We have over 50 brands of energy and broadband providers onboard with 90% market coverage of the service providers. We generate £20-100 affiliate commission per deal switch. We signed a 3-years contract with TSB Bank in April 2021 and have access to 5,000,000 customers. We are onboarding 3 more clients this year.

			==Risks==
			As with any investment, investing in ApTap carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the key risks highlighted below, the degree of risk associated with an investment in ApTap is higher than in a company that's trading on a public market.
			===Early-stage investment===
			ApTap is at one of the earliest stages of the business lifecycle, and the failure rate of companies at that stage is usually much higher than those at a later stage.
			===Illiquid investment===
			The number of transactions in shares of private companies is usually significantly lower than in public companies, typically resulting in it taking longer to sell shares in private companies at a price that is at least equal to the price that the shares were bought at. Accordingly, the ApTap investment opportunity is considered to be higher risk than more liquid companies.

	As mentioned above all three co-founders are science graduates (Physics, Biology and Engineering) from Imperial College London. Two of the co-founders (Nadal Sarkytbayev and Isa Ibrahim) received the Graduate Entrepreneur Visa for 2 years to start ApTap. In the beginning, the idea was simple - we wanted to build an app to help people reduce their carbon footprint emission and be more environmentally friendly. There are 4 simple ways of doing that: 1) Swap meat for a plant- based diet 2) Choose to travel by bicycle, PT or electric cars 3) Buy eco-friendly goods 4) Switch a Renewable Energy Providers Although changing your habits can be difficult, switching your energy provider to a green supplier is the simplest way of doing good environment.
