How it works
List your business
Register on this website, or ask for an agent to come to your shop. It takes a few minutes.
We verify it
We check every business before it shows here, usually within a few days. We may call you or visit.
Tell us who you need
Once verified, post a role in the app: the job, how many people, the monthly pay and where.
Meet checked people
We advertise the role, look through everyone who applies and send you the ones that fit.
What SMEHire does for your business
Hiring comes first. The rest is there when you need it, with short reads on hiring, staff and records.
Staff, found and checked
We advertise your roles and read every application. You only see people who fit, with a short note on each.
Your page on SMEHire
Your shop front, pictures of your work, what you sell and your Instagram or TikTok, in front of people looking for businesses like yours.
People who want to work with you
Customers, suppliers and job seekers who find you here can leave their name and number. You see them in the app.
Loans through partner banks
Answer the questions banks ask, then send a loan request. We pass it to our partner banks. The bank decides.
CAC registration and a website
Ask us for help registering your business name or getting a simple website. We tell you what it involves first.
Your page on SMEHire
You choose what goes on it, in the app. You can change it at any time.
What people see
- Business name and the kind of business
- What you sell or do
- Area and state of each branch
- Shop front photo and pictures of your work
- Instagram, TikTok and Facebook pages
- A phone number to call, if you choose to show one
- Open roles and the monthly pay
What stays private
- The number you sign in with (unless you show it)
- Your name as the owner
- The exact map pin of your shop
- Your bank and loan answers
Get ready for a bank loan
SMEHire works with partner banks that lend to small businesses. Before you ask, the app takes you through the same questions a bank asks, shows you what you already have, and what to fix.
Asking is free. It is not a loan offer: the bank makes the decision.
What banks look at
- Registered with CAC, and as what type
- A bank account in the business name
- A Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- Written records of sales and spending
- How long the business has been running
Questions owners ask
What does it cost?
Nothing. Listing your business, advertising your roles and checking the people who apply are all free.
Do I need to be registered with CAC?
No. Any real, working business can be listed. If you want to register with CAC, you can ask us for help in the app.
How long does verification take?
Usually a few days. We look at your details and shop front, and we may call you or send an agent. Your business shows on this website once it is verified.
I have more than one shop. Can I list them all?
Yes. Each branch is added and verified on its own, and you can post roles for each one.
Can people call me from my page?
Only if you want. In the app you can add a number to show on your page, and say if it is on WhatsApp. It can be different from the number you sign in with. When someone leaves their details instead, you see their number and decide whether to call.
Will I get a loan if I ask?
Not always. We pass your request and your answers to our partner banks, and the bank makes the decision.
What if I would rather someone came to my shop?
Use the visit form on this page. We call you to agree a day, and an SMEHire agent registers the business with you in person.
Get your business listed
Two ways, both free.
Register it yourself
A short form. We text a code to your phone and you choose a password. Then we verify the business.
