Connect directly
Click any listing to see full details. Click the enquire button to reveal the contact email address — it opens a pre-filled message so you can reach the listing owner directly. No middleman, no fees, no sign-up required.

List for free
Submitting a listing takes under two minutes. Fill in the form, submit, and our team will review it within 48 hours. Once approved it goes live immediately. Listing is completely free and will always remain free.

Claim your listing
If your business is already in our directory, you can claim it. Submit your name and email, verify via a link we send you, and our admin team will review the claim. Approved claims earn a gold verified badge on your listing.

FAQ
Common questions
Is HagerLand really free?
Yes — completely free. Listing your business, job, housing, or event costs nothing. There are no premium tiers, no featured placement fees, and no subscriptions. The platform is funded by the community, for the community.
How long does review take?
We aim to review every submission within 48 hours. In practice most listings are reviewed the same day. You will receive an email confirmation when your listing goes live.
What gets rejected?
Listings that are not connected to the Ethiopian community, that contain misleading information, or that violate our terms of use will be declined. Our team reviews every submission individually.
What is the gold verified badge?
The gold Verified badge appears on business listings that have been claimed and approved by our admin team. It signals that the business owner has confirmed the listing details are accurate. Verification is always done by a human — never automated.
Can I edit my listing after it goes live?
Claim your business listing to get the ability to keep your details up to date. For other sections, contact us at team@hagerland.com and we will update it for you.
Is HagerLand only for UK businesses?
No — HagerLand is global. We welcome verified community businesses, community groups, and listings from anywhere in the world. Our current focus is the UK diaspora but the platform is open to all.
