What checks support protected freelance projects Europe
Profile and business details
The VirtualMasst team checks:
- The professional profile, with a CV
- Applicable business information, such as VAT or company registration
- Whether the CV and portfolio are available
An incomplete talent profile is not approved.
Stripe onboarding
Stripe carries out identity, banking and compliance checks, including Know Your Customer (KYC), before a talent can be paid.
Profile approval
The VirtualMasst team reviews and approves the talent profile before it becomes visible on the platform.
These checks support the platform process, but the employer still decides which talent is suitable for the job.
What project protection does not decide for you
VirtualMasst provides platform checks and the payment process. Further checks before hiring are the employer's duty.
What the process does not confirm
- That a talent is right for a particular job
- That completed deliverables are accurate or suitable for every intended use
- That the work will be completed by a particular date
- A talent's communication style or quality of delivery
The employer chooses the talent, agrees the acceptance criteria and decides when the agreed work is complete.
How payment and deliverable approval work
The employer pays upfront through Stripe, using a valid payment method.
Funds are held within the Stripe payment flow until release. When the agreed work is complete, the employer confirms completion and releases payment. For a larger job, the employer can decide to split the work into several projects and approve each project separately.
