Compliance posture: records are scrubbed against the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry where applicable, and we provide DNC-cleaned files on request. TCPA compliance for outbound contact ultimately rests with the calling party — your firm's consent posture, dialer configuration, time-of-day rules, and disclosure scripts are what make a campaign compliant. We supply the data layer; your compliance team controls the call layer. Two-party recording-consent states (CA, FL, IL, MD, MA, MT, NH, PA, WA) require explicit caller-side disclosure before any call recording.
MCA partner network intake: when a business owner completes a working-capital application with any lender or broker in our partner network, the application record is ingested into the Owner Leads Direct database (subject to the operator's consent as captured in the lender's intake flow). The ingested record includes: owner name, business name, phone, email, revenue band (from the application), and — where the lender collected it — bank-statement summary and EIN. These application-sourced records carry the highest funding-intent signal in the database and command a premium in the individual-pack pricing tier.
