Live Local. Trust Local. for businesses
A short phone-friendly guide to the directory, the free basic listing, the Founding 100 and the supervised youth digital-skills pathway.
How it helps
A clear local shopfront, without inflated promises
The directory is built around practical discovery and honest information — not guaranteed rankings, leads, sales or automatic verification.
Free basic listing
Add your business name, address and introduction, then submit it for human review.
Founding 100
The first hundred approved Bolton businesses receive permanent Founding 100 recognition and launch-community inclusion.
Trust comes from evidence
Verified badges are separate evidence checks with an expiry date. Payment never buys verification.

Community impact
Every real brief can become supervised learning
With consent and approval, young people can practise research, writing, photography, video, editing and digital marketing around real local business activity.
Optional paid services
Promotional services are separate from the free listing. Package prices are shown only after formal approval, and no paid service promises a ranking, a number of leads, sales or a Verified badge.
