Our Rigorous
Verification Process

Multiple layers of verification to ensure only legitimate US businesses earn our seal of approval

Why We're Different

No Shortcuts. No Exceptions.

In an era where anyone can create a professional-looking website, we've built a verification system that goes far beyond surface-level checks. Our multi-layered approach makes it virtually impossible for fraudulent businesses to slip through.

Why This Level of Rigor Matters

Fraudsters rely on shortcuts. They use virtual offices, mail forwarding services, VoIP numbers that route to offshore call centers, and fake documentation.

Our multi-layered approach doesn't just check one or two boxes—it creates a verification gauntlet that's virtually impossible to fake. Each layer catches different types of fraud:

  • Legal records catch shell companies and fake registrations
  • Physical mail exposes virtual offices and mail forwarding
  • Random phone calls reveal offshore operations
  • Ongoing monitoring ensures continued compliance

The result? When you see our verification badge, you can trust it represents a genuine, US-based business with a real physical presence.
