Founded in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ivylus was created with a mission to help small businesses thrive in a time of unprecedented challenges. As governments worldwide imposed restrictions to curb the spread of the virus, many local businesses faced difficulties in reaching customers and staying afloat. Ivylus was designed to bridge that gap, offering a marketplace tailored specifically to small businesses, enabling them to grow and operate under the new constraints.

Ivylus provides users with unbiased search results, ensuring that smaller, independent businesses are given the spotlight. Unlike many other platforms, large corporate companies are not listed, making Ivylus a haven for customers who want to support local, small-scale enterprises. This marketplace is about leveling the playing field and giving the little guys a fair chance to compete and grow in a difficult environment.
