Currently our group is not big enough to pay members for the hours they put into running Symbi. Whilst we’re small, we simply do not charge administration to the members who put time and energy into the business.

5% of our income after expenses goes to charity and all other income is being held for future investment. The dream is to build an app with shop and chat functions all built in.

Once we get up to about 100 members we will start making and distributing orders of organic fruit and veg, we’ll also start making weekly purchases, and we’ll be able to obtain even greater discounts.

The bottom-line though, no matter what changes occur, is that you make savings on your purchases. Because we buy wholesale, this point never changes. Doing your shopping through Symbi is always cheaper than shopping anywhere else.
