Middesk is a business intelligence (BI) software used to onboarded clients working in three primary verticals — Fintech, Credit Reporting, and Business Marketplaces. Middesk claims to empower compliance teams with engineering resources who otherwise would not have the resources available.
Middesk is also an identity platform that automates business verification and underwrites decisions. The company's platform also provides data on businesses and notifies service providers of changes to its customer base allowing them to form an accurate picture of their customers and offer the critical products their customers need to establish, operate, and maintain their businesses.
Middesk's tools include:
Tax ID and Name Verification: ensures that when customers are onboarded, an accurate legal name associated with a Tax ID is verified with the IRS and kept on file to save time and avoid fines when filing.
Secretary of State Filings: Helps clients understand registration history in order to stay in good standing and maintain active status in states where they have employees, offices, or significant portions of revenue. Each state is independent of the next and there is no single repository to verify that a business is an active business.
Website Validation: Automatically surfaces key information and content about web presence, flagging high-risk and relevant information.
Websites are commonly used as a proxy for understanding the legitimacy, nature of business for a customer, and risk profile of a customer.
