How it works

You choose the depth, and you can change it later. On every tier, an investigator reviews what gets flagged before it reaches you.

PLATFORM FEATURES

One platform to order, track, and act on every case

Risk Levels

See Which Subjects Need a Closer Look First

Every subject is rated high, moderate, or complete, so you know where to start before you open a single record.

Each report section carries its own rating, so you can see where the risk actually sits
Alert thresholds are set with you, so a flag reflects your own risk standard

Audit Trail

Trace Every Finding Back to the Record

Each search lists the sources it touched, and every review decision is logged on the case.

Findings in the summary link straight to the record and source document behind them
Clear a finding or leave a note, and the case records who did it and when

Message Investigator

Talk Directly to the Investigator on Your Case

No ticket queue and no account manager relay. You are talking to the person who ran the searches.

Ask about a finding, request a document, or add context the investigator should have
One thread per case, grouped by subject, by a specific record, or by the case in general

Subject details and prior results carry forward, so nothing needs to be entered twice
An investigator picks up where the automated search left off and pulls records at the source
BusinessScreen upgrade window offering Advanced or Deep Dive for a Preliminary Report, with no re-entry required.
Continuous Monitoring

Stay Current on a Subject Without Reordering

Automated re-checks at configurable intervals with alerts when new records appear.

Choose a re-check schedule of monthly, quarterly, twice a year, or annually
New records trigger an alert by email, on your dashboard, or through a webhook
BusinessScreen monitoring view listing monitored subjects, re-check dates, and a new record alert.
Share Order Link

Let Subjects Submit Their Own Information

Useful when the subject has information you don't, or when they're covering the cost.

Custom fields and expiration dates keep submissions structured and timely
Add payment collection at submission when the subject is covering the cost
BusinessScreen share order link setup beside the form the subject completes, with payment at submission.
API Integration

Programmatic Orders, Reports, and Webhooks

Roughly five to six hours to integrate with our team's support, sandbox included.

Submit orders one at a time or in bulk, and pull finished reports into your own system
Webhooks send status updates and results as soon as a report completes
BusinessScreen API and integrations screen with sandbox and production keys, webhook events, and recent deliveries.
TIERED DEPTH MODEL

Match Your Diligence Depth to Your Risk Level

Not every deal needs the same level of scrutiny. Our tiered model lets you start with the level that fits and escalate when circumstances change, without resubmitting information or paying full price again.
