Get verified. Win buyers’ confidence.
Verification is what turns you from an unknown name into a business buyers will deal with. Here is what it takes, how each detail is checked, and what the badge does for you.
What you’ll need
A one-time submission. The exact documents depend on your business type, but it comes down to four things:
Business registration
Your company, partnership, or proprietorship registration, so buyers know you are a real, registered business. The exact proof depends on how your business is set up.
Tax registration
Your GST and PAN, validated against the authority’s records rather than taken on trust.
Trade credentials
Your Importer Exporter Code, plus any product-specific licence your goods require, such as APEDA, Spices Board, or FSSAI.
Bank account
A bank account in your business name, confirmed by a small test deposit, so your payouts can only ever land in the right place.
How each detail is checked
Every check runs against an authoritative source, never a self-declaration, and is re-run at every deal.
Checked against official registries
Your registration and tax details are validated against the national company registry and tax authority, never a form you fill in about yourself.
The people behind the business
Your directors, partners, and ultimate owners are identified, so a buyer knows exactly who is on the other side of the trade.
Sanctions and watch-list screening
You are screened against global sanctions and watch-lists, and re-screened at every deal confirmation, in case anything changes.
Bank account confirmed
Your account is verified by a small test deposit and a name match, so payments settle to the right place from the very first trade.
Typically 24 to 48 hours, and your badge is valid for three years.
What the badge does for you
Buyers can rely on you at a glance
The Verified badge appears on your profile and every request you respond to, turning an unknown name into a checked business.
You get matched to real demand
Only verified suppliers appear to buyers, so your quotes reach people who can actually transact.
Your details stay protected
Your contact information is revealed only once a deal is confirmed, so being visible never means being exposed.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get verified?
Your business registration, GST and PAN, trade credentials (your Importer Exporter Code plus any product-specific licence), and a bank account in your business name. The exact set depends on your business type.
Are the checks the same for a company and a proprietorship?
The checks are the same; only the registration document differs. A registered company, a proprietorship, and a partnership firm each submit the proof that fits their structure, and all four checks, registries, ownership, screening, and bank, run the same way.
How long does it take?
The target turnaround is typically 24 to 48 hours per submission, and you are told clearly when it is under review and when it is complete.
How long does verification last?
Your Verified badge is valid for three years, with reminders before it expires so you can renew without interrupting your trading. It is also re-checked if your registered details materially change.
What does the badge actually do for me?
It is the signal buyers look for. Only verified suppliers are shown to buyers and matched to their requests, so verification is what gets you seen and taken seriously.
