Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need separate apps for customers and providers?

For MVP, you can use one app with role switching. As you scale, separate apps provide better UX. Web apps can work for providers initially.

How do I handle provider vetting?

Start with manual verification: ID check, background check (via Checkr), and interview. Automate as you scale. Trust is crucial for service marketplaces.

What about insurance and liability?

Consult a lawyer for your specific service. Many Uber-for-X platforms require providers to have their own insurance or offer group policies.
