About Weshop

WeShop’s mission is to create a global, e-commerce social community empowered by user ownership. WeShop is a shoppable social network. It is a community built for shoppers to inspire, guide and earn rewards. In one platform, we have blended User-Generated Content specific to products, online retail, and a rewards mechanism relevant to people interested in share ownership. WeShop is a community owned social commerce platform offering shoppers the option to receive shares in the Company every time they make a purchase or refer a new user who makes purchases. WeShop earns revenues from advertising and commissions on sales through the platform. Retailers pay commissions to affiliate networks as a percent of the transaction value, and the affiliate networks in turn pay WeShop a percentage of that commission. To launch and test the platform, WeShop partnered with Influencers, sponsored an organization, Salford City, and developed an innovative Founder Program to spread awareness of the platform. For more information on the Founder Program, see “Business—Founder Program”. Salford City was given cash and an increased referral bonus of 2.5% for its referrals. Influencers were given the opportunity to attend promotional and educational events—certain, high-profile Influencers received share-based incentives and other Influencers were given small payments in cash as the Company experimented to find the best method for attracting new users. WeShop offered all users, including Influencers, a referral bonus of 1% of the amount spent by the referred users in their first five years as WeShop shares. For example, if a user referred a friend who spends £1,000 in their first five years and the share price during that time was £5, then that user would receive two shares, equal to £10 / £5. The share price was fixed by determination of the Board. To receive the bonus, a referring user had to share their unique Referral Code of an existing user and then transacted on the platform. The shares awarded to the referring user was calculated based on a fixed price of the WeShop shares determined by the Company, so the referrer received pound spent by the new user * .01 / fixed price of shares. During its Pilot, the platform drove over £100m of sales and since then has driven approximately £5 million of sales as the Company’s focus has shifted towards listing in the U.S. WeShop Holdings Limited is a BVI Business Company limited by shares and incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. We were initially formed as Boanerges Limited. On November 17, 2021, Boanerges’ shareholders approved the acquisition of the business, assets and name of WeShop Limited and subsequent to the transaction closing, Boanerges was renamed to WeShop Holdings Limited. Our principal executive offices are located in Jersey, Channel Islands.
