🔍Any B2B finance company has to do it in their onboarding - the EIN Search. There's a few key methods to doing your business verification. For a full "how to" follow the link in the comments: 1) Use a database service like Middesk, which simplifies the process to a single query. Pros: It's easy and data is checked, normalized, and cleaned before getting to you. It's also linked to other data sources for a comprehensive business profile. Cons: We don't see any 😉 2) Manually search state and federal registries for EIN. Look up the EIN in their search tools. Pros: Straight to the source for business registries Cons: 50+ websites to look at, inconsistent data thoroughness, no cross linking with other sources of information (bankruptcies, watch lists etc). 3) Search SEC Filings from the EDGAR system Pros: Meets standards for finding EIN Cons: Only works if it's a public company 4) Contact a Credit Bureau Pros: Any individual can request a business credit report. Cons: Costs money on a per-report basis, and many credit reports do not contain EIN, so it's unreliable.
