One paragraph

UA Near is a free, independent directory of Ukrainian and Ukrainian-speaking businesses, professionals and services abroad. After a move, a person has to find a doctor, a hairdresser, an accountant or a tradesperson all over again — and usually asks in a group chat, where the answer is buried under a hundred other messages within days. UA Near gathers those answers in one place: pick a city and a category and you see contact details, opening hours, the languages spoken and reviews from people who have been there already. Browsing needs no account. It is free for the people searching and for the business owners alike: there is no advertising, and a place in the results cannot be bought. A person reviews every listing before it is published.

Full description

UA Near is a free, independent directory of Ukrainian and Ukrainian-speaking businesses, professionals and services abroad. It is read by Ukrainians who live, work or are staying outside Ukraine and want somewhere they will be understood in their own language.

The directory is built by city and by category: every category in every city has a page of its own — “Dentists in Bratislava”, “Accountants in Bratislava” — with contact details, opening hours, the languages spoken, prices where the owner has published them, and reviews. Beside the directory we keep a library of practical guides, a calendar of events, a news feed and free calculators.

Some listings are added by the owners themselves; the rest we find in public sources. A person reviews every one of them before it is published. The marks a listing can carry — Verified, the quality mark, Ukrainian-owned, Ukrainian spoken — each mean a different thing, and none of them is for sale: there is no advertising on the site, and a place in the results cannot be bought.

The project is independent: there is no network, agency or organisation behind it deciding who is shown here. Who runs the site and who answers for its content is on the legal notice at uanear.com/impressum.

My UA Near keeps private lists of businesses and updates from followed cities, businesses and organizers. Discovery remains available without an account.

How the name is written

UA Near

The official spelling is UA Near — two words, with UA capitalised. UANear, UAnear and plain uanear.com all lead here and we answer to them, but in text we ask you to write UA Near: it is easier to read and easier to search for. The site's address is uanear.com.
