Do they have a commercial office location? Are they licensed to operate a business in their city? Do they have regular business hours? Is the staff experienced? We help you consider these questions before you hire someone to help you take the next step.
First, Do they have a Commercial Office location?
Having a physical office location is not only professional but it also shows a company is established. You should be very careful when hiring a company operating from P.O. Box. Even if you are doing your application paperwork by mail or phone consultation it is still a good idea to know the company that is taking your payment will still be around should you have questions, problems, require a meeting, or need a refund.
Consider: Are they licensed to operate a business where they are?
Being Licensed means the company has permission from the city to be operating a business in the area they are located and also means there is record of a responsible party should something happen or if the company closes before you application is processed.
Do they have regular business hours?
This is important in the event you have a question or concern about your application process and you want to speak with or pay a visit to the person handling your paperwork.
Is the staff experienced?
Upon your initial conversation with the person that will be handling your application you should be sure to ask questions about their previous experience, be sure they are knowledgeable about the requirements regarding your application and make sure you feel comfortable discussing your business needs with the person you are considering hiring. The Application Process will require you and your consultant to work as a team toward your goals and therefore good communication is key.
