Why are companies verified on ConnectAmericas?

ConnectAmericas seeks to be a platform that promotes international business in a secure environment. A legally incorporated company generates more trust and demonstrates that it is authorized to conduct its business activities legally, both nationally and internationally. Any company, whether incorporated or not, can create a company profile on ConnectAmericas, but only those that are verified can benefit from the Supply Chain Program, through which we help buyers and sellers connect with each other around business opportunities or purchase announcements free of charge.

  • Go to the “Your Company” tab
  • Fill in the “Tax ID Number” field and attach an official document issued by your country's tax authority, ministry of commerce, secretariat of commerce, chamber of commerce, or the competent entity responsible for the legal registration of companies in your country.
