed exclusively for local businesses on and off the high streets across the UK. Funded by the UK Government, the initiative empowers local business owners with tools, technology, and training to thrive in a competitive marketplace. Whether you're a retail store, salon, café, or service provider, the VFL Business App is your all-in-one solution to attract, retain, and grow your customer base—without the high costs of traditional marketing.

Real-Time Shopper Engagement
Turn foot traffic into loyal customers with real-time, location-based shopper engagement. Using the app, you can send personalised offers, discounts, and rewards directly to VFL Shoppers walking near your business. Make your shop the one they choose—right when it matters most.

Automate and Simplify Your Operations
VFL helps you reduce time, effort, and marketing costs by automating key parts of your business. Collect instant customer feedback, send out rewards, manage digital payments, and run relationship-based loyalty programs—all from one simple dashboard. Say goodbye to complex systems and hello to seamless, user-friendly business automation.

Cross-Promote with Complementary Local Businesses
