SignVideo has launched the UK’s first Deaf British Sign Language (BSL) Business Directory on their app, with a key difference.
The directory offers Deaf BSL entrepreneurs – free of charge – the opportunity to attract more Deaf BSL customers to their services through a simple click.
Deaf entrepreneurs and tradespeople are now able to list their business on the Signvideo app for free, allowing Deaf people to click-to-call them directly, in BSL, using the SignVideo service.
Business owners do not have to register or hold a paid SignVideo account. All calls are free of charge and their Deaf BSL customers also do not need a SignVideo account to use the service.
The new BSL Business Directory aims to promote and build a new mindset that focuses on the development of a BSL “Ecosystem” concept within the Deaf BSL community.
Jeff McWhinney, Founder and Chairman of SignVideo said:
“We at SignVideo passionately believe in the empowerment of Deaf BSL community. With this in mind, I am proud to announce that SignVideo has enhanced further our app to start the ball rolling on the Deaf BSL ecosystem space by launching a free Business Directory connecting Deaf people who use BSL and those who have their own businesses or run a trade service. If you are looking for a painter, a graphic designer, a gardener, a photographer or a builder, for example, you can just search the SignVideo BSL Business Directory on our app and click to call them!”
Deaf tradespeople and/or business owners wishing to register their business on the SignVideo app BSL Business Directory are welcome to add themselves by registering here or visiting www.signvideo.co.uk/business-directory.
Download the SignVideo app by searching “SignVideo” on the Apple or Play app store or from here.

Hi Confused,. I am happy to confirm that we are working on a partnership with Deafscope as we both recognise that there’s no point in duplication, we will support the development of Deafscope and we see it as a sign of great things to come through true synergy, the Deaf Way! Watch this space.
