Редакционна методология

Как проверяваме всяка компания в PVFirms.

PVFirms е редакционен, не «плати, за да участваш». Всяка обява — «Вписана», «Проверена» или «Премиум партньор» — преминава едни и същи публично документирани проверки. Никоя компания не може да купи по-високо ниво. Тази страница е наръчникът.

Доверие, заслужено на етапи

Всяка компания започва от «Вписана». Нивата се натрупват — «Проверена» наследява всички проверки на «Вписана», а «Премиум партньор» наследява «Проверена». Компаниите се придвижват нагоре само когато отговарят на следващия набор публични критерии.

Процесът на верификация

От подаване до значка

Стъпка 01

Submission & intake

Company submits via the Add Your Company form, or claims an auto-generated profile. We log company name, registered address and self-declared category.

Стъпка 02

Public registry sweep

Cross-check across VIES (EU VAT), national commercial registers (Handelsregister, KvK, Mercantile Register, etc.) and OpenCorporates. Rejected if registration is dissolved or inactive.

Стъпка 03

Document & identity review

We request certificate of incorporation, current insurance certificate, officer ID and recent invoices to confirm trading activity. Documents are stored encrypted, never published.

Стъпка 04

Reference & review check

Declared customers are contacted. Independent search for negative press, regulatory actions and review patterns. Notes are attached to the company file.

Стъпка 05

Inspection (Premium)

For the Premium Partner tier: a closer editorial inspection of the company's operations, certifications and staff.

Стъпка 06

Tier assignment & publication

The verification outcome is published on the company profile with the badge. Companies can appeal a tier decision; appeals are reviewed independently.

Защо това е независимо

Никоя компания не може да купи по-високо ниво

Listings & verification are free
Listed, Verified and Premium Partner badges have €0 cost. Companies cannot pay to be added, upgraded or kept active.
Order is by merit, not payment
Companies in search results are ordered by tier and rating — never by payment. There are no paid placements.
Independent review
Verification decisions are made by the editorial team, independently of any commercial relationship with the company.
Public revision log
Changes to a company's tier or profile are logged with date and reason, and visible on the public profile.
No pay-to-play advertising
We do not sell sponsored placements within the directory or verification badges of any kind.

Can a company pay to become a Premium Partner?expand_more
No. The Premium Partner badge cannot be purchased at any price. It is earned via the verification process described above.
How often are Premium Partners re-checked?expand_more
Every 12 months. If a Premium Partner does not respond to a re-check request, the badge is downgraded pending review, and the change is visible on the public profile.
What happens if a verified company breaches standards?expand_more
The editorial team investigates credible complaints. Possible outcomes range from a public note on the profile to a tier downgrade or full delisting — with the reasoning logged.
Why are some companies listed without being claimed?expand_more
For market completeness, we auto-create Listed-tier profiles from public registry data. The company can claim and upgrade for free at any time.

Yes. Every profile has a "flag this listing" option. Substantive flags trigger a re-check.
