The BizValid Verified badge isn't handed out automatically. Every business on our platform goes through a structured verification process before they can accept enquiries.
What we check
Identity verification
Every business owner submits a government-issued photo ID. We match this against business registration details to confirm they are who they say they are.
ABN validation
We verify the business's Australian Business Number against the ABR (Australian Business Register). We check that the ABN is active and matches the trading name on their profile.
Licence check
For licensed trades (electricians, plumbers, builders, gas fitters), we verify their current state or national licence. The licence number is displayed on their public profile so you can cross-check it yourself.
Insurance confirmation
We request a Certificate of Currency showing current public liability insurance. For building work, we also verify home warranty insurance where required.

Reviews you can trust
Beyond verification, every review on BizValid is tied to a completed job. We don't allow anonymous or unverified reviews — so a 4.8-star rating actually means 4.8 stars from real, paying customers.
