Claim Your Business

Why a business might already be listed

Bronjoy maps thousands of service businesses from public directories to make the marketplace useful from day one — so your business may already have a profile with your name, address, and category filled in, even if you never signed up.

That profile is unclaimed until you verify you're actually the owner. This protects businesses from having their listing edited or claimed by someone else.

How to claim it

1. Find your business on Bronjoy and open its profile
2. Start a claim request with your name, your role (owner, manager, employee, or representative), and a short message
3. Upload at least one supporting document — a state registration certificate, tax certificate, or business license. You can attach up to 5 files (PDF, JPG, PNG, or WEBP)

POST /api/claims
Authorization: Bearer your-token
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

{
  "organization_slug": "downtown-barbershop",
  "applicant_role": "owner",
  "applicant_name": "Jane Smith",
  "applicant_phone": "+998901234567",
  "message": "I'm the owner of this barbershop, registered in 2023. Documents attached.",
  "documents": [
    { "file": "<registration-certificate.pdf>", "kind": "registration_cert" }
  ]
}

kind is one of registration_cert, tax_cert, license, lease, utility_bill, or other — at least one document must be a registration certificate, tax certificate, or business license.

We verify ownership with documents rather than a phone or email code — a text message to a number isn't proof you own the business.

After you apply

GET /api/claims
GET /api/claims/{claimRequest}

Track your claim's status. If reviewers need more from you, add additional documents to the same request:

POST /api/claims/{claimRequest}/documents

You can withdraw a claim you no longer want reviewed:

POST /api/claims/{claimRequest}/withdraw

Once approved

You become the owner of the organization — full access to the dashboard, staff, services, schedule, and settings. From there, follow Setting Up Your Business for the First Time to get the details right and go live.
