That's correct - I have just tried to add my german small business. No chance. Why would they limit it to the US? Google's doing the exact same thing without restrictions.

For a while I hoped Apple would let go of their US-centric thinking, but it seems I was wrong.

Edit: I just remembered that with Google Maps, they sent me a postal letter with a code to confirm the address. Maybe they haven't set that up yet, but my point still stands.

Can anyone confirm if the confirmation process involves a postal letter?
