how do we choose e-Residency marketplace members?
e-Residency Marketplace is a platform that serves as a starting point for all e-residents. The main goal of the Marketplace is to consolidate and provide basic information about some of the service providers available for e-residents, in order to facilitate their first steps when starting and running businesses.
Our top priority is our e-residents. While we have set up the Marketplace to provide as much information as possible to e-residents who are setting up their first company and becoming part of the e-Residency ecosystem, it is up to each e-resident whether to contact and enter into a contractual relationship with a Marketplace member.
It is vital that members of the Marketplace have professional business operations and good business reputations. We therefore choose e-Residency Marketplace members using a thorough onboarding procedure.
All the candidates for the Marketplace must fill out an onboarding form listing their services, target groups, specialities, and limitations as well as giving background information.
The e-Residency team performs due diligence on each potential member candidate, to check if the service provider meets the onboarding criteria related to the status, business activities, reputation, level of expertise on e-Residency, level of services, as well as other relevant aspects. The aim of the criteria is to ensure that the Marketplace maintains the relevance, quality, safety, transparency, trustworthiness, and good reputation of the e-Residency programme.
All the Marketplace members need to read, accept and sign the “e-Residency Marketplace code of conduct & marketing guidelines“.
After a careful review, a decision will be made as to whether the company will be onboarded and published on the Marketplace.
