Use cases

Capture new-business demand. Manage counterparty risk.

Teams in sales, lending, insurance, professional services and procurement use Companyvisor to act on company lifecycle events before anyone else.

Sales & lead generation

For B2B sales teams, agencies, banks, payroll and SaaS providers.

Formations

A newly formed company needs a bank account, insurance, accounting, payroll, a website, software and suppliers, usually within its first 90 days. Reach them while they are still deciding.

Why it works

  • Reach businesses before competitors who rely on stale lists
  • Target by industry and territory with category and city filters
  • Registered addresses for direct mail campaigns

Typical workflow

  • Webhook creates a lead in your CRM for every match
  • Territory rules route it to the right rep
  • Weekly CSV feeds your outbound sequences

Credit & risk monitoring

For lenders, credit managers, factoring and fintech teams.

Insolvencies

By the time an insolvency shows up in a quarterly review, the loss has already happened. Watch your whole book continuously and act the day a case is filed.

Why it works

  • Watchlists cover every borrower and customer
  • Filing notices in time to file proofs of claim
  • Industry and regional distress trends for underwriting

Typical workflow

  • Sync your customer list to a watchlist via the API
  • Webhook opens a case in your risk system
  • Credit lines frozen automatically pending review

Insurance

For agents, brokers, MGAs and carriers.

Formations + insolvencies

New businesses need general liability, workers' comp and commercial auto cover, often before they can start trading. Existing policyholders that become insolvent change your risk exposure overnight.

Growth

  • New contractors, trucking firms and restaurants by territory
  • Industry categories mapped to your appetite

Risk

  • Portfolio watchlist for policyholders
  • Early warning of premium and claims exposure

Legal & accounting

For CPA firms, bookkeepers, business attorneys and restructuring advisors.

Formations + insolvencies

Founders look for an accountant and a lawyer in the weeks after they incorporate. When things go wrong, creditors and debtors both need advisors quickly. Companyvisor tells you about both moments.

New clients

  • Local formations by city for community firms
  • Tax registration, bookkeeping and compliance offers

Restructuring

  • Chapter 11 filings by industry and district
  • Creditor representation opportunities

Supply chain & vendors

For procurement, vendor management and operations teams.

Insolvencies

A supplier's bankruptcy can halt production, void warranties and strand prepaid orders. Upload your vendor list once and let Companyvisor watch it for you.

Why it works

  • Continuous monitoring, not annual vendor reviews
  • Time to qualify alternative suppliers
  • Evidence for vendor-risk and compliance audits

Typical workflow

  • Vendor master synced nightly to a watchlist
  • Alerts go to the category manager by email
  • Webhook updates the supplier's risk tier in your ERP

Investors & market research

Formations + insolvencies

Business formation and failure rates are among the earliest signals of where an economy is heading. Slice them by industry, state and city to find emerging clusters and pockets of distress.
