Instant Business Records are optional, ready-to-import business listings you can use to quickly pre-populate your directory. They’re great if you want your site to look established on day one — especially for local business directories.

Here’s how they work:

📇 What they are
A set of pre-filled business profiles (name, address, phone, etc.) you can import into your site.

🧾 One-time, not recurring
They are not a subscription. Each AppSumo tier includes a one-time bundle of Instant Business Records you can use whenever you’re ready.

🚀 Why they’re helpful
If your site focuses on businesses, you can instantly add listings by searching by category + location and selecting the ones you want. These imported records become normal members/listings inside your site.

📥 Totally optional
If your site is not a business directory, you can simply ignore this feature — many users never use it.
