Questions about Enterprise League
What is Enterprise League?
Enterprise League is a B2B company directory built for small businesses and startups that want to be found. Create a public company profile, message potential clients and partners directly, and see who’s engaging with your business: no middlemen, no gatekeeping.
Is Enterprise League free to use?
Yes. Listing your company, being found in the directory, messaging other businesses, adding your products and services, and applying for the Business Awards are all free. The only paid add-ons are the optional verification badge and Boost, and the platform works fully without either.
How do I create a company profile?
Sign up and fill in your company details: what you do, what you sell, and who you serve. It takes a few minutes and goes live as a public, structured profile as soon as you’re done.
Who can see my profile?
Your profile is public by default, with no login wall, so it’s visible to buyers browsing the directory, to search engines, and to AI assistants that cite business sources.
Can I update my profile after publishing it?
Yes, at any time. Edit your details, add new products or services, or change your categories whenever your business changes. Updates go live immediately.
What does the verification badge do?
The verification badge on your profile shows that Enterprise League checked the company’s details. Paying carries it into the directory, search results, product pages and company cards. We have not judged your company’s quality or finances, and we are not claiming it is currently trading. It never affects your position in search results.
