Can you verify that a business black-owned?
Yes – As a company, we allow black-owned businesses from various industries to provide information about their businesses on our platform. We have a vetting process that we go through to verify that a business is black-owned and actively operating. We verify businesses by doing various searches – including a web search, social media search, BBB search, Secretary of State search, Google search, and a search of other directories. We also contact the businesses directly by phone or email to verify if needed. However, as stated in our Terms of Use, “we have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites or services.”
