Why teams make the switch

What's broken with legacy providers

🐢

Days of waiting — not minutes

CSC Global and CT Corporation were built for a pre-internet era. Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days. When your deal closes Friday, that's not an option.

💸

$200+ per search adds up fast

A mid-size firm running 20 searches per month pays $4,000–$7,000 monthly to CSC or CT Corp. That's $50–$84K per year — often for a PDF with no analysis.

📞

Gatekept behind a sales process

Want access to CSC or CT Corporation? You'll need a demo, a proposal, and an annual contract. LienClear lets you run your first search in under 5 minutes — no calls, no contracts.

📄

Raw data, no intelligence

Legacy providers dump raw filing data. You still have to manually review every lien, check expiration dates, and spot conflicting collateral. LienClear's AI does that work for you.
