How business consultants in Europe are checked
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 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.
Talents must keep their Business number and professional details up to date and inform the VirtualMasst team when relevant details change.
What verification does not decide for you
VirtualMasst completes the platform checks. Further checks before hiring are the employer’s duty.
What the checks do not confirm
- That a talent is right for your particular job
- That deliverables will be complete, accurate and current
- That a job will be delivered on time or to your required standard
- A talent’s reliability, communication style or quality of delivery
The employer decides who to hire.
How verified profiles connect to payment
The employer pays upfront through Stripe, using a valid payment method.
Funds are held within the Stripe payment flow until release, and the employer releases payment after confirming the work is complete. For larger jobs, the employer can decide to split the work into several projects. The full sequence is explained on How it works.
