We verify every company before it joins.
Business registration
+–We review corporate records and legal status before onboarding.
We confirm the entity is a real, operating business: current registration documents, legal standing, and where applicable CAGE and DUNS identifiers. Shell entities and lapsed registrations do not get through.
Member verification
+–Beneficial ownership is screened to rule out hidden risk.
We identify the people who own and control the company, screen them against sanctions and debarment lists, and confirm there is no hidden party behind the entity you would be transacting with.
Good standing
+–Every company is monitored against sanctions lists.
Standing is not a one-time check. Members are monitored against sanctions and watchlists for the life of the account, and a new flag can suspend marketplace access immediately.
How onboarding works.
A flat $100 per month. No fees or markups. The membership is how we keep the marketplace trusted, with more capabilities and tiers coming soon.
Frequently asked.
Empirium is restricted to U.S. commercial and government buyers, alongside vetted domestic and allied international suppliers. We enforce strict compliance with NDAA procurement mandates and DFARS supply chain restrictions.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding foreign adversaries. No company tied to a prohibited nation, or appearing on any U.S. covered entity, BIS, or SDN list, is permitted to access or trade on the platform.
Yes, but onboarding is strictly limited to qualified suppliers operating within TAA-compliant (Trade Agreements Act) and allied nations (e.g., NATO, major non-NATO allies, key partner nations on a case-by-case basis). All international suppliers must pass rigorous vetting to meet domestic supply chain regulations. All buyers on the platform remain exclusively U.S.-based for the time being.
Every member undergoes a KYC/KYB verification process prior to onboarding, supported by ongoing supply chain risk management tools. Compliance profiles are screened regularly; any new regulatory, sanction, or debarment flag is subject to review and may result in immediate marketplace restriction.
Empirium provides the framework for suppliers to submit and host their NDAA self-attestations (including Section 889 requirements). While our screening processes actively restrict known prohibited entities from the platform, Empirium does not act as an independent certifying body. Buyers retain the ultimate responsibility for verifying that specific procurement items meet their internal regulatory mandates.
