Services: hiring and providing

Torra Services connects people who need work done with local contractors and service providers — from home repairs to professional services — complete with profiles, reviews, and direct messaging.

Finding a contractor

Browse providers by service category and location, then compare profiles before reaching out.

  • Service categories cover the most common trades and professional services in your region.
  • Provider profiles show their service description, coverage area, photos of past work, ratings, and verification status.
  • Filter by location to find providers who actually cover your area.

Hiring and communicating

Once you find a promising provider, everything happens through Torra messaging.

  • Contact a provider from their profile page to discuss scope, timing, and price.
  • Keep negotiations in Torra chat so you have a record of what was agreed.
  • After the job, leave a review to help the next customer choose well.

Becoming a service provider

Service providers register through a dedicated flow that builds a public professional profile.

  • Register as a provider from the services section or via seller onboarding with the Services path.
  • Describe your services, set your categories and coverage area, and add photos of your work.
  • Complete identity verification to earn the verified badge buyers look for.
  • Manage your profile, listings, and inquiries from the service provider dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Are service providers vetted?

Providers can complete identity verification (NIN or BVN via Torra's KYC partner) to earn a verified badge. Reviews from past customers add a second layer of trust. Always do your own due diligence before hiring.

Does Torra take a commission on jobs?

No. Providers subscribe to a plan to be listed; payment for the work itself is agreed directly between you and the provider.

Can a provider also sell products?

Yes. One Torra account can hold multiple seller roles — add the marketplace path through seller onboarding at any time.
