Trust & Safety
Paisoo helps people discover opportunities and start business conversations. Profile signals, confidentiality controls, and direct messaging support a safer process, but they do not replace your own due diligence, professional advice, or formal legal agreements.
Profile verification
Eligible users can submit identity documents for review. A Verified badge indicates an account-level review has been completed, providing an initial signal before you engage.
Confidential teasers & NDAs
Listing owners can hide their business brand and exact location publicly, sharing sensitive records only after reviewing an inquiry and executing a digital NDA.
Direct conversation trail
Communicate directly with business owners or investors through in-platform messaging. Discussions, inquiries, and shared materials stay organized in one place.
Independent deal support
Access valuation reviews, financial due diligence checks, and legal share transfer support when preparing agreements. Never commit based on claims alone.
1. What verification means (and what it does not)
Account verification is one helpful signal, not a guarantee or full due-diligence audit. A Verified badge shows that identity documents were submitted for account review.
- It does not verify business claims: Paisoo does not physically inspect premises, audit accounting books, or verify revenue figures for unassisted listings.
- Verify ownership independently: Request and check official documents—including the company registration certificate (OCR), PAN/VAT certificate, tax clearance, and property ownership papers (Lalpurja).
- Keep your own records: Retain copies of all transaction documents, messages, financial records, and agreements that inform your decision.
2. Practical checks before you transact
Treat every business acquisition or investment as an independent due-diligence process. For any transaction of consequence, engage qualified financial and legal advisers.
- Never transfer funds based on an online listing or chat alone: Never pay significant "token money" or deposits without confirming legal ownership and counterparty identity.
- Inspect what you are buying in person: Visit physical business locations during business hours to observe customer footfall, inspect equipment condition, and count stock alongside the owner. For digital businesses, verify live codebase access, domain ownership, and payment gateway reports.
- Execute a formal bilateral agreement: Ensure a Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) or Investment Agreement is drafted with explicit representations, warranties, inventory schedules, and liability indemnities.
3. Common red flags in Nepal business transactions
Stay alert to recurring risks and warning signs common in local commercial deals:
- Pressure for urgent token money: Anyone insisting on immediate cash or unverified bank transfers to "hold" a deal before you have reviewed basic registration and tenancy papers.
- Missing landlord consent for lease transfer: Sellers claiming "the landlord won't mind" without written tenancy agreement novation rights. In Nepal, landlords must legally agree to transfer the commercial lease.
- Unverifiable revenue claims: Stated daily turnover that does not match official VAT sales registers, bank statements, or Inland Revenue Office (IRO) tax clearance certificates.
- Undisclosed liabilities: Hidden pending supplier invoices, unpaid electricity or water utility balances, or local municipality taxes that could become your obligation after takeover.
4. Reporting a concern & getting support
If a listing, user, or communication appears suspicious or misleading, please report it immediately:
- Report suspicious content: Contact our team directly through our Contact Desk or email support@paisoo.com with the relevant listing link, screenshots, and context.
