Free to list, free to search
The directory carries no listing fee and no paywall. Revenue comes from advisory retainers with larger member firms, not from access to the register itself.
About the register
We keep the record so the community doesn't have to keep asking around
Consulting Muslim started in 2019 as a spreadsheet passed between three business owners in Chicago who were tired of finding out about each other by accident. It's now a verified public directory and advisory network covering 38 states.
Verification before publication
Every listing is checked against public business registration records before it goes live. We remove listings that lapse or misrepresent ownership.
No pay-to-rank
Directory order is alphabetical within category, full stop. No business appears higher because it paid more.
Advisors are practitioners, not consultants selling advice
Everyone in the advisory network runs or has run a business. Sessions are peer guidance, not a sales funnel for a retainer.
