Your listing is reviewed first, then published.
Business listings never expire. There will never come a time when any kind of minimum fee or annual fee or any kind of scheme is implemented to force you to pay anything to list your business at BahamaZine.
However, if you have a PREMIUM or FEATURED listing, then it will remain in that mode only for whatever time your package allows. Packages are prepaid. There is a small grace period of a few days to allow for renewal. Packages must be prepaid. Beyond the grace period your listing will not be deleted, but it will simply return to its “normal” format. At that time, certain “premium” fields will no longer be visible to your clients.
BahamaZine business listings help locals and visitors find you by island + category (for example: New Providence → Restaurants). You can start with a simple free listing, or choose a Premium listing for higher visibility and a more detailed presentation. Users can also use the search box to find your business by name or keywords (like services or features) included in your listing.

* Agent verification
Only pay an agent that appears on our Agent Listing. Agents do not ask for your website password, and they must provide a receipt for every payment. You may ask him/her to show ID to confirm the information on our agent listing page.
* Important notes
- Always keep your receipt as proof of payment.
- If you paid and don’t see your Premium upgrade within 48 hours,message us with your Business Name + receipt details. This would be unusual.
