WHY WAS TRUSTED FOUNDED?

Sara, the Trusted Founder, arrived to Canada from the UK in 2006. With no one to recommend businesses or services to her, she struggled to find good providers for her many immediate needs. Although she spent hours Googling, and looking for the products and services her family required, she still encountered bad service and often wasn't sure who to choose. This was very stressful. She searched for something available online for immigrants and newcomers to find local, verified businesses; something for people like her and the thousands of other newcomers that were arriving every month. People with no local knowledge or contacts, people from other parts of Canada and from all around the World…there the first seeds of Trusted were sown!

Let her explain what happened next in her own words...

"In 2008 my family circumstances changed. I was working full time and was now a single mom of 3 small children. I ran a busy and hectic household and I didn't have a lot of spare cash or time available. Then one day I made what I thought was an educated choice selecting a service provider - it was an emergency situation and afterwards I was left feeling taken advantage of both emotionally and financially. It took longer than they advertised to turn up, they charged a ridiculous fee for an item that in reality cost pennies, and what was charged on the final invoice was triple the original quote. My father wished he'd been there to help out, and he was annoyed that I was treated so unfairly...when he suggested that there should be somewhere to find trusted contractors I decided to go online and see if there was. Upon searching, I couldn't find anywhere that offered what I was looking for...then I remembered how I had experienced the exact same thing when I first arrived in Canada and I started to write a business plan."

When speaking to others around her, Sara realized how frequently it happens to so many people across all walks of life. From newcomers to students, immigrants, single women, young people, old people, high and low income, people that have been ripped off and badly treated by disreputable businesses in the past, or simply those that had no one in mind. Everyone seemed to have a story to share and the feedback from friends and family indicated that there was something lacking in advertising and in particular, the directory world….something local...something with actual standards...something that worked for the people, not for the businesses...something that demanded EXCELLENCE in service as standard...something that could absolutely...no fingers crossed...no holding your breath...be TRUSTED!

Our mission is to save you time, money and stress when choosing a local business. We do not believe in small print and we ensure the needs of the consumer are top priority!

We only promote locally accountable businesses run with integrity, who have the TRUSTED GUARANTEES as the cornerstone of their business. Trusted pledges to give back to the community too, and will support local non-profits, organizations and charities as part of our mandate. Trusted business are encouraged to share their expertise with us, which we then share with the public by means of blogs and other social media platforms to help people with their online research for additional value...you see Trusted promotes the BEST, other directories list the rest.
