Business Verification Documents
To help keep Fufu Planet safe and reliable, we ask restaurants to upload a business registration, business license, or another document that proves the business is real and active. Because business documents differ by region, we may accept different types of proof depending on where your restaurant operates.

Regional flexibility
Vendors should provide either a business registration, business license, or another acceptable document that reasonably proves the restaurant is legitimate, active, and connected to the applicant.
This allows Fufu Planet to onboard vendors across Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and other regions without forcing every vendor into one legal-document format.
