Got questions?

Is it really free to list my business? +

Yes — 100% free, forever. There is no cost to create or maintain your business listing on Black Business Matters. We believe access to visibility should never be a financial barrier for Black entrepreneurs.

How do you verify Black-owned businesses? +

Our team manually reviews every submission. We look at your business information, social media, and any supporting documents. We trust our community and operate on a good-faith model — fraudulent listings are removed immediately if reported.

How long does approval take? +

We review all submissions within 24 hours on business days. Most listings are approved and live within the same day. You'll receive an email confirmation once your listing goes live.
