Why Bedfordshire Business

The directory that actually knows your postcode.

Built for Bedfordshire — not Silicon Valley. A local-first alternative to generic maps and noisy community groups.

Hyperlocal, not generic

Every listing is tied to a real Bedfordshire town or village — from Luton to Wrestlingworth — never buried in a national database.

Community-vetted, not algorithm-buried

Real independent businesses, curated for the county. No paid ads jumping the queue, no irrelevant chains crowding the page.

Built to generate leads, not just visibility

Enquiry forms, deals and direct contact routes designed to turn browsers into paying customers — not just pins on a map.

Stronger together, not scattered

When we work together we create a stronger, more effective platform for independent businesses — meaningful exposure and better quality leads that benefit our whole community.

Questions? We've got answers.

What is the free Tapmate plate?
Pro listings include a free Google Review Plate and Premium listings include a free Multi-Link NFC Plate. Customers simply tap the plate with their phone to leave a review or visit your links — no app needed.
When will my Tapmate plate arrive?
Your free plate is emailed to the address on your account within 48 hours of your first paid payment.
Can I cancel or change plans?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect on your next billing date.
How does billing work?
Paid plans are billed monthly in GBP. You'll receive a receipt by email after each payment.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
You can cancel your paid plan at any time from your dashboard and you'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period. We don't tie you into long-term contracts. If you cancel within 14 days of your first payment and have not used your free Tapmate plate, contact us at info@bedfordshirebusiness.co.uk and we'll issue a full refund. Refunds are not available for subsequent billing periods once a new month has started.
Is the Basic listing really free forever?
Yes. Basic is a permanent listing — name, map pin, category and reviews — with no trial period and no card required. You can stay on Basic as long as you like.
How does the free month on Essentials work?
Your first month on Essentials is free. We take your payment details at signup and email you a reminder five days before the free month ends. Unless you cancel, the subscription continues at £9.99/month. If it ends without a valid payment method, your listing simply drops back to Basic — it stays live and searchable.
