FAQ

Common Questions

Have a question about a specific company or record? Contact us.

What Does Business and Executive Screening Include?

Scope is set by what you need. It can include entity verification, identifying ownership and principals, civil, criminal and bankruptcy court records, liens, judgments and UCC filings, regulatory and licensing records, and sanctions and watchlist checks.

Do You Report From Databases?

No. We may use aggregated or private databases as a supporting data point, but we never report from them. Every result is verified and reported directly from the source.

Is Sanctions Screening Just an OFAC Search?

No. OFAC is part of it, and checks can also cover other U.S. and international sanctions, restricted and denied party, and watchlist sources selected for your request. A possible name match is reviewed against available identifiers before it’s reported.

Can You Screen the Company and Its Key People Together?

Yes. Many requests cover the business and its owners, officers or other key people at the same time, so the full picture comes back in one set of results.

Can the Scope Be Customized?

Yes. Tell us the names, jurisdictions and look-back you need, and we’ll recommend the right searches and follow up with pricing.
