Built in Ghana. Built for Africa.
Hwehw3 (Twi for "to seek") is Ghana's local business directory — giving every salon, mechanic, caterer, and corner shop the online presence they deserve.
Millions of businesses.
Almost none of them online.
Ghana has over 2.5 million registered SMEs — and an estimated 50 million informal micro-businesses across West Africa. They cut your hair, fix your car, cater your events, and make the fabric you wear.
But if you're new to a neighbourhood, or trying to find a specific service, your only options are word of mouth, a faded roadside banner, or luck.
We built Hwehw3 to change that. One directory. Every category. Contact via WhatsApp in one tap.
“I have been doing nails for twelve years. Nobody outside my street knew I existed. Hwehw3 changed that in a weekend.”
Every small business in West Africa deserves a digital presence — starting with Ghana.
We believe the informal sector is not informal at all — it's the backbone of African economies. It just needs the right tools.
Built for how Ghana actually works
WhatsApp is the CTA
No booking forms, no email threads. Every listing connects you to the business owner directly on WhatsApp — the way Ghana already communicates.
Built for West Africa
No fixed address required — we capture landmarks instead. Paystack for payments. Local knowledge baked into every design decision.
How we got here
Founded in Accra
A small team frustrated by the impossible task of finding a good mechanic in East Legon. We decided to build the thing we wished existed.
