Who Can Join the Local First Directory?

  • Local Businesses: We welcome businesses that are physically located and primarily operate within the Hibiscus Coast community.
  • Privately Owned: The directory is designed for independent, privately owned businesses. We do not accept listings from national chains, franchises, or businesses primarily engaged in national advertising or marketing campaigns.
  • Non-profits and Community Organizations: We also welcome non-profit organizations and community groups that actively contribute to the well-being and vibrancy of the Hibiscus Coast.
  • Home-based Businesses: Home-based businesses are welcome to join, provided they offer unique products, specialized services, or contribute to the local community in a meaningful way, incredible service, quality and trasnact ethically.
  • Focus on Products, Services, and Experiences: We’re looking for listings that showcase unique products, specialized services, or memorable experiences to the local community.

We do not accept:

  • National chains or franchises
  • Businesses primarily focused on national advertising or marketing
  • Businesses located outside the Hibiscus Coast area

Please Note: All listings are subject to review to ensure they meet the directory’s criteria and contribute positively to the Local First community.

 

Local First is a curated collection of the best the Hibiscus Coast has to offer. We only partner with businesses that share our values: hard work, exceptional quality, and fair pricing. We’re building a community, not just a directory, so we take feedback seriously. If you’re not committed to providing a great experience, this might not be the right fit.
