Buying an annual maintenance contract for your home is a bit like regular servicing for your car. Perhaps your car is running smoothly, but you should still periodically change the oil and check everything from your engine to your brakes and tyres. “Annual maintenance contracts are the same,” says Ibrahim Colak, founder and chief executive of UAE online service marketplace Mr Usta. “Maybe there are very minor problems that can be fixed and you get it done, so you don’t pay more later when it becomes a major problem.” |
Need a plumber or a handyman? These online service shops have the answer"It may not have been top of the business plan, but Ibrahim Colak can now cite rescuing a drone from a tree as a service offered via his online marketplace.
