The WhatsApp Business problem

Your applicants and vendors want to message you on WhatsApp. But WhatsApp Business needs a second number - and you do not want a second handset.

WhatsApp has become the communication channel of choice for estate agency clients. WhatsApp Business adds the features that make it professional - business profile, catalogue, automated replies, and statistics. But it requires a separate phone number, which most agents resist because of the cost and hassle of a second device.

Applicants message your personal WhatsApp and you have no separation between work and personal communications

When clients have your personal number, work never stops. You lose the ability to manage your own availability and your personal life is permanently invaded by property enquiries.

You cannot use WhatsApp Business features without a second number

WhatsApp Business offers automated replies, business hours messages, quick replies, and a business profile - all of which make your agency look more professional and reduce your response workload. But they require a separate number to access.

A second handset is expensive and inconvenient

Carrying two phones is a management burden. A second contract is an unnecessary cost. Your Business Number solves the second-number requirement without either.

Competitors using WhatsApp Business professionally are winning the client communication race

Applicants who message an agent and receive an instant automated reply are more likely to book viewings. Those who get silence or a personal-looking response are less confident. Professionalism in messaging converts to more viewings booked.

How Your Business Number works

Three steps to a professional WhatsApp Business presence on your existing phone.

Your Business Number provides a virtual UK phone number that you use exclusively for WhatsApp Business activation. No SIM card, no second handset.

1

Virtual second number

A UK virtual number delivered to your existing smartphone. The number is used to verify your WhatsApp Business account - it receives the verification code that WhatsApp sends to activate the account.

2

WhatsApp Business activation

Once you have the number, you activate WhatsApp Business using it as the business number. Your personal WhatsApp remains unchanged on your personal number. Both run on the same phone.

3

Business profile setup

Set up your estate agency business profile on WhatsApp - business name, address, website, business hours, and a description. Clients see a professional business account, not a personal number.

4

Automated messaging tools

WhatsApp Business enables automated away messages, greeting messages, and quick reply shortcuts. Set up instant responses to common enquiries so no applicant message goes unanswered outside office hours.

5

Contact separation

Your personal contacts continue to use your personal WhatsApp. Professional contacts use your business number. The two are completely separate, giving you genuine work-life separation on a single device.

6

Simple monthly subscription

A straightforward monthly subscription with no contracts and no setup fees. The number works as long as you subscribe and is not tied to a handset or a SIM card.

Getting your WhatsApp Business number live

Three steps to professional WhatsApp messaging on your existing phone.

The entire setup process takes under fifteen minutes from sign-up to first WhatsApp Business message received.

1

Choose and confirm your number

Sign up to Your Business Number and choose a virtual UK number. Confirmation takes a few minutes and the number is immediately active.

2

Use the number to activate WhatsApp Business

Download WhatsApp Business from the App Store or Google Play. Enter your Your Business Number virtual number as the business number. WhatsApp sends a verification code to the number, which is forwarded to you.

3

Set up your business profile and start messaging

Complete your WhatsApp Business profile with your agency name, hours, and website. Set up automated replies. You are now reachable on a professional WhatsApp Business number, on the phone you already carry.

4

Tell clients your business WhatsApp number

Add the number to your website, email signature, and business cards. Every client now has a professional WhatsApp contact that is separate from your personal number.

5

Manage and maintain

Your subscription continues monthly. You can cancel at any time. The number and your WhatsApp Business account remain live as long as the subscription is active.

Frequently asked questions

What agents ask before getting started.

Do I need a second handset or SIM card?
No. Your Business Number is a virtual number that lives in the cloud. You receive the WhatsApp verification code via the Your Business Number service - no SIM, no second phone required.
Can I have WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on the same phone?
Yes. WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business are two separate apps. You can run both simultaneously on the same phone with different numbers - your personal WhatsApp on your personal number, WhatsApp Business on your Your Business Number virtual number.
What happens to my WhatsApp Business account if I cancel the subscription?
If you cancel your Your Business Number subscription, the virtual number ceases. Your WhatsApp Business account would need a new number to remain active. Your conversation history stays in the app unless you delete it.
Is this legal and does it comply with WhatsApp's terms of service?
Yes. WhatsApp Business allows any valid phone number, including virtual numbers, for verification. Your Business Number provides a compliant virtual UK number for this purpose.
Can I use this for multiple staff members in my agency?
Yes. Each staff member who needs WhatsApp Business can subscribe to their own Your Business Number. Each gets a separate virtual number and a separate WhatsApp Business account.
How do I access the Kerfuffle member deal?
Book via the Calendly link on this page. Your Kerfuffle AM will connect you with Your Business Number.
