Editorial Policy

Last updated: December 2024

At GrowAcross, we believe you deserve accurate, unbiased information to make important business decisions. This policy explains how we create, verify, and maintain our content.

Our Core Principles

Independence

Our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or business partnerships.

Accuracy

We verify all information against official government sources and update content regularly.

Transparency

We clearly disclose all commercial relationships, sponsored content, and affiliate links.

User First

Every piece of content is created with our readers' best interests as the primary consideration.

1. Editorial Independence

GrowAcross maintains strict editorial independence. Our content team operates separately from our business development and advertising functions. This separation ensures that:

  • Editorial decisions are based solely on the value to our readers, not commercial considerations
  • Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over what we write or recommend
  • Rankings and comparisons are determined by objective criteria, not payment
  • We publish critical or negative information when it serves our readers' interests

2. Research and Verification Process

2.1 Primary Sources

We prioritize official and authoritative sources for all factual claims:

  • •Government registries and regulatory bodies (e.g., Companies Registry, ACRA, HKMA)
  • •Official legislation and regulatory guidelines
  • •Central banks and financial regulators
  • •Immigration departments and official visa information
  • •Tax authorities and official tax guidance

2.2 Secondary Sources

When official sources are insufficient, we may use:

  • •Reputable news organizations and business publications
  • •Industry reports from recognized research firms
  • •Direct communication with service providers (clearly attributed)

2.3 Experience-Based Content

Our team has firsthand experience incorporating companies and managing businesses across multiple jurisdictions. When we share experiential insights, we clearly distinguish these from factual information and note that individual experiences may vary.

3. Content Updates and Maintenance

We are committed to keeping our content accurate and current:

Regular Reviews

All guides and service pages are reviewed at least monthly to ensure accuracy. More frequent reviews occur when significant regulatory changes are announced.

Update Dates

Every page displays a "Last updated" date so you know how recent the information is.

Regulatory Monitoring

We actively monitor regulatory announcements in the jurisdictions we cover and update content promptly when changes occur.

4. Commercial Relationships and Disclosure

We believe in complete transparency about how we generate revenue. Here's how we handle commercial content:

Affiliate Links

Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click on these links and sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Disclosure: Affiliate links are marked with appropriate disclosure. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial recommendations or rankings.

Featured Providers

Service providers may pay to be featured prominently on our comparison pages.

Disclosure: Featured placements are clearly labeled as "Featured" or "Sponsored." Payment for featured placement does not affect our editorial ratings or recommendations.

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish content that is sponsored by a third party.

Disclosure: All sponsored content is clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at the beginning of the article. Sponsored content is held to the same accuracy standards as editorial content.

Our Promise: We will never recommend a product or service based on compensation. Our recommendations are based solely on merit, user value, and objective criteria.

5. Comparison and Ranking Methodology

When we compare or rank service providers, we use objective, transparent criteria:

  • Pricing transparency: Clear fee structures without hidden costs
  • Service scope: Range and quality of services offered
  • Processing times: Speed and efficiency of service delivery
  • Regulatory standing: Proper licensing and compliance
  • User experience: Quality of support and ease of use
  • Track record: Reputation and reliability

Specific ranking criteria are disclosed on relevant comparison pages. Payment or commercial relationships do not influence rankings.

6. Corrections Policy

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. We are committed to correcting mistakes promptly and transparently:

  • Report errors: If you spot an error, please contact us with details. We prioritize error reports and respond within 2 business days.
  • Minor corrections: Typos and minor factual errors are corrected immediately without notation.
  • Significant corrections: Substantial factual errors are corrected with a clear "Correction" note explaining what was changed and when.
  • Update vs. Correction: We distinguish between corrections (fixing errors) and updates (adding new information due to changed circumstances).

7. Limitations of Our Content

Important Disclaimer

While we strive for accuracy, our content is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal, tax, financial, or professional advice. Regulations change frequently, and individual circumstances vary.

Always: Verify information with official government sources and consult qualified professionals before making business decisions.
