Depends what it's for exactly, but, due diligence is the key - which usually consists of:
Recommendations/ word of mouth
Googling
Companies House
Credit check

If all these come back positive then I spend.

Gareth has a point here.

Nathan, you didn't by any chance mean human agency as a collective, historical dynamic, rather than a function arising out of individual behavior?

I tend to find Wikipedia is a good tool.

All agencies, recruitment, design, marketing, etc, have to be good to survive long term

How do I find out personally? Word of mouth and by trying them. I trust my gut a lot, and take a lot of advice on suppliers from this very network. Bad gets ousted majority of the times
