Proven® independently evaluates financial strength, payment behaviour, compliance, and operational track record — and certifies businesses that meet every criteria.
Less than 7% of companies qualify. Certification requires meeting strict criteria across more than a dozen financial and behavioural indicators — there is no shortcut and no exceptions.
Proven® evaluates companies using all available financial and behavioural data — government registries, credit bureau records, tax compliance history, and payment behaviour toward suppliers and partners. No forms to fill in. No self-promotion. The score is the score.
Certification requires meeting strict thresholds across more than a dozen criteria simultaneously — financial performance alone is not enough. Every dimension must clear the bar.
The Proven® badge is a working business tool — not a trophy for the shelf. Here is what it does in practice.
Certified companies are named in country-specific press releases, editorial features, and media partnerships when each market goes live. Your company name is published.
Permanent public listing in the Proven® registry — searchable by country, sector, and year. A linkable, verifiable page for every certified company.
A Proven® badge on your proposal tells procurement teams, CFOs, and enterprise clients you have already passed an independent check. Fewer questions. Shorter sales cycles.
Financial institutions and large enterprise clients increasingly require proof of stability before engaging. Proven® is recognised across EU markets as an independent standard.
Top candidates choose top and Proven® companies. Display the badge alongside job postings to signal financial health and long-term commitment to senior candidates.
Being Proven® signals you are a reliable payer. Suppliers, partners, and financial institutions offer better credit terms and payment conditions to companies with verified financial behaviour.
No application forms, no documents to submit, no waiting rooms. We do the work — you receive the result.
Proven® runs your company through our scoring model using all available data sources for your country. You don't need to submit anything — we retrieve and analyse the data independently.
If your company meets every threshold, you receive a certification notification with your score. You then order your certificate and badge kit — and we deliver the full package by email.
Deploy your badge on your website, email signature, client proposals, LinkedIn, and printed materials. Your verified listing on provencompanies.com is live the same day.
Scoring is based entirely on objective, externally verifiable data — government filings, credit records, tax compliance, payment history. No interviews, no panels, no subjectivity.
We pull data from all available sources for each country: national company registries, tax authority records, court and insolvency registers, credit bureau scores, and — where available — payment behaviour databases. No single data source is sufficient on its own. A company must score well across all dimensions simultaneously.
