Iranian Business Directory in San Francisco

Persian Business Directory in San Francisco

The Iranian Business Directory in San Francisco is a free listing service for Iranian and Persian-owned businesses in the city and the Bay Area. Basic listings cost nothing and stay live for a year.

This page explains how the directory works and how to add your business. If you are looking for a business rather than listing one, go to Iranian businesses in San Francisco that is where the listings are.

The directory covers San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area — Marin County, the Peninsula down through San Mateo, and the East Bay.

Businesses are grouped by category: restaurants and bakeries, doctors and dentists, lawyers and realtors, rug stores, Persian markets, beauty and spas, automotive, insurance, finance, education, and home services.

Each category and each area has its own page. Because the Bay Area’s Iranian community is spread across the region rather than concentrated in one neighborhood, that matters more here than in most cities.

What a listing includes

Every listing carries the business name, category, full address, phone number, opening hours, and website. Paid plans add a photo gallery, a longer description, and featured placement.

Business owners manage their own listing through a dashboard updating hours, swapping photos, correcting details, or removing the listing entirely.

How the review works

Every submission is read by a person before publishing. We check that the business exists, that the contact details work, and that the category fits.

We do not verify professional licenses, credentials, or insurance. A listing means the business is real and reachable, not that anyone has vetted its qualifications. For a doctor, lawyer, or contractor, that check remains yours.

We say this plainly because a directory that implies more than it does is worse than no directory.

What it costs

Basic listings are free, with no time limit and no card required.

Paid plans start at $49 a year and add multiple listings, featured placement, photo galleries, and priority in category pages. Full details are on the submit listing page.

Beyond the listing

IBC publishes a monthly Persian-language magazine covering business profiles, book reviews, and economic reporting. Businesses in the directory can be featured profiles are editorial, not paid placement.

There is also a Telegram group for Iranians across the US where members share businesses and opportunities directly.
