Local Supplier Gap Finder
Local Supplier Gap Finder
Find practical opportunities for local enterprises using a community’s own spending sample. Group purchases by category, compare local and outside supply, and test an editable local-capture scenario.
An editable scenario, not a business recommendation or measured economic impact. No market data or demand verification. Define “local”, sampling period and missing purchases before comparing categories. Last reviewed: 2026-10-05. Browser-only worksheet: no uploads, accounts or automatic saving. Use one agreed master copy; this is not a synchronised multi-user service. Export before closing and share only with consent.

How this works and what it cannot do
Aggregate recorded amounts by case-insensitive category and supplier location. Hypothetical local revenue = outside spending × chosen capture %. Rank by outside spending; this is a sample-based opportunity screen, not a demand forecast, income multiplier or profit estimate. Local geography and period must be defined consistently by participants.
Agree participation, decision rules and responsibilities locally. These tools do not guarantee prosperity, check legal compliance or replace essential public services. No government funding or administration is assumed.
