Every business, every state.
The same trust risks follow you everywhere.

Whether you're in Manhattan or Main Street, the same patterns repeat — contractors who vanish, employees who steal, partners whose story doesn't add up. Two minutes of due diligence can prevent months of damage.

The contractor who took your deposit and disappeared

Hiring contractors without verification is one of the most common small business mistakes. They take the deposit, start the job, then vanish — leaving you with the bill, the mess, and no legal recourse.

Contractor fraud costs U.S. small businesses billions every year

The employee who left with more than a paycheck

Hiring fast without checking is a gamble every time. Whether it's inventory, cash, client data, or access credentials — the pattern is the same. Someone you trusted took advantage of that trust.

Employee theft accounts for 30% of all small business inventory losses

The business partner whose story didn't hold up

A bad partnership can be worse than no partnership at all. When the address traces back somewhere else, the name appears on a watchlist, or the identity simply doesn't match — that's not coincidence.

Business identity fraud costs U.S. companies over $3 billion annually

Small business owners who've learned
to check before they trust.

From landlords to lenders to shop owners — these are the people who've built verification into their everyday process.

Landlords & property managers

Whether you're renting commercial space, hiring a property manager, or selling to a private buyer — a quick lookup tells you who you're actually dealing with before you hand over keys or sign a lease.

Screen tenants Verify property managers Check buyers

Small business owners & service providers

Shops, agencies, independent contractors, and solo operators all face the same problem: you need to trust people fast and can't afford to be wrong. ClearCheck gives you a confidence check before you commit.

Verify new hires Screen subcontractors Check business partners

Private lenders & credit providers

Lending to someone you don't fully know is a calculated risk. ClearCheck lets you verify identity, check watchlist matches, and confirm the person in front of you is who they say they are — before money moves.

SSN trace Watchlist screening Identity verification

Six checks. One report. Two minutes. Done.

You get the full picture — not a surface-level search. Every report combines six independent data checks into one clear, plain-English summary.

Criminal records search

Searches national court and criminal databases for records matching the provided name and any state or county criteria you supply.

SSN trace & address history

Verifies the Social Security Number is real and tied to the name they gave you — plus every address ever linked to it.

Watchlist & sanctions screening

Cross-references global watchlists, PEP databases, and U.S. sanctions lists for any matching records.

Phone & email identity check

Confirms the phone and email actually match the name they gave you — or flags it when something doesn't line up.

Digital footprint review

Shows which apps, platforms, and services are linked to the email address. More data points, clearer picture.

Social profile references

Surfaces linked social accounts to check name consistency and catch any public-facing identity discrepancies.

Final verdict

Every report ends with a plain-English result: Clear, Review, or Flag — no guesswork, no jargon. You know exactly what to do next.

See what comes back when you look someone up.

Same structure as a real report. Fictional names. This is exactly what lands in your dashboard — clean, readable, and actionable.

"I manage rental properties across two states. Before ClearCheck I was relying on Google — which isn't enough. Now I run a lookup on everyone before any lease or management agreement. Found two name mismatches in the first month alone."

"We hired a subcontractor last year who had prior fraud on his record. We didn't know. It cost us. Now ClearCheck is the very first thing I do before any new contractor relationship, no matter how small the job."

"I run a small agency and work with freelancers constantly. The first time we ran ClearCheck and got a name mismatch back, I realized how many times we'd skipped this step and simply gotten lucky. Not anymore."

Things people usually ask.

Does ClearCheck work in all 50 states?
Yes. ClearCheck searches national databases and public records across all 50 states. Coverage depth varies by state based on available court and public records data per jurisdiction, but you can run a lookup on any person in the U.S.
Is this the same as a formal employment background check?
No — and that distinction matters. ClearCheck is a people search and identity verification tool for personal due diligence, not an FCRA-regulated employment screening service. It is designed for trust decisions you make personally — not for employment, credit, housing, or insurance decisions.
What information do I need to run a lookup?
You can start with just a name plus a phone number or email. Adding an SSN significantly improves the depth of the address history and identity trace. The more identifiers you provide, the more complete the report.
Is there a monthly commitment?
No. The Single Report is a one-time purchase valid for 365 days. Monthly plans can be cancelled any time — no contracts, no lock-in.
What does the final verdict mean?
Every report ends with Clear, Review, or Flag. Clear means no significant records were found. Review means something came back that warrants a closer look — such as a name mismatch or civil court record. Flag means a more serious match was returned. The report explains exactly what was found in plain English.
Is ClearCheck an employment background check service?
No. ClearCheck is a people search and identity verification tool for personal due diligence — not an FCRA-regulated employment screening service. It cannot be used as the basis for employment, credit, housing, or insurance decisions. It's designed for small business owners, landlords, and private individuals who want to make smarter trust decisions before entering any personal or business relationship.

Every business decision starts with trust.
Make sure yours is informed.

Two minutes. One report. Run your first lookup before the next stranger asks you to take them at their word.
