Business registration (Level 1)

Show that your business is a real, registered company, exactly as Barota checked it.

Who needs it

A business needs its registration checked before its first public listing on Barota. If you sell in your own name, as an individual, you need nothing more than the identity check every member completes, and you are never asked to present as a business.

How it works

1. Open Business registration from Identity & checks, and choose your business.
2. Choose the country the business is registered in. Barota asks for what that country's register uses.
3. Where Barota can check the register, for example Companies House in the United Kingdom, enter the registration number. Barota's Verification team looks it up on the public register by hand. When it matches, your business page shows Registration Verified with [the register] and the date it was checked.
4. Where Barota cannot check the register yet, upload your registration certificate. It is stored privately and is not checked, and your page says exactly that: Registration Document Submitted. That badge is enough for a first listing in those countries.

If the Verification team cannot confirm a number, you will see their reason in Your checks. Nothing about it appears on your business page. Check the number and the registered name, then submit again.

What it costs

The check is paid for by your business, never by Barota. It is not open yet. You can look through the steps now, but nothing can be submitted or charged until the price is published.

Privacy

A certificate you upload is stored privately. Only you and Barota's Verification team can open it, and every opening is logged. It is kept while the check is active, and deleted 30 days after the check is withdrawn, lapses or is refused. The record that the check happened stays.

Reporting a problem

If your registration changes, tell us: the badge may be removed until it is checked again. To report a business badge you think is wrong, use Report on the business, or contact support.
