Included in License Look-Up
✔️ TIN Validation
Cross-check the business’s tax ID against its registered name. If they don’t match, we run additional lookups to find any alternate legal names.
✔️ Business Name Confirmation
Verify that the provided business name aligns with official Secretary of State records.
✔️ Address Verification
Confirm that the business address matches records from the Secretary of State, NPI, or FMCSA, ensuring location legitimacy.
✔️ People & Roles Search
Identify all linked owners, officers, and key personnel by pulling data from each relevant state filing.
✔️ Secretary of State Filings Check
Collect and review both domestic and international filings tied to the business for a full picture of its legal standing.
✔️ Watchlist Screening
Scan the company and its associated individuals against U.S. government security and defense watchlists (OFAC, DDTC, BIS, ISN) to flag any restrictions.
