Business profile

Business Profile gives you a complete view of a business's history with your organization, all in one place in the Dashboard. When you open a business, you can see the addresses with Google Maps and Street View, NAICS classification, application velocity, market-wide loan inquiries, and associated bank accounts. Everything your underwriting team needs to make a confident lending decision is available in a single view.

Tip

To access the same data programmatically, see Business History API.

This page covers the following sections:

When to use it

Use Business Profile when you are working in the Ocrolus Dashboard and need to:

  • Review a repeat borrower: A merchant has submitted more than one application and you need a single view of their full history with your organization before making a decision.
  • Verify a business location: You want to confirm a business operates where it claims to using Google Maps and Street View, without leaving the Dashboard.
  • Spot stacking risk quickly: The Application velocity widget gives you an at-a-glance count of applications across six time windows, so you can identify unusual borrowing patterns without pulling a report.
  • Check market-wide loan activity: You need to see how many times a business has appeared in loan applications across the Ocrolus network, not just your organization.
  • Audit a borrower's document history: You need to find a specific document or statement across multiple Books without opening each one individually.
  • Override an incorrect industry classification: The NAICS code on file for a business is wrong and you need to correct it before it affects downstream decisioning.

Navigate to Business Profile

The Ocrolus Dashboard offers two views: the Books view (the default) and the Businesses view (Business Profile).

Step 1 — Switch to the Businesses view

Log in to the Ocrolus Dashboard. In the left navigation bar, click Businesses. The Dashboard switches from the application-level Book list to the business-level view.

Step 2 — Find and select a business

The Businesses page lists every business your organization has submitted to Ocrolus. Each row shows the business name, date of the most recent Book, date the business was first created in Ocrolus, the business's state, and the NAICS industry classification.

To find a specific business, use the search bar at the top right. To sort the list, click the Created column header. Click any business name to open its Business Overview page.

Step 3 — Rename a business (optional)

If a business's name needs correction, click the kebab menu (three dots) on the right side of the business's row and select Rename business. Enter the corrected name and click Submit. The updated name applies across all Books associated with that business in your organization.

The Addresses section lists all addresses on file, with Map and Street View tabs for each location. The Industry section shows the NAICS code and description, with an option to override the classification across your entire organization.

The Bank accounts section lists all accounts pulled from statements uploaded across all applications.
