“Licensed & Insured”
Your website can tell customers what you carry, but it is still a statement made by your business.
For Trade Businesses
Win the job on trust, not on price.
Homeowners can't tell you apart from the unlicensed crew underbidding you. TradeCheck verifies your license, insurance and standing at the source, then shows it on your profile, your website and your trucks, and keeps it current.
Verification is based on the records reviewed, not simply what your business claims.

Why Businesses Join
Customers see claims everywhere. Give them something they can actually check.
Your website, reviews and advertising all help customers understand your business. TradeCheck adds something different: a record showing what has actually been reviewed.
“Highly Rated”
Reviews can show customer experiences, but they do not independently verify licenses or insurance.
“Here's our certificate”
A document can provide evidence, but customers may not know what it means or whether it is current.
Show the record.
Give customers a clear place to see what was reviewed, how it was reviewed and the current status.

Earned, Not Bought
Paying starts the process. It does not determine the result.
Verification is free. Businesses pay TradeCheck only for Pro tools, never for a result. The status itself depends on the underlying record.
Payment does not make a credential Current.
The applicable evidence still has to satisfy the requirement being reviewed.
Pro does not make you Verified.
Required core verification items still have to be completed.
The record determines the status.
Business FAQ
Questions trade businesses usually ask.
TradeCheck can review business identity and registration, applicable trade licenses, insurance and other credentials based on the business, trade, location and verification level.
No. Payment covers TradeCheck services. Verified status depends on the applicable core requirements being completed and satisfied.
The applicable credential status can change when it no longer satisfies the requirement. Updated evidence can then be submitted for review.
TradeCheck is designed around public proof and private evidence. Public profiles can show status and relevant verification information without automatically exposing full sensitive documents.
Verified focuses on applicable core business credentials. Verified+ Enterprise builds on that foundation with additional commercial insurance, safety, policy or business-readiness requirements where applicable.
TradeCheck is designed around a reusable contractor record that can support sharing and organization-specific qualification.
No. Hiring organizations can have their own insurance limits, policies, licenses and project-specific requirements. Verified+ Enterprise status can strengthen the underlying record but does not automatically satisfy every client.
Yes. The Listed level is $0 and allows you to begin with your TradeCheck business profile before applying for paid verification.
Verification status depends on the applicable record. If a required credential expires or can no longer be confirmed, the relevant credential or business status can change.
