Trusted Firms Global

For certified firms & advisers

Quick Start Guide

How to use your Trusted Firms credential and display your badge.

What you receive

Digital credential with unique ID

Your credential ID (TFG-YYYY-NNNN for firms, TFA-YYYY-NNNN for advisers) is permanent and year-stamped.

Public verification page

Hosted at trustedfirms.global/verify/[YOUR-ID] – anyone can verify your certification independently.

Certification badge (SVG + PNG)

Shield format badge with your firm/adviser name and "Verify ›" printed on it.

HTML embed code

Copy-paste code for adding the badge to your website with automatic verification link.

How to use your credential

1

Find your verification page

Your credential email links to it. It is the page anyone can visit to confirm your certification is current: trustedfirms.global/verify/[YOUR-ID]

The badge is embedded, not downloaded. It is served live from trustedfirms.global, so it always reflects your current certification – it renews with your credential and shows an expired mark if the credential lapses. That is what makes it worth something to the person reading it.

If you need a static image file for print, signage, or a document, contact us and we will supply one.

2

Add to your website

Your credential email carries your embed code. Paste the HTML where you want the badge to appear. Use the version that suits your background; the tags for all three are in your dashboard. It is a link wrapping an image, both served from trustedfirms.global – no script, no tracking, nothing to configure.

Copy it rather than retyping it. The code carries your specific verification URL and the correct image dimensions, and it is the version we keep current – a hand-typed copy drifts.

Where to place it:

  • Homepage footer or sidebar
  • “About us” page
  • Contact page
3

Add to email signatures

Email signatures need an image file rather than embedded HTML, and many email clients block remotely loaded images by default. Ask us for a signature PNG and link it to your verification page.

Example signature:

Jane Smith

Senior Partner

Your Firm Name

Specimen badge, linked to your verification page

Your badge, linked to your verification page

Add the badge to:

  • Pitch decks and proposals
  • Capability statements
  • LinkedIn company page
  • Office signage (use high-res PNG)

Important: The badge must always link to your verification page. Do not modify the badge design, colours, or text.
