Common questions

Does it cost anything?

Searching, enquiring and listing are free. Only the optional Pro and Assisted plans are paid.

What does ProperPros check?

For checked professionals, the registrations that apply to their trade, such as CIPC, SARS, COIDA, UIF and the trade's own regulator, each with the date it was checked. See the full list.

Do you guarantee the work?

No. Checks confirm registration and compliance on the dates shown. ProperPros does not guarantee workmanship, quality, pricing or results, so always read a quote carefully.

How long does a listing take?

Reviews usually take up to two working days once the details and documents are in.
