-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> I made a survey for users of the project to ask questions, and provide Baileys valuable insights regarding its users. I will be publishing the results of this form (after filtering) as well so we can study and understand where we need to work.
-> 
-> The survey is anonymous and requires no personal info at all. You are required to sign-in with Google to keep responses to one person. You are able to edit your response after you submit. The deadline for this form is September 30, 2025.
-> 
-> I encourage you to put the effort, all it takes is 5-10 minutes and you get to ask me any questions you have.

 # Important Note
 This is a temporary README.md, the new guide is in development and will this file will be replaced with .github/README.md (already a default on GitHub).
 
 New guide link: https://baileys.wiki
 
+# Get Support
+
+If you'd like business to enterprise-level support from Rajeh, the current maintainer of Baileys, you can book a video chat. Book a 1 hour time slot by contacting him on Discord or pre-ordering [here](https://purpshell.dev/book). The earlier you pre-order the better, as his time slots usually fill up very quickly. He offers immense value per hour and will answer all your questions before the time runs out.
+
+If you are a business, we encourage you to contribute back to the high development costs of the project and to feed the maintainers who dump tens of hours a week on this. You can do so by booking meetings or sponsoring below. All support, even in bona fide / contribution hours, is welcome by businesses of all sizes. This is not condoning or endorsing businesses to use the library. See the Disclaimer below.
