@vroomnotary Hmmm . . .
The objective of this thread is delineating insights that are generously provided to assist you in performing your own due diligence prior to accepting Signing Orders (SOs) from a business entity that is new to you.
It’s a sample flowchart of how to best vet a potential client.
These efforts you expend performing due diligence are for your protection & help ensure you receive payment for the Professional Services you’ve successfully provided.

Of course, it’s up to you . . .
It’s always wise to research & vet a new client prior to providing a definitive confirmation to them for your initial Signing Order for them. A great start of research would begin within the Notary Cafe forums Search Function.
Most members find it difficult/nearly impossible to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of info available within the database.
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
Accessing the database to locate info about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .
