How it works

01

Send your query

Submit a business name with optional context like location or industry. The API handles partial matches and fuzzy searches automatically.

02

AI finds the match

Agents research across 265M+ verified businesses and 140+ registries to identify the exact entity, with an explainable confidence score.

03

Get rich business data

Receive a verified profile with legal name, addresses, domains, identifiers, and a stable entity ID, formatted for your workflows.

Why teams choose Entity Resolution

Built for the long tail

Resolves the two-person contractor and the freshly incorporated LLC, not just the Fortune 500: a 92%+ match rate where fuzzy matching drops to a coin flip.

Explainable confidence

Every match returns a confidence score and the evidence behind it, so you can set thresholds and audit any decision.

A stable entity ID

The resolved ID is the key to every other SavvyIQ API and stays stable across your systems, so a business resolved once stays resolved.

Registry-grounded answers

Matches are verified against 140+ official government registries, not inferred from a scraped dataset.

Resolve your first entity in minutes

Sign up, get API keys instantly, and make your first call with $25 in free credit. One request returns a verified entity, drawn from 140+ official registries.
