1. Eligibility and Business Ownership
Businesses can be listed with or without formal registration.
However, registered businesses with valid documentation will take precedence in any ownership dispute.
If a registered business claims a name already listed by an unregistered party, the unregistered listing will be removed without prior notice.
Unregistered businesses are not eligible for a refund if their listing is removed due to a verified ownership claim.
2. Listing Accuracy and Edits
Trust Merchant reserves the right to edit or refine submitted business details to align with platform standards.
Only one listing per business name is allowed.
Once submitted, email and contact numbers cannot be changed unless formally requested.
3. Post-Listing Changes
After a business is listed, changes to the business name, email, or contact number will require identity verification.
A verification fee will apply for such changes.
To maintain platform integrity, all updates must go through an internal approval process.
4. Individual Professionals
Individuals (such as freelancers or consultants) may register with:
Full name
Headshot photo
Personal email and phone number
A brief description of the service provided
While individuals are welcome, priority will be given to verified business entities in terms of visibility and placement.
5. Registration Fee
A one-time, non-refundable fee of Rs. 6,000 is required for lifetime registration.
This fee covers initial listing and onboarding. Any future modifications involving ownership or primary contact changes are not included.
6. Trust Policy
Trust Merchant is committed to building a credible and long-term directory for Sri Lankan businesses.
All participants are expected to uphold honesty, brand authenticity, and professional conduct.
