Ensuring Business Integrity Through Meticulous Verification Processes

Verification Process Details

The verification process is executed as follows after collecting the Tax Identification Number (TIN), company name, and business address from the entity:

  1. Business Name and Tax ID Verification:

    • Verification of Existence: The business's existence is verified by matching the provided Tax Identification Number (TIN) and company name with records in national and state business registries.

    • Fuzzy Matching: Utilizing fuzzy matching algorithms, minor discrepancies in the business name due to spelling variations, abbreviations, or common typographical errors are accommodated. This ensures a higher accuracy rate in matching the company name against official records, enhancing the reliability of the verification process.

    • Verification Outcome: If the TIN and company name match the records, the business is considered verified. This match confirms the legal status and legitimacy of the business entity.

  2. Additional Details from Secretary of State (SOS):

    • Legal Entity Name: The official legal name of the business is confirmed as registered.

    • Registration Date: The date on which the business was registered is provided.

    • Entity Type: Information regarding the type of entity (e.g., LLC, Corporation) is confirmed.

    • State of Registration: The state in which the business is registered is verified.

    • Corporate Officers: Details of the corporate officers are provided, listing key individuals associated with the business.

    • Active Status: The current active or inactive status of the business is confirmed, indicating operational status.

  3. Address Verification:

    • Known Address Verification: The provided business address is verified against public and proprietary databases to ensure it is a legitimate and operational location associated with the business.
