Are Service Providers Checked and Insured?

Learn how service providers are verified before joining Helpling and how liability insurance applies during household cleaning appointments.


When you invite someone into your home, it’s important to feel confident about who you are booking. Helpling therefore requires service providers to verify their identity before they can offer their services through the platform.

👤 How are service providers checked?

All service providers complete an identity verification before joining Helpling.

The verification is carried out by an independent third-party company that specialises in confirming identities.

This process verifies that the personal information provided by the service provider belongs to the person creating the profile.

🛡️ Are service providers insured?

Service providers booked through Helpling are covered by liability insurance during household cleaning appointments.

Insurance coverage depends on the circumstances of the incident and the applicable terms and conditions. For more information about what may be covered and how to report damage, see our article on Liability Insurance.

🏥 What about health and social insurance?

Service providers are self-employed. As is standard for self-employed professionals, they are responsible for arranging and managing their own social insurance, including:

  • Health insurance

  • Pension insurance

  • Accident insurance

These are the responsibility of the service provider rather than the customer.

⭐ Choosing a service provider

Before sending a booking request, you can review available service-provider profiles and compare information such as:

  • Customer ratings and reviews

  • Hourly price

  • Number of completed cleanings

  • Availability

This can help you choose someone who matches your preferences.

💡 Good to know

Identity verification confirms the identity of the service provider.

Service providers work independently and decide which order requests they would like to accept.
