Get your business Verified
Upload your trade licence and tax registration, add your certifications, submit for review, and earn the Verified badge that shows on your public profile and lifts your Trust Score.
What you'll learn
- Know exactly which documents you need and how to upload them
- Submit your business for review and track the status
- Understand what the Verified badge does for you on the network
On a network where you are about to trade with companies you have never met, the first question everyone asks is the same one: is this business real? Anyone can type a company name into a form. What separates a serious counterpart from a placeholder account is proof, a real trade licence, a tax registration, and a track record that holds up. Verification is how you give the rest of the network that proof, once, so every buyer and supplier you reach can see it at a glance.
When your business is Verified, an emerald Verified badge appears on your public company profile in Discover. It tells every counterpart that VEXORS has checked your legal documents, and it contributes to your Trust Score. It is one of the fastest, highest-signal moves a new account can make.
Why this matters
A counterpart deciding whether to invite you to a Request, or whether to bid on yours, is weighing risk. A Verified badge removes a large part of that risk before the first message is even sent. It is the difference between "a company called Acme" and "a company VEXORS has confirmed is a real, licensed business." That confidence shows up as more invitations, more bids, and faster decisions.
What Verified means, and what it does not
There are two different things on your profile that both sound like "verified," so it is worth separating them.
| Signal | What it means | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Legal documents Complete | You have entered a licence number, an expiry date, and uploaded the document. This reflects what you filled in. | Your own profile, and the Legal & Compliance section counterparts can see |
| Verified badge | VEXORS has reviewed your submitted business and confirmed it. This is a platform decision, not a self-entered field. | The emerald Verified badge on your public profile, plus a contribution to your Trust Score |
What you will need
Have these ready before you start. It makes the whole flow a few minutes of work instead of a stop-start session.
- Your trade licence, with its number and expiry date, saved as a PDF or a clear image.
- Your Tax Registration number, and the document, also as a PDF or image. An expiry date here is optional.
- Any certifications or portfolio documents you want counterparts to see, such as an ISO certificate. These are optional but they strengthen your profile.
- Admin access. Editing the company profile and submitting it for review is an admin-level action, so a team member without admin rights can see the profile but cannot change or submit it.
Files can be PDFs or images and each must be under the size limit shown on the upload area. If a document is rejected as too large, export it at a lower resolution or save the PDF without embedded high-resolution scans.
Submitting your business for review
Everything happens under Settings then Company Profile. Open the profile in edit mode and work through the tabs.
Open Legal & Compliance and add your documents
On the Legal & Compliance tab, enter your trade licence number and expiry date, then upload the document. Do the same for your tax registration. Each document field shows a clear status once a file is on record, and an amber warning if an expiry date is approaching or has passed, so you always know what is current.
Add certifications on Documents & Certifications
Switch to the Documents & Certifications tab to attach anything that backs up your capabilities, quality certificates, accreditations, or a capability statement. Give each one a clear label so a counterpart reading your profile knows what they are looking at. These appear in the Documents section of your public profile.
Save and submit
Save your profile. When your legal documents are in place, your business is put forward for review and your profile shows a Pending review notice while VEXORS checks it. You do not need to do anything else during this window, your profile stays live and discoverable.
Track the outcome
When the review finishes, one of two things happens. If approved, the emerald Verified Business badge appears on your public profile and your Trust Score reflects the verification. If something needs fixing, you see a clear notice with the reason, so you can correct the document and resubmit without guesswork.
What the Verified badge does for you
When a buyer opens your supplier profile in Discover, the Verified badge sits right next to your company name and Trust Score. It signals that your licence has been checked, which weighs heavily when a buyer is choosing who to invite to a Request or which bid to trust.
When a supplier looks at the buyer behind a Request, the same badge reassures them that the buyer is a confirmed, legitimate business worth investing time to bid on. Verification works in both directions because every company on VEXORS is both a buyer and a supplier.
Verification also feeds your Trust Score. The score is built from your profile and verification, your activity, your completed work, and the ratings you earn, and verification is part of the profile-and-verification foundation that sets how high your score can climb early on. The full picture is in Understanding your Trust Score.
What good looks like
A profile that earns trust quickly tends to share a few traits:
- Both the trade licence and tax registration are uploaded, with accurate numbers and expiry dates that are not in the past.
- At least one certification or capability document is attached, with a descriptive label rather than a raw file name.
- Expiry dates are kept current, an expired licence shows a red warning on your profile, which undercuts the trust the badge is meant to build.
- The submission is made by an admin who can also act on a rejection notice quickly if one comes back.
New account, building credibility fast
You just registered and your Trust Score is low because you have no track record yet. The single highest-impact move available to you today is verification. Upload your licence and tax documents, attach one certification, and submit. Once the Verified badge lands, your profile reads as a real, checked business, and that is what convinces a counterpart to give you a first chance.
