Baselayer’s KYB Rating gives you an actionable, real-time score that reflects the quality of a business application. You can use it to instantly approve trusted businesses, surface edge cases, or block suspicious ones, without manual reviews or complicated risk logic.
Baselayer eliminates the guesswork in business verification by doing a holistic review of the company. You’ll move trusted businesses through faster, catch risky ones before they cause problems, and reduce the hours your team spends on manual reviews.
Most KYB tools hand you raw data and expect you to make sense of it yourself. Baselayer analyzes the data for you, scoring each business based on verified identity fields from sources like Secretary of State and IRS records. You get a simple, actionable score instead of scattered data points.
No, KYB Rating isn’t about financial health, it’s about identity confidence. It tells you whether a business is legitimate and verifiable, not whether they’ll repay a loan.
