Approved Tradesman for Cyprus trade businesses

Approved Tradesman is now available in Cyprus, providing a new way for homeowners to find reliable tradespeople. We have already listed nearly 3,000 trade businesses across the island, creating a comprehensive starting point for customers. Our aim is to help local trades win more work by making it easier for householders to feel confident when choosing a professional for their home improvement or repair projects. By using our directory, customers can move beyond simple name-and-number listings and access more detailed information.

How can trades build trust with local customers?

When a customer needs a plumber in Limassol or an electrician in Nicosia, they want to know who they are hiring. A basic online search often provides limited, and sometimes confusing, information. By setting up your profile on Approved Tradesman, you can clearly show customers that your business is real, active, and operates professionally. This transparency is crucial for building the initial trust needed to turn an enquiry into a job. You can find or add your business to begin.

Every company begins on our directory as a Listed Business. This basic profile shows local customers that your company exists in public records, providing a first layer of reassurance. To stand out, you can take the next step to confirm ownership of your profile and start a membership, which lets you build a fuller record of your business.

What are the steps to set up my profile?

Getting your profile ready is a simple process. We have designed a clear journey that takes you from finding your business listing to displaying your Approved Tradesman status to customers.

• Find or add your business on the directory.
• See the Business Found or Added screen.
• Select Confirm Ownership.
• Receive Ownership Confirmed on your account.
• Start your membership.
• Show your public status as an Approved Tradesman.

How are checks displayed on my profile?

Approved Tradesman means you have confirmed ownership of the business and keep an active membership with us. This is the foundation of your profile. The specific checks completed are shown as separate facts on your record. When a customer sees a tick next to an item, it means that detail has been independently checked and confirmed by our team.

Some checks are completed by consulting public records, while others need you to supply relevant paperwork. For example, we might confirm your company registration through official records but would need to see your insurance certificate to confirm your cover. You can learn more about what we check in our verification standard.

Membership pays for the checking, publishing and ongoing monitoring; it never influences the outcome of any check. Membership also does not buy a higher search position. Search results are based on the customer's search, so they can find the right trade for their job. This commitment to impartiality is central to how we differ from other platforms.

Why should I upload photos of my work?

Customers always appreciate seeing real examples of finished projects. Adding good pictures of your recent jobs helps prospective clients see the standard of your workmanship and the services you offer. A picture of a newly installed air conditioning unit, a neatly laid patio, or a set of fitted cabinets can provide the final piece of assurance a customer needs to contact you.

How do I get started on Approved Tradesman?

The first step is to search for your company on the Approved Tradesman directory today. From there, follow the guided steps: find or add your business, confirm ownership, and then start a membership to display your Approved Tradesman profile. Once your record is active, upload photos of your recent work so that local customers across Cyprus can find you. See more on our page for trade businesses.
