VERIFIED LISTINGS

Buy With Confidence. Verified Means Verified.

When you see the Verified Listing badge, the business behind it has real documentation on file. We check core legal and registration documents so you can spend less time wondering and more time evaluating.

What Makes a Listing Verified

1

Sellers Submit Documentation

When creating a listing, sellers can provide key business documents — like their EIN, business license, or Certificate of Good Standing — along with supporting details like BBB profiles and reviews.

2

We Check the Essentials

A listing qualifies once it has a couple of these core documents on file. We focus on the records that prove a business is legally registered and in good standing.

3

The Badge Goes Live

Qualifying listings display the Verified Listing badge right next to the business name, so buyers can spot documented businesses at a glance.

What We Check

Three signals count toward the Verified Listing badge: EIN, License Number, and Certificate of Good Standing. The rest are supporting trust signals, shown on the listing when the seller provides them.

EIN

The business's federal tax ID confirms it's a real, registered entity — not just a name on a listing.

License Number

An active business license shows the company is authorized to operate in its industry and location.

Certificate of Good Standing

A state-issued document proving the business is properly registered and current on its legal obligations.

BBB Profile

A Better Business Bureau profile gives you an independent, third-party view of the company's track record.

Online Reviews

Links to the business's reviews let you see what real customers say before you reach out.

2+ Years in Business

An operating history of two years or more signals a business that's proven it can sustain itself.

Verification FAQ

It means the business has provided real documentation and we’ve checked at least two of the following: EIN, License, or Certificate of Good Standing. It’s our way of separating documented businesses from listings that are just words on a page.

Sellers simply add their business documents while creating or editing their listing. Once a couple of the core documents — EIN, License Number, or Certificate of Good Standing — are on file and checked, the badge appears on the listing. There’s no separate application.

No. Verification confirms the business’s legal and registration documents are real — it is not a financial audit. Always do your own due diligence on financials, operations, and terms before buying.

No. Any seller can list without it. But verified listings signal trust to buyers, so we strongly encourage sellers to provide documentation.

No. Verification is included with every business listing at no additional cost. Sellers just need to provide the documents.
