What Our Verification Actually Means

Setting a New Standard

Most "verified" badges on the internet are just stickers you can buy. At Verified Trades, our badge isn't for sale—it's earned through a rigorous audit process.

The 5-Point Manual Audit

Every pro in our registry undergoes a manual review by our regional team:

1. Provincial Registry Check: We verify active licenses with Technical Safety BC and BC Housing.
2. Insurance Verification: We call insurance brokers to confirm active liability policies.
3. Identity Confirmation: We verify business registration and principal identity.
4. Background Scan: We check for history of consumer protection violations.
5. Quarterly Re-Audit: We don't just check once. We re-verify every 90 days.

This level of depth is what makes our directory the most trusted source for homeowners in the Thompson-Nicola and Okanagan regions.
