Request to contract

From a need to a documented contract

Four steps, and one path that doesn't change.

Start with a request
  1. 2 / 4

    Search and compare

    Put up to four companies side by side.

  2. REQ-1042

    Send a structured request

    One form for scope and budget, with a reference number.

  3. CT-1042

    Turn it into a contract

    Terms from a ready template, approved by both sides.

  4. Deliver, document, review

    Every milestone approved and recorded, then the review opens.

No email, no phone, at any stage. The structured request is the only route.

Contract workspace

The agreement becomes a living document

Milestones submitted and approved, and a record that can't be edited holding everything that happened. The platform documents; it does not adjudicate.

  • Milestones with dates and deliverables
  • An append-only record of every event
  • Both sides confirm before work starts

The trust ladder

Trust is earned, never bought

Four ranks. Each means something specific, and each can be lost.

Fixed rules

Things we don't do, at any price

These constraints are written into the database, not into a marketing page.

  • Trust isn't for sale

    No plan moves a company to Verified or Elite.

  • No paid ranking

    Merit only. Featured is labelled and sits outside results.

  • No contact details

    No email, no phone — not even in an API response.

  • No review without a deal

    Only after a request both sides completed.

Member tools

Tools for running the company

Private workspaces inside your account, open to claimed companies and above.

FAQ

Questions before you start

If yours isn't here, just ask us.

Ask us directly
Is listing free?

Yes. Creating your company profile, keeping it current and receiving requests costs nothing. Paid plans unlock working tools and labelled featured placements; they never touch your tier or your ranking.

How long does verification take?

We commit to a decision within 72 hours of the paperwork being complete. If something is missing we ask for that specific thing rather than rejecting the application.

What do you need for verification?

A valid commercial registration, proof of the authorised signatory's identity, and one contactable client reference. Documents sit in a private store, only the review team can open them, and every opening is logged.

What of my company data gets published?

What you choose: your activity, services, city and past work. No email, no phone number and no document is ever published.

Who can review my company?

A buyer who completed a request with you on the platform, once per deal. A provider cannot edit or delete a review, and every review is moderated before it appears.

Do you work outside Egypt and the Gulf?

We're starting with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, because verification depends on knowing the local registries. Expansion follows the standard proving itself in these markets.
