Business KYB
Forest orchestrates KYB from registry lookup to UBO discovery to ongoing monitoring. Underwriting and compliance teams work the same case across your existing stack.
Forest is where your underwriting and compliance teams own business KYB. Registry data streams in, UBOs surface, screening runs, decisions land on the same case. Cross-jurisdiction by design.
UBO discovery, surfaced automatically
Your AI agents parse incorporation documents and follow ownership chains across jurisdictions, surfacing UBOs in trusts, holding companies, and nested structures.
Re-verification on ownership change
When ownership changes (new UBOs, restructuring, shareholder updates), your team launches Forest's re-verification workflow on the affected business. Every check, every decision logged.
Plug into your KYB stack
Forest connects to Dotfile, Ondorse, Sumsub, and data infrastructure like Topograph (100+ government registries), ComplyAdvantage via datasources, MCP connectors, and direct APIs.
Underwriting and compliance on one case
KYB serves two teams. Forest gives compliance and underwriting shared visibility on the same case with field-level RBAC. No email threads, no Excel exports.
AI agents for B2B decisions
Your AI agents propose the UBO map and risk score with the evidence chain attached: registry source, document reference, decision logic. Your team approves or overrides.
Every KYB decision in your database
Every UBO surfacing, every screening hit, every approval logs with the full causal chain inside your infrastructure. Filtered exports for 6AMLD, ACPR, DORA, GDPR in one click.

Forest surfaces the UBOs that matter
Forest's AI agents parse ownership chains across jurisdictions, surfacing UBOs buried in trusts, holding companies, and nested structures, with the full evidence chain.
Underwriting and compliance on the same case
Compliance handles regulatory. Underwriting handles risk. Forest gives both teams shared visibility with field-level RBAC. Decisions are coordinated, not chained through email or Excel.
Forest tracks ownership changes after onboarding
Forest monitors registries for shareholder updates, restructurings, and new UBOs, triggering re-verification automatically. KYB stops being point-in-time, starts being continuous.
Vendor agnostic

Book a conversation with a forest expert
What is a KYB workflow on Forest?
A KYB workflow is the end-to-end process to verify a business: registry lookup, document review, UBO discovery, sanctions screening, risk scoring, underwriting and compliance approval, audit logging. On Forest, every step is a configurable task and every action logs to the case.
How is Forest different from Dotfile, Ondorse, or Sumsub?
Forest is not a KYB provider, it is the operational layer above them. Dotfile, Ondorse, Sumsub verify businesses and run KYB checks. Forest handles what happens around them: UBO mapping across providers, dual-team workflows, screening hit triage, audit trail, AI agent governance.
How does Forest surface UBOs across complex ownership?
Your AI agents parse incorporation documents and follow ownership chains across jurisdictions. Forest combines registry data (Pappers, Companies House, Infogreffe, OpenCorporates) with provider outputs (Dotfile, Ondorse) to surface UBOs buried in trusts, holding companies, and nested structures.
How does Forest handle ongoing KYB monitoring?
On Forest, your team configures KYB re-verification workflows triggered by ownership change, shareholder updates, or scheduled review. Forest surfaces the affected business as a case with the reason logged. KYB stops being point-in-time and becomes continuous.
Can I keep my existing KYB provider?
Yes. Forest integrates with Dotfile, Ondorse, Sumsub, Topograph, ComplyAdvantage and most major KYB providers and registries via datasources, MCP connectors, or direct APIs. You add Forest as the operational layer above your stack.
How do AI agents fit into KYB?
Your AI agents propose the UBO map, score risk, and draft underwriting notes with the evidence chain attached. On Forest, every AI agent action runs with human-in-the-loop approval where regulation requires, under the same RBAC and audit as your humans.
How do you ensure business data never leaves our environment?
The Forest backend runs inside your infrastructure, alongside your databases. Business and UBO data travels to a provider only at the point where its service is called, and the response logs back to the case. Data stays in your systems of record.
