Questions

What does it cost?

Nothing, for you or your vendors. We grow when more Sabah businesses are on Sabah Hub, so a full event page helps us too.

Do you need our vendor list?

No. You share our link with your vendors and each one chooses to join. Their details stay theirs, which keeps things simple under PDPA.

What if a vendor isn't ready?

They can join any time, before or after the event. The page updates on its own.

Who runs Sabah Hub?

First Step Creatives (SSM 003519412-V), a Malaysian company. Sabah Business Hub is a directory of real, verified Sabah businesses.
