3) Search the internet. Just type in the web site name and/or the company name without the www and see what happens. If anyone has had trouble with them you will find out quickly.

4) Search the better business bureau web site, at www.BBB.org for complaint history.
5) Contact the Chamber of Commerce in the city or town where the business claims to be located and ask about them. Even if they are not a Chamber Member, someone should be able to give you some idea about them.
