In October 2010 the company joined the Hotel Booking Agents Association, a trade body which brings together serviced apartment buyers and suppliers to develop and promote best practice.[2]
SilverDoor works with over 1,000 property partners[3] by marketing their serviced apartments on their website, financed by commission.

November 2016 saw the company expand further with the opening of its first international office in Singapore.
As of December 2017, SilverDoor formed part of the parent company, Habicus Group, together with its sister brands Citybase Apartments, Central London Apartments and Orbital Partnerships.
In May 2018, SilverDoor launched its very own online booking platform, Orbi, which enables clients to manage and customise their serviced apartment programme online[6].
