Collect structured company inputs
Capture legal name, country, tax ID, registration number and address as separate fields.
CUSTOMER ONBOARDING & KYB
Customer onboarding and KYB identity resolution.
Put identity evidence into the workflow.
Resolve the company behind a submitted VAT, EIN, or tax ID and provide a reliable legal-entity starting point for the wider KYB process.
START WITHApplicant company + country + identifierREVIEWResolved legal entity + KYB starting record
Design the control around your systems and policy.Define countries, inputs, match rules, exceptions, evidence and delivery before integration.
WHEN TO USE IT
Give compliance and operations teams one defensible company identity before they assess ownership, sanctions and risk.
Use the company match as structured evidence inside the operating workflow. Keep inputs, results, source, retrieval time and exceptions together.
- A business customer submits a VAT, EIN or registration number during onboarding.
- A trading name or group brand makes the contracting entity unclear.
- Several onboarding systems need the same canonical legal-company record.
THE WORKFLOW
Four steps. One clear result boundary.
Resolve the company record
Use multiple identifiers to identify the most likely registered legal entity.
Create the KYB starting record
Return the company identifiers, address, status, source and retrieval context.
Continue wider due diligence
Use the resolved entity for ownership, sanctions, PEP, adverse-media and policy checks.
WHAT YOU CAN REVIEW
The record, not just the number.
Fields vary by country and company. VATFind labels absent information instead of inventing a result.
- 01Canonical legal name
- The registered entity used as the basis for subsequent KYB checks.
- 02Company identifiers
- VAT or tax ID and registration number kept as separate fields.
- 03Jurisdiction and address
- Country, region and registered-address context for disambiguation.
- 04Source-reported status
- Company status and incorporation details when the source supplies them.
- 05Evidence provenance
- The source and retrieval time attached to the identity result.
READ THE RESULT CORRECTLY
Entity resolution is the start of KYB, not the whole decision.
VATFind establishes the company-record match. It does not by itself verify beneficial owners, controllers, sanctions exposure, operating activity, bank ownership or the applicant’s authority to act for the company.
