Any business that fails a background check is barred from advertising anywhere on the Angi site. They will not appear in general search results, and they will also have a “Background Check Failure” notification on their listing if located by a direct company name search in the Angi Directory. Some Angi Certified businesses are national platform partners (“NPPs”), rather than typical service providers. These NPPs will be identified as such on their Angi profiles. Our background check criteria are not applicable to NPPs, and Angi does not background check the NPPs. NPPs may, however, have their own background check policies, which can be found on their Angi profiles.
