What is this thing called trust? Well, according to Webster dictionary, trust is an “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to know right away if a business could be trusted or not? Especially if one is buying a pricey item off a site and that business has no physical store. It’s hard for consumers to trust a business that they have only heard of once, but now, with TrustedBusiness.com, it gives consumers a little more reassurance that you’re business is actually a legitimate business and not a con.
