Use cases

KYB Entity Resolution Across Name Variants

A fintech onboarding team encounters a small business applicant whose operating name does not match any known legal registration. By cross-referencing the DBA field against the legal entity name and the state tax number, the analyst can confirm whether the business is legitimately registered in Illinois and resolve the correct legal identity behind the trade name.

Retail Merchant Portfolio Prospecting by Industry Segment

A payments company building a sales pipeline for a new merchant services product uses SIC codes to isolate specific retail categories, then maps registrants by ZIP code to prioritize outreach in high-density commercial corridors. The result is a ranked list of prospects with verified addresses and operating names.

Fraud Signal Detection for Address and Identity Reuse

A fraud analyst investigating suspicious merchant accounts checks whether multiple business names or DBA names share the same street address and state tax number, which can indicate shell activity, straw ownership, or tax registration abuse across nominally separate entities.
