What do you think of this corona inspired idea?

We can't travel but we still need to get things done. Instead of traveling, companies can hire vetted local expertise in their industry of choice to carry out selected tasks for them ie: Inspecting property, goods, Sourcing products, manufacturers, items Registering a business, opening local branches etc. What is your two cents on this on demand business model? Does something similar exist?

Nice idea.
A few similar such services exist - each in their own city/state - but each service is usually for a few specific services (like getting your packages or laundry, selling your property etc) - I don't know of any platform that combines all such services...Fiverr would be the closest perhaps.
the only risk here - or issue that would need to check - is if this service has a need in 'regular' times, when the Corona passes in a few months.
Good luck

Hello. I am a bit skeptical about this idea. If I understood correctly. you are proposing that companies instead of asking people to travel to do their job should hire "local" talent to do the same job. Although it sounds to be good but practically it seems to be a little difficult to implement. Why? Because, companies would have to put additional salaries expense, additional tools expense and other additional costs on their financial statements. They can't just lay off their existing employees just because they can't travel to do the job. However, it still needs more discussion! Lemme know your thoughts on this.
P.S: I am new to this platform but old with my skills.
