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.

От подаване до значка
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.
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.
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.
Reference & review check
Declared customers are contacted. Independent search for negative press, regulatory actions and review patterns. Notes are attached to the company file.
Inspection (Premium)
For the Premium Partner tier: a closer editorial inspection of the company's operations, certifications and staff.
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.
