How verification works

Every business on LocalFor.Me has been through a four-step check by our ops team. That's what the green Verified tick means on a profile — not just "the merchant typed in their details", but "we've personally looked at the paperwork".

4 verified businesses · 107 categories · 3 towns covered

  1. 1

    Identity check

    Sole traders upload a photo ID. Limited companies provide their Companies House number — we cross-check the live registry to confirm the company is active and the listed officer matches.

  2. 2

    Address check

    A recent utility bill, bank statement, or commercial lease — anything that ties the business name to the address you've listed.

  3. 3

    Live review

    A human on our ops team eyeballs the documents and the public profile. We're looking for clear photos, sensible descriptions, and no obvious red flags.

  4. 4

    Annual refresh

    Verified status doesn't last forever. Every 12 months we ask for fresh proof — otherwise the tick falls off the profile until it's renewed.

The application is short — about 5 minutes. We'll come back within a couple of working days.
