Acceptable Listings

• Events, side gigs, services, nonprofits, resources, and micro/small businesses located within the zip code and about a mile beyond. You can create a listing for your side gig or service even if it’s not a registered business, as long as it follows the laws.
• A national chain or business that’s headquartered within the listed zip code.
• Other national chains CAN advertise under “donations needed” categories if they’re fundraising for a local organization.
• Real estate agents/Open houses/Insurance Agents/MLMs
• City Council, County, NDAs (Neighborhood District Association) etc.
• National/Local social and service membership organizations/clubs.
• Small Farms can advertise in zip codes within a 50 mile radius. (We want to support as many local small farmers as possible!)
• Neutrally moderated local political/election debate events open to all party candidates or primary candidates.

NOT Acceptable Listings

• We’re keeping it small! Big Business has lots of opportunities for advertising. We’re focused on supporting micro/small businesses, side gigs, nonprofits, community events and services.
• National franchises or businesses with more than 10 locations will not be approved.
• Listings outside of the selected zip code and about a mile will not be approved.
• Follow the law. Not all listings are required to be registered “businesses” (think babysitter). Be transparent and honest if you’re a registered business or not, and what insurance and licensing etc. you have. Your listing will be removed if it’s reported for breaking these rules.

Non profits & charity resources can advertise for free on the directory

Examples:

• AA/NA, DV, NAMI
• Resume building class
• Free intro to small business
• Food boxes
• Free clothing/laundry events
• Emergency shelter
• Organizing resources during states of emergency
