How Near-U works

From a problem in your house to a verified pro at your door — three steps.

01

Describe what you need

Tell us the problem in plain English or Pidgin. Our AI matches you to the right trade and shows verified pros near you.

02

Book and pay safely

Pick a pro, agree the price, and pay into escrow. Funds are held by Near-U — not released until you confirm the job is done.

03

Get the job done

The pro arrives, does the work, you confirm. If anything goes wrong, you open a dispute and we mediate — your money is protected the whole time.

What clients and pros say

Real Near-U bookings, in their own words.

My generator died mid-service on a Saturday. Booked a Near-U gen tech at 11am — he was at the restaurant by 1, parts replaced by 3. We didn't lose the dinner crowd.

Restaurant owner · Abuja

I had three days to find a tailor for my mum's 60th. Near-U matched me with a verified pro in Ikeja — outfit was ready Friday morning. My mother cried. I cried.

I went from sewing for my street to taking orders from Lagos and Port Harcourt. Near-U gave my workshop a real customer base — I just bought my second machine.

We use cookies to make Near-U work

Some are essential (your login, your basket of bookings). Others — analytics and marketing — only run if you say yes. Read our privacy policy for the full story.

Privacy Preference Center

When you visit Near-U, we may store small files (cookies) on your device. Some are needed to make the site work — like keeping you signed in. Others are optional and help us understand what's working or show you Near-U on other sites. You decide which optional ones run, and you can change your mind any time from the footer of any page.

Manage your preferences

These cookies are required for Near-U to work. They keep you signed in, hold your CSRF security token, remember the consent choice you're making right now, and let the site serve pages in the right language. The site can't run without them, so they can't be switched off.

Remember the small things that make the site feel like yours — your shared GPS location for distance checks, the tab you last opened in your account page, recent search queries, and which providers you've viewed. The site still works without these, but you'll have to share your location again on every visit.

Help us see how Near-U is being used — which pages people visit, which searches succeed, where errors happen. All data is anonymous and aggregated. We use this to fix bugs and improve flows that confuse people. Currently includes: Google Analytics (when enabled).

Let us show you Near-U adverts on other sites (Facebook, Instagram, Google) and measure whether those adverts brought you back. We may also use these to retarget you if you started a booking but didn't finish. Currently includes: Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking (when enabled).
