All categories are available in Douala and Yaoundé. More being added.

Each layer addresses a specific way home service transactions fail. Together, they make bad outcomes structurally rare — not just unlikely.
Every professional is verified in person — national ID, home address, judicial record, and a professional guarantor on file. Zero anonymous vendors.
Ratings come only from real, completed, paid jobs. No self-submitted reviews. A professional's Lianka record is impossible to fake.
Your payment is held by Lianka until you confirm the work is done right. A no-show costs the professional their security deposit and 30 days off the platform.
Top performers earn the "Lianka Certified" badge — unlocking premium clients and higher-value jobs. Good behavior is socially rewarded, not just financially safe.
For renovation and construction jobs, we track materials from the agreed specification to the actual installation — eliminating the risk of cheaper substitutions without your knowledge.
Every step is designed to protect you — and to hold professionals accountable.
Tell us the service, location, and timeline. We scope it and produce a written Statement of Work — agreed by both parties before anything starts.
Lianka assigns a verified professional. Their identity, judicial record, and full review history are on file. No surprises, no unknowns.
You pay upfront via secure digital payment. Funds are held by Lianka — the professional is notified but receives nothing until you confirm.
The professional delivers against the agreed scope. High-value jobs get a Lianka Controller who physically inspects each phase before sign-off.
You send confirmation. The professional receives 80–85% of the agreed fee within 24 hours. Your review becomes part of their permanent record.

No-show protection: A professional who doesn't appear forfeits their security deposit and is suspended for 30 days. Three confirmed violations mean permanent removal. All costs are agreed in writing before work starts — no hidden fees, ever.
No more navigating WhatsApp groups and hoping for the best. One platform where every professional is verified and your payment is protected until you say the job is done.
Stéphane is a plumber with 10 years of experience and no digital presence. Lianka gives professionals like him a verified portfolio, guaranteed payment, and consistent access to quality clients.
50 to 80% of the effort in any home service project in Cameroon is spent managing trust — not the actual work. Lianka closes the three gaps that cause this.
Vendors can be effectively anonymous. Anonymity breaks the link between behavior today and reputation tomorrow.
When a vendor ghosts a client, that information stays in one WhatsApp group. Bad actors face no lasting record.
Without enforcement, every transaction is a calculation where cutting corners often makes economic sense. Lianka changes that math.
"A traveler in China asked a cab driver to deliver luggage to a hotel — unaccompanied. The driver did exactly that, without incident. The same scenario would feel impossible in Cameroon. But the difference isn't culture. It's systems."
