We invoice in advance because we frequently receive submissions from agencies—often based overseas—that have no intention of paying. The administrative burden of chasing payments and later removing unpaid listings is time-consuming.

This enables businesses to monitor the listing progress after a few months.

We offer two membership options: an annual membership for £100, or a monthly membership at £8.33 per month. Monthly payments are only available via Direct Debit.

To remove your business listing, please email us at support@ukbusinessportal.co.uk.
