Verification criteria
We check that your business exists (trade register, business licence, taxpayer card or equivalent, or failing that a verifiable public presence) and the identity of the person in charge. The badge is not a quality certification.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The 3 months of Pro are free, with no card and no automatic renewal. At the end, your account simply returns to the free plan unless you choose to subscribe.
What happens after 3 months?
You keep your page, your listings and your Founding member badge for life. On the free plan, listings above the free limit are paused, never deleted. We remind you 7 days before the end.
How long does verification take?
Usually under 48 working hours after your request, if the information provided is complete.
I am not registered yet, can I join?
Say so in your request and give a way to check your activity (business page, physical shop, customer references). Every application is reviewed.
I live in the diaspora, can I join?
Yes. Mboa Connection is open to professionals on the continent and in the diaspora, including those who ship or work remotely.
