This can also be done anonymously. Then there is the confidential market of Follow me for entrepreneurs: This market also works with a profile but the profile is only available in a strictly confidential way through the matching process of the team of Follow me. No publication on the Internet! If a matching request is sent through the network of Follow me, the business owner concerned will be informed if he desires.
