BOISE, Idaho -- (Business Wire)
The Idaho
Secretary of State and Access
Idaho have introduced a new way for business owners in Idaho
to help prevent business identity theft using Access Idaho’s Business
Identity Monitoring application.
Corporate identity theft is a growing problem. Access Idaho worked with
the Idaho Secretary of State to make Idaho one of the first states to
offer this innovative application. It allows business owners to protect
their business’ identity from someone fraudulently adding their name to
a state government registry of businesses and then applying for a loan,
a credit, or making a large purchase in the name of the business.
“There are nearly 139,000 entities registered in Idaho,” said Secretary
of State Ben Ysursa. “While business owners and corporations attempt to
protect their entities and investments, it can be difficult to always
stay alert and informed to outside risks. This tool is designed to
eliminate some of those risks.”
Business owners can create an account through Access Idaho to track all
the businesses they wish to monitor. Access Idaho monitors business
name, address, status, type, officers, and annual report. Each time a
change is made on a business, the owner on record receives an email or
text notification within 24 hours of the change. Business owners can
also receive warning notifications when the annual report is not filed,
before the business is dissolved.
A $30 annual fee is assessed per registered company. The service accepts
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and e-check payments
through Access Idaho’s secure payment processor.
The Gem State’s online Business Identity Monitoring service operates
through Access Idaho in conjunction with the Idaho Secretary
of State's office.
