What to do if you’re a victim of business identity theft
If you find evidence that someone is using your business’s identity for nefarious purposes, the next step is to take action. Immediately notify your bank and any creditors of what has occurred. They can help track down unauthorized transactions and also put a stop to any future ones. You should also report the issue to all of the business credit reporting agencies, including Dun & Bradstreet, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
Next, collect any documents that show fraudulent activity, including tax returns, bank statements, and emails, and notify local law enforcement officials. If the thieves made any changes with the Secretary of State or the IRS, you should immediately contact both to correct the issue. The IRS has procedures outlined on their website that inform business owners exactly what to do if this has happened to them.
