What does Flip Verified mean?

When you receive quotes through Flip, you should know that the contractor has been checked before they are allowed in. Flip Verified means we review company status, finances, references, insurance, HSE, and professional competence before they can take projects through the platform.

Quality mark for contractors approved in the Flip system.

~7 of 10

do not pass

We say no more often than yes

The important trust signal is not that we have a quality mark. It is that the mark is not given to everyone. Most applicants do not pass the first assessment, and companies that do not meet the standard do not get access to projects through Flip.

Quality over time

Safety before, during, and after the job

Flip Verified is not only about approving a contractor once. We combine requirements before access, closer follow-up during the first project, and ongoing signals afterwards.

1Before access

The company must pass the checks

We assess public company registration, VAT/tax status, financial signals, insurance, HSE cards, references, and relevant professional competence.

2During

The first job is followed more closely

New contractors are followed through a test project with checkpoints before startup, after startup, and at completion.

3Afterwards

Quality has to stay consistent

Customer feedback, deviations, finances, insurance, and company status are used in the ongoing assessment of who gets new projects.

Process

How a contractor becomes Flip Verified

The process is practical and documentable. It combines objective checks with references and a test project before the contractor is fully onboarded.

1

Application or recruitment

The contractor contacts Flip, or Flip recruits companies that fit our project types and regions.

2

Company and finances

We assess company history, VAT/tax status, and financial health. Companies younger than three years are reviewed manually.

3

References and competence

We call two references and assess trade certificates, certifications, or documented practical experience.

4

Test project

Approved contractors are followed through a test project with checkpoints before startup, after startup, and at completion.

What we check

Eight checkpoints before access

Flip Verified is built to make the assessment open and understandable. Not every point is absolute on its own, but the whole picture decides whether the contractor gets access.

Company history

We look at operating history, registrations, and stability. Companies with short history must go through manual review.

Reference checks

We call two references to understand delivery quality, communication, and how the contractor handles deviations.

Healthy finances

We verify company finances through Tripletex. Active collection cases, liens, or ongoing bankruptcy lead to rejection.

Insurance and HSE

We check valid liability insurance and HSE cards before the contractor can take projects.

Professional competence

Trade certificates and certifications count positively, but documented practical experience can also qualify.

VAT and tax

We verify that the company has orderly VAT, tax, and public registration status.

Trade and geography

The contractor is qualified for the trades and regions where they can actually deliver.

Key people

We assess key people, role understanding, and seriousness where relevant to the projects.

Third-party verification

Healthy finances are checked through Tripletex

We verify the company's finances through Tripletex, a Norwegian accounting system. Companies with active collection cases, liens, or ongoing bankruptcy are rejected. We explain the principle publicly, but do not share internal score thresholds.

Manual review when the picture is unclear

Some companies have short history or figures that need context. Flip then reviews the case manually before potentially letting them in.

The routine is repeated annually, so verification is not just a snapshot.

After approval

Verification does not stop at first approval

A contractor can lose access to projects if quality drops. That is why we continue following up after they are accepted.

Annual re-check

Finances, insurance, and basic company status are checked again at regular intervals.

Broker pool and partner feedback

Projects from brokers and partners provide extra feedback on precision, progress, and customer dialogue.

Customer feedback

We collect reviews after projects and use deviations, dialogue, and satisfaction in ongoing quality assessment.

Speak up

Does something feel off?

Safety is also about what happens if something seems unserious, unclear, or not as agreed. It should be easy to report it, and the feedback should be used.

Report deviations in the project

If communication, progress, or delivery does not seem as agreed, you can document it in the project.

Flip follows up

We review the documentation and help with the follow-up Flip can contribute to with the contractor.

Feedback affects quality

Repeated deviations and poor customer experiences are included when assessing whether a contractor should continue receiving projects through Flip.

For customers

Flip Verified explains how we assess contractors. The Quality Promise explains the full customer experience: fixed price, follow-up, insurance, warranty rights, and guarantees.

Flip Verified is an open quality program. It does not replace customer rights, contracts, or warranty rights, but makes it clearer how Flip selects contractors.
