FAQ

Get answers to common questions about Lessie AI.

What is a business background check?

A business background check verifies the legitimacy, financial health, and reputation of a company you plan to do business with — typically a vendor, partner, supplier, or acquisition target. It pulls signals from public sources like company registries, securities filings, funding databases, news, and reviews. It is distinct from a consumer background check, which is regulated by the FCRA and covers individuals.

What data does Lessie use to run a B2B background check?

Lessie pulls from 100+ public B2B sources, including SEC EDGAR, Companies House, OpenCorporates, Crunchbase, PitchBook, LinkedIn, G2, news APIs, and court records. We never use FCRA-regulated consumer data, social-security records, or any non-public personal information. Every signal in a report is sourced and auditable.

How is Lessie different from Dun & Bradstreet?

Dun & Bradstreet is a credit-risk bureau focused on payment history and DUNS-based credit scores, typically sold as a 5-figure annual subscription. Lessie is a real-time public-source verification platform that covers legitimacy, funding, reputation, and risk signals — at pay-as-you-go pricing with a free tier. Most teams use Lessie for upfront verification and D&B (if needed) for credit underwriting.

Is Lessie subject to the FCRA?

No. Lessie is a B2B-only verification platform and does not produce consumer reports as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We do not check individuals for employment, tenancy, or credit purposes. All data we use is public-source business data, which keeps the workflow free of FCRA permissioned-purpose requirements and adverse-action obligations.

Does Lessie cover companies outside the US?

Yes. Lessie indexes 50M+ companies globally, with deep coverage of the US (SEC EDGAR, state registries), UK (Companies House), EU (national registries via OpenCorporates), and 140+ other jurisdictions. International coverage includes registration status, directors, and filing history wherever the underlying registry is public.

How much does Lessie cost?

Lessie offers a free tier for individual verification checks, with pay-as-you-go pricing for additional volume. Bulk-API and continuous-monitoring plans are priced per company under management — typically a fraction of legacy bureau pricing. Start free without a sales call.
