Verify a business exists and is operating

BUSINESS_EXISTS_AND_OPERATING — in scope for verification. Indicative ~$4 and minutes when fulfillment opens; cached 30 days.

Paid verification is not open yet and no payment is taken. The free feasibility check below works today and will tell you whether your claim is in scope.

What it settles

That a named business exists, is currently operating rather than closed or dormant, and that the contact details you hold for it are valid.

When an agent should call it

• Before sending money, goods, or a customer to a business seen only online.
• Before relying on a supplier, contractor, or vendor found in search results.
• When a directory listing looks stale and the decision downstream is expensive.

Evidence returned

Registry and listing cross-checks across independent sources, plus captured source snapshots. The bundle states the method used, the sources consulted, and a confidence derived from how well those sources agree — not a default high number.

Findings are reported as observations: "listed as dissolved in the state registry as of 4 Aug 2026", "two sources give different trading addresses". Never as characterisations like "scam" or "not legitimate".

Call it

check_feasibility({
  claim_description: "Is Bright Star Plumbing LLC in Nashville still operating?",
  location: { text: "Nashville, TN" },
  downstream_action: "dispatch a customer booking"
})

The feasibility check is free, needs no auth, and never errors. If the claim is not something we can settle, it says so and tells you what would help instead.

Limits

This is a desk verification of a business. It does not confirm anything about the people who run it — owner identity, background, and employment are refused as a matter of policy. It also does not confirm the physical state of premises; nobody is sent to look.
