📝 Requirements for Hazlo Pros - Vendors

Join with confidence. Work with pride.
Hazlo Pros holds every professional on the platform to a high standard — because our community deserves the best. If you’re applying to join as a vendor, here’s what you’ll need to provide during onboarding.

📂 Essential Documentation & Information

✔️ W-9 Form (Tax Identification):
Submit a completed IRS W-9 form. This includes your legal/business name, address, and Tax ID (SSN or EIN). W-3 Form is also required if your company has non-owner employees.

✔️ UBI Number (Washington State Registration):
If you operate in Washington, you must have a valid Unified Business Identifier (UBI) from the WA Department of Revenue.

✔️ EIN or SSN (Federal Tax ID):
Businesses need an EIN. Sole proprietors can submit an SSN through the W-9 to complete payment/tax profile setup.

✔️ COI – Certificate of Insurance:
Proof of active general liability insurance is required. Minimum coverage is typically $1 million. We verify the COI for effective dates and policy status.

🛠️ Additional Requirements

📜 Professional Licenses (If Applicable):
For regulated trades (e.g., electricians, plumbers, contractors), submit valid license documentation. WA contractors must be bonded and registered with L&I.

🔎 Background Check (Where Applicable):
Required for services involving private homes or sensitive spaces. Consent will be requested. Background must be clean or acceptably explained.

📘 Agreement to Terms:
All vendors must agree to our Terms of Use and guidelines:

• Professional conduct
• No harassment, discrimination, or spam
• Honest representation of services and credentials

✅ Ongoing Quality & Conduct:
Vendors must maintain a strong rating, communicate professionally, and complete quality work. Too many negative reviews or serious complaints may trigger review or removal.

🔄 Keeping Your Profile Current

• Upload a new COI with each insurance renewal
• Update us with new licenses, contact info, or company name
• Renew licenses on time — expired documents may pause your account

💬 Why It Matters

These requirements create a reliable, trusted network where customers feel safe hiring — and vendors feel proud to stand behind their credentials.
