Checking an ASP: the list, and the questions
Accredited providers are listed by the Ministry of Finance under its e-invoicing initiative. Accreditation covers transmission and validation — not your accounting.

Where the list is
The Ministry of Finance publishes the accredited service providers as part of the e-invoicing programme.
Vendor blogs mirror it, sometimes out of date. For a decision, use the Ministry's page.
What accreditation means
The provider is recognised to connect to the Peppol network and validate invoices against PINT AE.
It does not mean the provider reads your invoices into your ledger.
Questions worth asking
Which formats do you accept and validate — PINT AE only, or UBL as well?
What happens to an invoice that fails validation: rejected at source or queued?
What reports do we get, and can we export the original files?
The gap to plan for
Transmission is solved by the provider; reading incoming invoices as data is not.
Budget for that step explicitly, or it lands on the accounting team as manual work.
Frequently asked
Is the cheapest ASP enough?
If your issue is only transmission, often yes. If you also need incoming data, check that part separately.
Can we switch providers later?
Technically the network is interoperable; commercially check contract length and export options first.
