Economic Impact
See how much local wealth leaves and how much ReferMe helps keep in the community.
What Is Economic Leakage
Economic leakage describes the flow of money earned within a community that leaves before it can recirculate. This often happens through outside ownership, national platforms, or external service providers. It represents the missed opportunity for local growth, investment, and economic mobility.
When money flows out of your community, it takes jobs, opportunities, and growth potential with it.

About the Leakage Report
The Leakage Report highlights how much money slips away from communities each year when local spending goes to outside businesses. It helps visualize the market opportunity and shows how much of that value can stay in the community through ReferMe's revenue share business model.
