ABOUT THE DIRECTORY
1. What is Her Business Listings Directory?
Her Business Listings Directory is a curated online directory showcasing women-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals from around the world. Our goal is to help women increase their visibility, credibility, and connections while promoting products and services created or led by women.
2. Who can list their business?
Any business or organization that is at least 51% woman-owned or woman-operated qualifies for a listing.
We also welcome listings from women professionals, freelancers, consultants, and service providers.

While having a website is helpful, it’s not required. You can list your social media pages, online shop, or contact information instead.
4. Can non-women-owned businesses be listed?
Our directory is designed to highlight women-owned and women-led businesses.
However, male-owned or co-owned businesses that actively support women in business (for example, through partnerships, programs, or services for women) may inquire about listing options.
5. How do I add my business?
You can submit your business listing directly through our website at:
