What is Business Identity Theft?
Business identity theft, or corporate or commercial identity theft, occurs when a business's identity is used to transact business and establish lines of credit with banks and/or vendors.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, each year, one out of every 10 people is a victim of identity theft. Like consumer identity theft, business identity theft can result in potentially ruinous consequences. Both the business and people associated with the business can be hurt by this crime.
