Licensing

We make sure that our service professional businesses carry any applicable state-level trade licensing.

Criminal Records Search

We use a third-party vendor to perform criminal background checks on business owners/principals before they join our trusted network.

Legal Search for Civil Judgments 

We use a third-party vendor to ensure that the business owners/principals and/or businesses do not have current civil judgments against them.

Identity Verification

We verify the business owner/principal’s social security number to confirm their identity. This is mainly applicable to small businesses.
