Onboard today gives you one core capability: Search the Registry - Search 67M businesses in the network by name, jurisdiction, or location.

Palm aggregates registration data from every US Secretary of State office into a single searchable index. Instead of querying 50 individual state databases, you search once and get back normalized, structured results.
