Trades firms

Roofers, contractors and installers

Polyshares' own deal list leans to trades: a general contractor and a solar company, alongside a marketing agency. Nyne's ads target dispatch, real estate, design and manufacturing records. A home services firm will find Polyshares' examples closer to its own business; whether those deals happened as described is not independently confirmed.3,15

Under 20 staff

For a firm below 20 employees

Nyne's site rules it out below 20 full-time W-2 staff. Polyshares sets no headcount floor, saying the length and texture of the record count for more, so it is the one of the two worth asking.6,7
