Acme Logistics LLC (Delaware) - KYB Screening: Entity Not Resolved, No Sanctions or Adverse Media Hits
Executive Summary
I could not tie "Acme Logistics LLC, Delaware" to one verifiable legal entity, so the clean screening result applies to the name only and the file should not be approved on it. A search of the Delaware company register in OpenCorporates for "Acme Logistics LLC" returned zero companies, and a Middesk business list search for "Acme Logistics" also returned zero records (both run 5 October 2026; tool results, not web pages). Several unrelated businesses share the name, in different states, so identity must be confirmed with the customer before any decision.
Sanctions and adverse media screening of the name "Acme Logistics LLC" through ComplyAdvantage (5 October 2026, fuzziness 0.5) returned no match, zero hits, with sanctions, PEP and all adverse-media categories in scope. No owners or officers could be identified, so no individual screening was possible. Provisional risk rating: MEDIUM (unresolved identity). The sector (trucking and logistics) and the jurisdiction (Delaware, US) do not on their own raise the rating. The identity gap and unknown ownership do.
Which "Acme Logistics" is this? Several namesakes, none confirmed as Delaware
Search results show at least four businesses using the name. I found nothing linking them to each other, and none is shown to be a Delaware LLC. The last three rows rest on search-result listings I did not open.
| Candidate | Location and detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Acme Logistics (acmelogistics.com) | 327 West Phillips Road, Suite A, Greer, SC 29650; offers truckload, courier, brokerage and warehousing | Company website |
| Acme Logistics LLC (motor carrier record) | P.O. Box 12306, Wilmington, NC 28405 | OpenGov US |
| Acme Logistics, LLC trading as USA Textile | Registered with the Colorado Department of State | Datalog |
| Acme Logistics LLC (trucking company) | Owensboro, Kentucky | Quick Transport Solutions |
These are search-result titles and listings, not verified registry extracts. A Delaware LLC can operate from another state, so any of them could be the customer. The Greer, SC firm is the only one whose website I opened (homepage only). People Data Labs lists it as a private truck transportation company with 11 to 50 employees (6 counted profiles) and an inferred revenue band of $10M to $25M, with no founding date (PDL enrichment, 5 October 2026). Its homepage names no owners or officers and no legal entity form; the About and Contact pages were not reviewed. I did not confirm it is an LLC, and the Delaware registry search did not find it.
KEY TAKEAWAY: The submitted name matches several businesses; none can be confirmed as the Delaware entity.
Screening results: nothing found, but only for the name
- Sanctions: No match, zero hits for "Acme Logistics LLC" (ComplyAdvantage business sanctions search, 5 October 2026). The search covered the provider's sanction-type results; I did not independently confirm which lists (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) it includes.
- Adverse media: No match, zero hits in the ComplyAdvantage adverse media search. I did not run a separate news search, so coverage in local press is untested.
- PEP and individuals: Not performed. No beneficial owners, managers or officers were found in any source.
- Registry and tax checks: Delaware registry (via OpenCorporates) and Middesk returned nothing. No EIN was supplied, so no TIN check was possible.
An empty result on a generic name is weak comfort. Generic names produce few exact hits, and sanctioned parties often trade under different names.
Risk assessment and what to request
- Jurisdiction: Delaware is a US state with a mature registry, but it allows owners to stay off the public record, so ownership is not visible without documents. Low country risk, opacity risk at entity level.
- Industry: Trucking, courier and brokerage are not among the highest money-laundering risk sectors, though freight brokerage can involve third-party payments. Medium to low. This is my judgement, not a sourced finding.
- Ownership: Unknown. This is the main gap.
- Overall: MEDIUM, pending identity resolution. It would fall to LOW if the documents below match and the owners screen clean.
Request from the customer: the Delaware certificate of formation or good standing certificate with file number, the EIN confirmation letter, the operating agreement or ownership declaration naming everyone with 25% or more, a US DOT or MC number if it is a carrier, the website, and a principal business address. Then rerun registry, TIN, and person-level sanctions and PEP screening.
