ValueStar examines local service companies in industries such as auto and home repair, professional services, and health care and rates them on its Web site. It also publishes a directory of its rated companies twice a year. Local businesses pay a fee for the certification process, which surveys customer satisfaction, examines whether the firms have proper licenses and insurance, and reports on any complaints that have been lodged against them. The company has rated 1 million businesses in eight major metropolitan areas. High-tech incubator eCompanies owns nearly 20% of ValueStar.
