New Changes to Our Site

Improvements to this Site.

January 9th, 2012
Author: Ron Jacobs

  During the course of the last several months, Safe and Trusted Canada
  has made major improvements to the Site.No more sign up - simply
  email us at office@safeandtrusted.com to start the process. If your
  business qualifies by being legal to operate in your trade area,, and
  does not have a F-Rating with Better Business Bureau, you qualify
  for a 30 day free trial.
We will not automatically invoice you a the end of 30 days, after we receive notification that you wish to continue on the Site. 

We do not restrict membership on this site to a chosen few like some others.  Everyone on Safe and Trusted Canada is equal and it is the consumer that decides who will be the chosen few that they will pick based on information and not advertising budget.

Businesses with high advertising costs, have to transmit those costs to the consumer, or reduce overhead in other ways such as not paying their staff.
Safe and Trusted Canada will allow new businesses and amount of time in business is not a factor.
