Four Business Trust Levels, each backed by the checks behind it. Businesses pay for checks; they earn their trust level. Buying an assessment never awards the level by itself.
Fees are per month in USD and exclude VAT, where applicable. The Vetted and Trusted assessments include up to 5 Business Entities; Elite limits are agreed per group.

Clear, honest pricing — the fee on this page is the fee you pay.
We don't nickel-and-dime. And when something goes wrong on our side, we own it and we fix it.
Every level builds on the one below it. The badge a trading partner sees on your profile reflects the checks you have passed, not what you have paid.
No. Creating your M2North account is free. Once the entry checks pass, your business earns the Core level and basic search visibility. The paid assessments run further checks; the level is awarded only when those checks pass.
No. The fee pays for the checks. Your business earns the level only when they pass, so a badge always means the checks behind it were completed.
The M2North network operates across Africa, so assessments are quoted in a single currency rather than one per country.
One registered legal entity. If your group trades through several registered companies, each one is enrolled separately. The Vetted and Trusted assessments include up to five, and the Elite review sets limits to suit larger groups.
Badges reflect the checks a business has actually passed. If a check fails or a document lapses, the level is not awarded until it is resolved. That is what makes the badge worth something to trading partners.
The Trusted level adds evidence of trading on the network to the checks below it. It shows that a business trades on M2North; it is not a measure of on-time payment or delivery.
Yes. Searching the network and viewing business profiles is free for buyers. Business Trust Levels use the same names for buyers and suppliers.
