Overview
Connect to a real business, instantly.
One query returns the canonical record directly from authoritative sources. Your customer types one field; Palm surfaces the right entity in real time.
Find your business
Start typing to find your business name and automatically fill the additional information.
Why Palm
The source of truth on any business.
Every other data vendor sells you a copy that was fresh last quarter. Palm pulls from the primary source. The same registries your lawyers and regulators use.

Data
Eight fields. Zero data entry.
Every search result returns structured, authoritative data — ready to pre-fill your forms and skip the manual entry step entirely.
Palm ID
Stable unique identifier — reuse it across search, detail, verify, and monitor without re-querying.
Names
The registered legal name exactly as it appears in the state filing, not how the customer typed it.
Entity Type
LLC, Corporation, LP, Non-Profit — normalized to a consistent schema across all 50 states.
Web enrichment
Match website to business to owners. Pull everything you need in one simple action, then verifying after.
Formation Date
Original incorporation date from the state record — useful for seasoning checks in lending and underwriting.
Jurisdictions
Where the entity formed and where it's registered to operate — two different concepts, both returned.
Status
Active, dissolved, suspended — straight from the registry, so you never run KYB on a dead entity.
Principal Address
Registered principal place of business — pre-fill your address fields and skip asking the customer.
API Reference
Get started in less than 5 minutes.
Palm's type-ahead search reduces your operational cost and limits customer inputs to exactly what's real. Connecting to real businesses fast. Keeping fraud out.
