Limitations
Coverage varies by state — Delaware, California, New York most complete. Some states have limited electronic registry access
From step: US Company Data
What to do instead: For states with limited coverage, supplement with the state's Secretary of State website directly
Name and ticker searches find SEC filings mentioning the query, which can belong to another company, particularly for private companies without filings. Low-confidence matches return an error by default; accepted matches report exact or high `match_confidence`.
From step: US Company Data
What to do instead: Supply the CIK directly for an exact, unambiguous lookup. To receive the best-effort match for an unresolved name anyway, pass allow_low_confidence=true and gate on the returned is_exact_match / match_confidence fields yourself.
Does not include privately held financial data — only publicly filed information
From step: US Company Data
What to do instead: Request privately held financial information directly from the company.
Secretary of State filings may lag 1-5 business days behind actual filing date
From step: US Company Data
What to do instead: For time-critical checks, compare the filing_date in the response against SEC EDGAR for publicly traded companies
Sanctions lists updated daily from OFAC, EU, and UN sources — newly sanctioned entities may take up to 24 hours to appear
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: For same-day compliance, subscribe to OFAC's RSS feed and cross-reference against today's additions
Name matching uses fuzzy logic — common names may produce false positives. Always verify flagged results
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: Filter results by match confidence score and verify flagged entities against the primary sanctions list PDF
Covers entities with LEI registration via GLEIF — only ~2.5 million entities worldwide have LEIs, primarily financial institutions
From step: LEI Lookup
What to do instead: If no LEI is found, search by company name and jurisdiction; consider that smaller entities may not have an LEI
