Maintain your privacy: You’ll never have to give your personal mobile phone number to clients again! Receive business messages on the “Whatsapp for Business” app, and personal messages on your normal “Whatsapp” app. Maintain your work/life balance and set automated responses to calls/ messages so that customers still receive prompt responses outside of your working hours.

Set up your own Whatsapp store: With Whatsapp for Business, you’ll have access to 2 billion users and be able to setup your own business profile, display your catalogue of products and take orders directly through Whatsapp messenger.

Maintain Your Work/Life Balance

Many people mistakenly use their personal number on the “Whatsapp Business” app meaning they have to give out their personal number to customers and to the public. This can result in privacy issues, increased vulnerability to phishing scams, blurring of personal and professional boundaries, or simply an overload of communication for you as a business owner. With our easy-to-use Whatsapp business number generation service, Business Numbers Direct eliminates the need for multiple devices and is here to help your business succeed.
