Service Area Business
Also known as: SAB · service-area business
A service-area business (SAB) serves customers at their locations rather than at a storefront, so it hides its address and defines the areas it travels to. SABs face stricter scrutiny and are among the harder profiles to verify and keep compliant.
What this means for your profile
Showing an address on an SAB, or using a non-genuine one, is a leading cause of SAB suspensions.
