How we verify

A firm can only quote for a service once our team has checked its accreditation and insurance for that exact service.

Checked by people

Every document is checked by our team against the public register or insurer details. AI may help read a document, but never approves it.

Re-checked yearly

Each requirement has a re-check interval, usually 12 months. We also re-check when a firm uploads a new document.

Expiry pauses the service

When a document expires, that service is paused automatically until a valid replacement is verified.
