About
A register, not a
list of adverts.
BizHub28 holds 612,483 South African businesses. What we sell is not exposure — it is the customer’s phone call, and the promise that it goes to one business who actually wants the work.
Why it exists
Every directory hands you a list and wishes you luck.
You need a plumber. You search, you get thirty names, you phone six. Four do not answer. One says he will call back. One quotes double because he is busy. Meanwhile six plumbers who badly wanted that job never knew you were looking.
That is broken at both ends, and it is broken the same way in every town in this country. BizHub28 works in the other direction: you describe the job once, and the business comes to you.
What we actually do
One trade. One zone. One phone.
Who is behind it
Built in Bloemfontein.
BizHub28 is run from Bloemfontein by Brian Ferreira. It is not a franchise of an overseas directory and it is not a lead-farm reselling the same enquiry to five companies at once. It was built here, for South African trades, by somebody who has spent his working life around small businesses and knows exactly how a missed phone call costs a week’s wages.
That is also why the rules are the way they are. A zone is never sold twice. A lead goes to one phone. A member who ignores his customers loses his territory. Those are not features — they are the whole product.
The seal
What verified actually means.
The gold seal on a listing is not decoration and it is not bought with an advert. It means a real person claimed that business, paid for it, and stands behind the details on the card. An unclaimed entry has no owner, no photographs and no seal — and a customer can tell the difference at a glance.
We will never put a stock photograph on a business that has not claimed itself. The moment we did that, the seal would stop meaning anything.

You are probably in the register already. Find your entry, claim it, and put the seal on it.
