Verification

Verified Vendor Program

For insured, reviewed, community-backed pros

Being listed on AHOM TRADES™ does not automatically mean a service provider is verified.

Verification is a separate, formal process designed to build trust between clients and trades — and protect the integrity of our network.

✅ What “Verified by AHOM TRADES™” Means:

A verified AHOM partner has:

  • Submitted valid business or trade credentials
  • Provided proof of insurance (where applicable)
  • Agreed to our service standards and client communication policy
  • Passed a basic trust and quality screening
  • Is in good standing with relevant industry or local trade bodies (if regulated)

🚫 What It Does Not Mean:

  • AHOM TRADES™ does not guarantee performance, timelines, or pricing
  • We do not act as an employer, broker, or legal representative of listed trades
  • We do not mediate disputes (but we do track repeated complaints)

🧰 Not Verified? You Can Still:

  • Be listed
  • Download tools
  • Access checklists & templates
  • Build your business with confidence

📌 Important Notes for Clients:

  • Reviewing at least 2 references
  • Asking for a written scope of work and payment terms
  • Using our free [Client Agreement Template] (link)
  • Never paying in full upfront
