BC Business Directory: Find Local Businesses Across BC
BC Locals is an independent directory of local businesses across British Columbia — from Vancouver and Surrey to Kelowna, Kamloops, Victoria and Prince George. Here is how to use it, and how to check any business before you hire.
Search by city, then by category
Pick your city on the cities page, then choose a category such as plumbers, dentists, mechanics or restaurants. Each page lists local businesses with their phone number, address and website, so you can call direct.
Five checks before you hire
- Licence and registration. Trades, health professionals and many services must be licensed in BC. Ask for the number and check it with the regulator.
- Insurance. Ask contractors for proof of liability insurance and, for workers, a WorkSafeBC clearance.
- A written quote. Scope, price, timeline and payment terms — before work starts.
- Reviews across more than one site. Look for patterns, not one angry or glowing review.
- A local address and phone. Businesses with a real local presence are easier to reach if something goes wrong.
