At BIA, we’d like to offer our bilingual content marketing services to as many UK-based businesses as possible. But unfortunately, due to the nature of our brand positioning across Arabic-speaking users, there are some business activities and industries we can’t promote, in addition to some businesses that do not meet the minimum requirements to securely sell online to the BIA users.
We build our brand around promoting carefully verified UK-based businesses only, we create unshakable buyer’s trust by promoting content, products and services posted by our verified UK-based members
So before you apply for a membership account, we thought it would be useful to see a summary of who we can and can’t support. We’ve tried to be as straightforward as possible and do our best to update this list as often as possible.
