This guide shows you how to find vetted contractors, send and accept Lynks, and manage your compliance-driven network on Sublynk.

\n
\n What is a Lynk? A Lynk is a connection between two vetted businesses on Sublynk, built on compliance. When you are linked, you can see each other's verified paperwork. If one side falls out of compliance, everyone they are Lynked to is notified right away.\n

See your dashboard

\n
\n

Your dashboard shows incoming and sent requests, quick stats, and your active Lynks.

\n\n

Once you are linked with a business, you can see their verified compliance documents right away. That includes W9s, licenses, insurance authorizations, proof of insurance, certifications, and business verification.

\n
\n Why this matters: A Lynk keeps everyone honest. You always see current, verified paperwork from the businesses you work with, and if anyone falls out of compliance, you find out right away.\n
