Verified Company Profiles

The verified mark gives buyers additional confidence in the business

This gives buyers additional assurance that their activity on United Baristas Market is legitimate and that buyers can benefit from the protections that come with purchasing from a registered company.

The benefits of buying from an established coffee business

As a buyer your rights may vary when buying new and used items depending on whether you are acting as an individual or a company and whether the seller is acting in an individual capacity or company.

For example in the UK, the Consumer Rights Act and the Consumer Contracts Regulations provide additional obligations on companies when selling used items and grant additional rights to individuals when buying.

When buying goods or services from a verified Company Profile you can be assured that you are dealing with a representative of the relevant, register business.

What about buying from companies that are not verified?

Many baristas and coffee people use United Baristas Market to buy and sell coffee-related items. Since verification is only open to established, registered companies inside the UK or EU – all individuals and new companies are not eligible.

The purpose of verification is to further establish the legitimacy of the Company Profile. When buying from all sellers on United Baristas Market you should buy and sell safely and make use of protections such as Trustshare.

Please contact support:

• using an email from a domain that represents the relevant trading style of the Company Profile

Reporting verified Market Stalls

United Baristas periodically re-checks verified Company Profiles. If you become aware of a verified Company profile with either:

• a significant change of ownership in the trading style, or
• the company is no longer active, for example it is being liquidated, in administration, struck off or closed

please contact United Baristas support with the relevant information so we can promptly review their verified Company Profile status.
