# Claim Your Sheet and Supply the Missing Information

Homeowners use your sheet to decide whether to call. Every field you fill in replaces a Not provided label with your answer. It's free, and it takes about ten minutes.

## Step 1 How claiming works

1.

**Find your sheet and confirm you own or manage the business.** We call the phone number on your license or corporate record, or email a code to the address on your website.

2.

**Fill in the fields marked Not provided.** Most owners finish in about ten minutes.

3.

**Send documents where you can.** A sample contract or insurance certificate lets us mark a field Checked by us instead of Supplied.

4.

**We review and publish within five working days.** Each change is listed in the sheet's history with the date.

## Before you start What paying can't do

**No plan, at any price, can:**

- remove or soften an accurate negative fact, such as a closed complaint;
- remove a Not provided label without supplying the information;
- move your business up a table (tables are alphabetical).

What you can always do, free: supply missing information, add documents, and ask us to correct anything that's wrong.

## Step 2 Supply information

Send us the business name, your role, the field and the information, written the way you'd want a customer to read it (for example "10% at signing, then five stage payments"). Add where we can check it: a link, or the document itself.

Use the [contact page](https://theopenbooklocal.com/contact/) until the online form opens. We confirm you represent the business before anything is published.

## Optional Optional upgrades

An enhanced profile adds photos, a contact form and view statistics, and is labelled Enhanced profile (paid) . It never changes order, negative facts or *Not provided* labels. [How we make money](https://theopenbooklocal.com/how-we-make-money/)

## Questions Questions from business owners

Does claiming my sheet cost anything?

No. Claiming, supplying information and asking for corrections are free and stay free.

How do I replace a Not provided label?

Supply the information. Your answer replaces the label with a source tag; if you also send a document, such as an insurance certificate, the tag says it was supplied by the business and when we checked its dates.

Can I have an accurate negative figure removed?

No. If you think a figure is wrong, send the evidence and we check it within five working days; accurate figures stay on the sheet.

Does paying change where my business appears?

No. Reports are alphabetical, and an enhanced profile is labelled and changes nothing in the tables.

[OpenBook *Local*](https://theopenbooklocal.com/)

Information sheets on local businesses. Every field shows where it came from, and anything a business hasn't told us is marked Not provided instead of being filled in.
