Trust Should Be Earned, Not Bought.
SCSME verification exists to help buyers understand which business information has been reviewed and what capabilities have supporting evidence.
What each status means
- SCSME Member
- The business holds a current membership. This confirms association membership, nothing more.
- SCSME Verified Business
- Core business information — identity, registration, contact and location — has been reviewed against supporting evidence.
- Verified Supplier
- Evidence supports that the business supplies products, materials or services to other businesses.
- Verified Manufacturer
- Evidence supports in-house manufacturing capability. A business is never labelled a manufacturer without it.
- Corporate Supplier
- Evidence supports supply to corporate or institutional buyers.
- OEM Available
- Evidence supports original-equipment or contract manufacturing arrangements.
- Export Ready
- Evidence supports export handling capability.
- Certification
- A specific certification, shown only where documentary evidence is on file and current. Halal and similar statuses are shown only with appropriate evidence.
How verification works
- 1
Evidence
The business submits documents supporting the specific claim it wants recognised.
- 2
Administrative review
SCSME staff check the evidence. A fee may fund the review, but paying it never guarantees the outcome.
- 3
Decision
The verification is granted, declined with reasons, or returned for further evidence.
- 4
Expiry and review
Verifications can carry an expiry date and are re-checked when the underlying facts change.
- 5
Suspension
A verification is suspended if evidence lapses or a claim turns out to be unsupported.
- 6
Corrections
Anyone can raise a correction. SCSME reviews it and updates the record where warranted.
Verification indicates that evidence has been reviewed. It is not a guarantee of commercial performance, product quality or the outcome of any transaction, and it cannot be purchased.
