Direct peers

• Screwfix: UK-based online-first trade and DIY tools retailer operating at scale with a comparable catalog of power tools, garden equipment, and construction supplies. Useful international benchmark for the pure-play online tools retailer model Begin.com is pursuing.
• Allo: Major Ukrainian multi-category online and offline retailer specializing in electronics, household appliances, and home goods. Overlaps with Begin.com on household appliances and consumer electronics adjacent categories for the same Ukrainian buyer base.
• Epicentr: Ukraine's largest home improvement and DIY retailer with a nationwide chain of mega-stores and a strong online storefront. Sells overlapping categories (tools, garden equipment, construction machinery, household appliances) and competes head-on for both DIY and professional buyers in the same geography.
• Toolstation: European trade and DIY tools retailer (UK/Netherlands) selling power tools, hardware, and garden equipment through an online-led model. Strong international comparable in business model, category mix, and customer segments.
• 27.ua: Ukrainian online retailer carrying a broad assortment of household goods, tools, and appliances. Closely comparable in business model as an inventory-led e-commerce store targeting Ukrainian consumers with similar general-merchandise breadth.
• Foxtrot: Ukrainian omnichannel retailer of electronics, appliances, and home goods. Comparable in serving Ukrainian consumers across both DIY-adjacent household equipment and major appliances with a similar mid-market price positioning.

Others

• Prom.ua: The Ukrainian e-commerce marketplace platform on which Begin.com's storefront is hosted. Indirectly comparable as the underlying infrastructure provider — not a competitor but a critical business dependency and channel partner.
• OLX Ukraine: Leading Ukrainian horizontal classifieds marketplace where individuals and small sellers list tools, garden equipment, and household goods. Represents a fragmented, lower-fidelity alternative channel competing for the same end-customer demand.

Broad incumbents

• Leroy Merlin Ukraine: International home improvement chain operating in Ukraine with DIY and pro contractor focus. Overlaps significantly in power tools, garden equipment, and construction supplies, but at much larger scale and with omnichannel retail footprint.
• Rozetka.ua: Ukraine's largest online marketplace and retailer across electronics, appliances, tools, and household goods. Competes for the same Ukrainian consumer wallet and offers overlapping household appliance and power tool categories at massive scale.
