Business Cases vs Business Profiles
Last updated: April 29, 2025
Business Profiles: Comprehensive, Ongoing Verification
Business Profiles are ideal when you require in-depth, multi-stage due diligence on a business.
Why Choose Business Profiles:
π Multiple Checks & Monitoring: Perform business lookups, sanction screenings, document analysis β all across multiple stages.
UBO & Related Persons: Add Ultimate Beneficial Owners or stakeholders and run KYC & sanctions checks.
Document Uploads: Store and review uploaded business documents.
Risk Scoring: Profiles are assigned dynamic risk scores.π Compliance Tools: Includes access to tools like Compliance Copilot.
π Registry Access: Purchase verified documents directly from government registries.
Recommended When:
You need ongoing monitoring or multiple checks.
You want to track and store business documents.
Youβre verifying complex business structures or multiple individuals.
Business Cases: Quick, One-Time Checks
Business Cases are best suited for ad-hoc, one-time checks without ongoing monitoring.
Why Choose Business Cases:
Single Check: Ideal for one-time verification actions.
No Monitoring or UBO Additions: Lacks extended KYC and compliance features.π No Document Uploads: Simpler process for quick turnarounds.
Recommended When:
You need to verify a business once with no future follow-up.
No related individuals or documents are involved.
Simplicity and speed are the priority.
π How They Work Together
Each check performed within a Business Profile is technically a Business Case behind the scenes.
The Business Profile acts as a centralised dashboard to organise, manage, and monitor all the linked Business Cases β perfect for layered, long-term compliance.
