Why verification matters

Customers find businesses through search engines, social media, referrals, and directories.

Incorrect phone numbers, outdated information, and fraudulent listings damage trust and cost real business.

Claiming and verifying your listing helps customers connect with the real business behind the name.

Unclaimed Listing

Anyone can search for the business, but no owner is managing the information.

Verification Pending

An ownership claim has been submitted and Boafo One is reviewing the evidence.

Verified Business

The owner is confirmed and the business carries the Verified by Boafo One badge.

Verification methods

Requirements vary depending on the business type and circumstances. We will tell you what we need.

    Add a small verification record on your business website.

    Share a registration certificate or equivalent record.

    A recent utility bill or document showing the business address.

    Additional evidence the reviewer requests for your situation.

Ownership disputes

If more than one party claims ownership of the same business, we review each case carefully.

  • Claims are reviewed individually
  • Supporting evidence may be requested
  • Existing owners may be contacted
  • Temporary restrictions may apply during review

Boafo One reserves the right to revoke verification where ownership information is found to be inaccurate or misleading.
