Across Vanuatu, business development is stronger than ever. Government departments, development partners, financial institutions, NGOs, and business support organisations continue to invest in training, mentoring, coaching, grants, and advisory services to help local businesses grow.
This work is incredibly important.
But there is one question every business owner should ask themselves:
“After all this investment in my business… can customers actually find me?”
Because building a better business is only half the journey.
The other half is making sure people know your business exists.
A Great Business That Nobody Can Find Is a Missed Opportunity
Many businesses invest significant time improving their products, learning new skills, registering their businesses, and delivering excellent customer service.
Yet many still struggle to attract new customers.
Not because their products aren’t good.
Not because their services aren’t valuable.
But simply because people don’t know they exist.
In today’s world, customers search online before making decisions. They want to know who sells a product, who provides a service, where a business is located, and whether other customers recommend them.
If your business isn’t visible online, there’s a good chance those customers will never find you.
Vanuatu Has Business Information—But It’s Not Easy to Access
There is no shortage of business information in Vanuatu.
The Department of Industry maintains records of businesses with Industry Permits and those producing certified Vanuatu Made products.
The Department of Agriculture is developing databases relating to agricultural producers.
The Department of Customs and Inland Revenue (DCIR) holds one of the country’s largest records of registered businesses.
Many NGOs, donor-funded projects, business associations, and financial institutions also maintain databases of the businesses they support.
These databases play an important role for government and programme administration.
However, they were never designed to help the public answer simple questions like:
- Who sells fresh local honey?
- Where can I find a carpenter?
- Which business installs Starlink?
- Who makes local handicrafts?
- Which company offers bookkeeping services?
For customers, the information is scattered across different organisations—or simply unavailable.
For businesses, this means lost opportunities every single day.
Introducing Bisnis Konek
That’s why Bisnis Konek was created.
Bisnis Konek is building a single online directory where people can easily discover businesses across Vanuatu.
Instead of relying on word of mouth or hoping customers find your Facebook page, your business can have a professional profile that makes it easier for customers to find, contact, and trust you.
Whether you are a sole trader, market vendor, farmer, manufacturer, retailer, consultant, tourism operator, or growing company, Bisnis Konek gives your business another doorway through which customers can discover you.

Your Bisnis Konek profile becomes your digital business presence.
You can showcase:

This means customers can quickly understand what you offer before they even contact you.
Let Your Customers Speak for You
One satisfied customer is powerful.
One hundred satisfied customers are even more powerful.
Every registered business on Bisnis Konek can download its own Business Review QR Code directly from its profile.
Display it at your shop, office, market stall, reception, vehicle, or service counter.
Customers simply scan the QR Code and leave a review.

Positive reviews increase confidence, encourage new customers, and demonstrate that your business consistently delivers quality service.

If your business appears, you’ve created an opportunity.
