🌟 Welcome to NearaNavi
We've Just Launched - Here's What That Means
NearaNavi is your local guide to what matters. As a community-first directory, we spotlight local gems by bringing visibility to home-based businesses, faith-friendly services, nonprofits, and ministries that are often overlooked.
Instead of relying on ratings or anonymous reviews, we help you get noticed through intentional features that matter — like clear category placement, searchable tags, spotlight opportunities, community connection prompts, and curated visibility on seasonal or local highlights.
Whether you run a boutique, food truck, salon, or church outreach, NearaNavi helps you get seen, supported, and shared — no complicated setup or website needed.
🙌 No website? No problem.
You can still show up online with a clean, easy-to-manage presence.
💛 Volunteer Opportunities Welcome
We support Arkansas’s LEARNS Act by helping families find trusted local ways to complete required student service hours through businesses, churches, and service organizations.
Be One of the First Businesses Featured on NearaNavi
We are launching a clean, local-first directory made for local businesses, and we are looking for Founding Businesses who want to stand out from the start.

This is a community-built directory — the more businesses that join, the sooner we can fully open the doors.
🪴 How NearaNavi Grows
NearaNavi is being built to feature locally owned, community-first businesses — not buried under ads or big-name competition. Right now, we’re in pre-launch and inviting small business owners to get listed early. You pick your tier, we build your listing, and once enough businesses join, we’ll open the platform to the public. Early members get top placement and special perks for coming in first.
🌿 About NearaNavi – Navigate What’s Near™
NearaNavi is a new kind of business directory — one that puts small, community-first businesses front and center. We're building a clean, welcoming space where shoppers can find businesses that align with their values. We're just getting started, and we're inviting local owners to join now and grow with us.
NearaNavi is Coming Soon — and Built for Small Business
This platform was created to support locally owned businesses by making it easier for people to discover and support them. But here’s the truth: NearaNavi only works if small business owners show up and get listed.
We’re in pre-launch, which means the public directory isn’t live yet — because we’re still actively gathering early listings. We’ve made it simple, affordable, and risk-free to join. Now we’re asking you to take a few minutes and claim your space.
The sooner small businesses join, the sooner this directory becomes the powerful tool it’s meant to be.

🪻Meet the Founder
I built NearaNavi because I was tired of not being able to find the businesses that actually mattered to me — the small, locally owned places doing real work, often without a real online presence.
I know what it feels like to build something from scratch, to pour your heart into a dream and still feel invisible. NearaNavi is my answer to that — a platform created by someone who understands the hustle, for the people doing it every day.
This isn’t about chasing trends or building another noisy marketplace. It’s about creating a clean, welcoming space where real businesses can finally be seen — not buried under big chains, ads, or algorithms.
We’re starting small, just like the businesses we serve. But we’re growing — and if you’re a small business owner who believes in showing up, in being part of something meaningful, in supporting your community and being supported in return — you belong here.
I hope you’ll join me. This platform only works if we build it together.
— Kelli Johnson, Founder of NearaNavi
