Businesses in The Prime Buyer's Report® that display the Prime Buyer's Certified™ seal  are those that have passed what the staff of The Prime Buyer's Report has determined to be the Top 10 criteria for evaluating the quality and trustworthiness of a local business.


Having passed these Top 10 criteria, they are designated in The Prime Buyer's Report as Top 10 businesses. They may also display the "Prime Buyer's Certified - TOP 10" symbol in their own communications to consumers as assurance that their claims and quality have been verified by an independent third party.


The Top 10 criteria are:

Licensing
The company has provided proof of a valid state license if such is legally required for their industry.

Insurance
The company has provided proof of liability insurance or an equivalent (such as Errors & Omissions insurance) in all industries where our staff determines that if service is rendered to the consumer improperly, it could result in financial damages to the consumer. Thus an active insurance policy is in place to reimburse consumers in such an event, however unlikely.


Visual Proof
The Prime Buyer's Report has seen visual proof of the business, either of previous jobs/work, company facilities, or company vehicles.

Time In Business
The company has provided proof that it's been in business for a minimum of one year, or if less than one year, that the company's principal has been in the industry for 5 years or longer.

 

Workers' Compensation
Unless legally exempt, the company has provided proof of active Workers' Compensation insurance if it is in an industry that requires entering consumers' homes.

 

Violations Check
Companies in an industry regulated by the State have no more than one Notice of Violation per $1 million in annual revenue, no more than one Notice of Violation in the past 12 months and no more than three Notices of Violation in the past five years.

 

Complaint Status
The company need not be a paying member of the Better Business Bureau, but should have zero unresolved complaints on record there.

Thorough Disclosure
The company owner has taken part in a thorough editorial interview by The Prime Buyer's Report, focused on professional abilities, personal background as it relates to their profession, specialties and performance, and agrees to be presented to consumers in a forthright, open manner.

 

 

Best Business Practices
The company has agreed to the ethical standards outlined in the ten-point Best Business Practices Promise.

 

Customer Satisfaction
The company has provided customer names and numbers as references. The Prime Buyer's Report staff calls these references to confirm they were satisfied with the company's performance.
