Selling yourround? Prove themoney's real.
Buyers knock 20% off because all you have is your word. We turn the money already landing in your bank into a report they can check, and a Verified badge for your listing. £79, done in days.
First 10 sellers only. The link closes at 10.
You know the drill
- Your listing says £2,400 a month. So does every fake one.
- Buyers ask for proof and get screenshots, which prove nothing.
- So they knock 20% off, and you can't argue, because all you have is your word.
The proof is already in your bank account. It just isn't in a form a buyer can check.
How it works
- Pre-order for £79, through Stripe.
- Connect the account your round is paid into. Read-only, through GoCardless.
- Report, badge and check page within days.
What buyers get shown
The report a seller hands you. Bank-verified income, payer count, retention, payment methods, month by month. Cash income we can't see, and the report says so. The one below uses a made-up round.
Every report carries a code and a public check page, so a buyer can confirm the badge is genuine.
Questions sellers actually ask
- Why can't I just show a buyer my bank statements?
- Statements are easy to fake and a buyer cannot tell the difference. They also hand a stranger your whole financial life, every direct debit and every personal payment, before you have agreed a price. And nobody reads 13 months of credits and works out how many payers you kept. The badge does that, on your listing, before a conversation exists.
- What about cash?
- Most rounds take some. The report verifies the money that lands in your bank and says plainly that cash is not verified. It can carry one line saying you also collect cash, never an amount, because we cannot check an amount. Buyers already price cash they cannot see at zero.
- Do my customers need to do anything?
- Nothing. No payment changes, no contact, nothing to sign. The connection is read-only on your account. They never know.
- Can TrustTheBooks get into my bank account?
- The connection is read-only, through GoCardless Bank Account Data, the same open banking rails your banking app uses. We cannot move money and we never see your login. Consent expires after 90 days and you can revoke it any time. We delete the raw transactions within 30 days and keep only the figures on the report.
- Why isn't it free?
- Because whoever captures the premium should pay for the proof, and that is you. The buyer side stays free, permanently. The price is also part of the signal: a report that costs nothing, that no person checked, is worth what it cost.
- What if my report isn't delivered?
- You get refunded in full, automatically, if your report is not delivered within 30 days. No forms, no chasing.
