Checks before you hire anyone
- Credentials: check professional registers. Each service guide lists the main bodies by country.
- Insurance: professional indemnity (also called errors and omissions) cover for advice-based services.
- References: speak to two or three clients similar to you.
- Contract: scope, deliverables, fees, payment terms, ownership of work, confidentiality, data protection and how either side can end it.
Our sister site DomComInsure explains business and professional indemnity insurance.
Our role
ProSourced doesn’t employ, endorse or vet individual professionals, and we’re not a party to any agreement you make. Some links are referral links: partner platforms may pay us a fee when we introduce you, at no extra cost to you. How we make money.
