Overview
Understanding the names associated with a business is an important part of the due diligence process. This is because a business may register as your customer or partner with their "doing business as" (DBA) instead of their legal name. When uncovering critical details about a business, such as its litigation history, the information is almost always filed under the entity's legal name.
The Middesk product helps surface names associated with the entity, as well as verifies both legal and DBA names submitted with the report request. Please note that Middesk will only use the DBA for the Watchlist screening and not to search for the entity when verifying the identity report. The following Tasks will be surfaced for both the legal and DBA name:
| status | label | sub_label |
|---|---|---|
| Success | Match identified to the submitted Business Name | Verified |
| Warning | Similar match identified to the submitted Business Name | Similar Match |
| Failure | Unable to identify a match to the submitted Business Name | Unverified |
| Failure | We believe the submitted TIN is associated with “name” | Alternate Name |
