Business Listing Information
Information intentionally submitted for publication—such as a business name, phone number, website, address, social media links, hours, descriptions, and business images—may be displayed publicly as part of the directory.
A business's Customer Inquiry Email is not displayed publicly and is used internally to route inquiries when applicable.

- Featured Business views and clicks;

We intentionally keep our promotional analytics simple and do not attempt to build detailed personal advertising profiles of visitors.
Cookies & Sessions
The website may use cookies or similar browser storage when necessary for features such as:

Business Claims & Reports
Information submitted when claiming or reporting a business is used for administrative review.
Submitting a claim does not automatically transfer ownership or management rights to a listing. Arkansas Biz Connection may request additional information before assigning a listing to a Business Owner account.
