How BizList works
Anything concerning life. Find am for BizList. From Yaba to the World. 99% FREE.
How it works
Three steps. No fees to join, no fees to post, no fees to chat.
Choose Country → State → City
Start in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, UK, US, Canada or UAE. Drill down to your state and area. Every card shows the flag, state and city so you always know where a deal sits.
Chat Direct
Talk straight to the artisan, vendor or landlord. No agent in the middle. No 'call for price'. Real time chat, real humans, real response times.
Pay via BizList Safe
Recommended, never forced. Your money sits in BizList Safe and is released after delivery. Prefer to pay outside? You can — we just show you the honest risk first.
Anything concerning life
Nine categories. Post free in any of them. Max 3 active per category.
Trust, on your terms
You never have to pay to use BizList. These are the optional extras people ask for.
Verified — ₦500 now
Face + NIN via Prembly for Nigeria and Africa. Confidence above 90% earns the Face + NIN Verified badge. We store only a token, the last 4 digits and the confidence score — never your photo or ID image.
Later, global passports and driver licences cost $2 via Persona (switch on later).
Boost — ₦500 / 7 days
Strictly 7 days. No 24-hour option, no tricks. Your listing sits at the top of your state for a whole week. Later $2 globally.
Boost a listingBizList Safe — 3% escrow
Recommended, never forced. Money is held and released after delivery. Fee is 3%, capped at ₦5,000 or $10. Choose to pay outside? We warn you clearly and mark the deal at your own risk.
The rules we will not break
Posting is 99% FREE, forever
There is no pay-to-post anywhere in BizList. The database itself forbids a listing from being anything other than free (is_free = trueis a constraint, not a preference).
Max 3 active listings per category
This stops spam without charging anyone money. Hit the limit? Repost an older listing free, or wait for one to expire.
Every listing expires after 30 days
After 30 days it drops out of the feed. One click reposts it free, with a fresh 30 days.
Ranking never uses money
Position = freshness + completeness + your response time. Price and payment are deliberately excluded from the ranking formula.
One account, many businesses
You are a client and a business at once. Create a page for each business you run — Stanley’s Plumbing, Stanley Homes, Stanley’s Wigs — all under one login.
Escrow is encouraged, never forced
BizList Safe protects both sides at 3%. You may choose to pay outside; we show you the honest risk first and mark the deal as outside risk.
