Questions
The ones worth answering plainly.
The report came back almost empty. Is that a bad sign?
No, and we will never present it as one. Plenty of long-established contractors leave almost no trace in public sources. A short report means we found little and nothing more than that. The sources-checked list shows you exactly which sources were asked and what each returned, so you can see the difference between a quiet record and a failed lookup.
Do you score or rank contractors?
No. There is no score, grade, rating or risk band anywhere in a report, and no field in our output schema capable of holding one. That is a structural property rather than a style choice — a test walks the schema and fails the build if a judgment field appears.
Is this a background check on the owner?
No. The subject is the business. Names appear only where a public record published them with the role that makes them a fact about the business — a licensing board’s personnel, a State Business Registry filing’s officers. Home addresses, personal phone numbers, ages and dates of birth are excluded, and so is anything a vendor inferred.
Is this a consumer report? Can I use it for a credit decision?
It is commercial entity verification and reputation — whether a business is real and what public records say about it. It is not a consumer report and is not an input to credit decisions, and we do not frame it as one.
How current is the data?
Some sources are live; some are copies of published files we refresh on a schedule. Every item drawn from a published file carries the date that file was published, so you can see its freshness rather than assume it. Where a permit jurisdiction’s feed stops in March, the report says March.
What happens when two businesses share a name?
The record is labeled possible — verify and linked to its source, and never stated as a finding about your subject. No similarity score promotes a name-only match. For bankruptcies we go further: a name goes on one only when something beyond the name corroborates it.
Which states do you cover?
California and Florida, both end to end — each state’s own State Business Registry filings and its own contractor licensing board, alongside the federal and national sources that apply everywhere.
Do I need an account?
No. You give an email, enter the code we send, and run a report. There is no password and nothing to set up. An optional profile page exists afterwards and every field on it but the email is optional.
