FAQ Section

Right now business listings are free as we are trying to populate our directory. Once our directory goes live we will keep it free for a while and then we will charge a one time registration fee of $20. This registration fee will help with our marketing efforts.

We encourage small businesses to fill out their own information as we want to build a directory to support them. We also want to give them the option to decide where their business will appear on the web and allow them to opt out if they so choose.

The business directory will appear once we have at least 10 businesses registered and we will update the directory regularly.

Please allow 24 - 48 hours for our team to review your listing before we publish it.
