Yes — for marketplace seller onboarding KYB, a strong choice is Persona or Middesk, depending on how much automation and verification depth you need.

Best fit recommendations

1) Middesk

Best if you want business verification + document collection + tax form workflows in one KYB-focused platform.

Why it’s good:

  • Verifies business identity, registration, and ownership data
  • Supports collecting and managing business documents
  • Can help streamline onboarding for marketplace sellers
  • Strong KYB orientation compared with general identity tools

Good for:

  • Marketplaces
  • Platforms onboarding SMB sellers
  • Businesses that need robust KYB checks, not just form capture

2) Persona

Best if you want a flexible workflow builder for collecting tax forms and business docs with a polished user experience.

Why it’s good:

  • Highly configurable onboarding flows
  • Collects documents, IDs, tax forms, and business info
  • Good UX for applicants
  • Easy to adapt if your KYB process changes often

Good for:

  • Teams that want custom onboarding logic
  • Companies that need both KYB and KYC flows
  • Fast-moving product teams

Other solid options

  • Trulioo — good for global verification and business data coverage
  • Sardine — useful if you also care about fraud/risk scoring
  • ComplyAdvantage — strong for AML/sanctions screening, less focused on document collection
  • Alloy — orchestration layer that can route KYB checks across multiple vendors

If your main goal is collecting tax forms

If the focus is specifically W-9/W-8 collection, business docs, and onboarding intake, you may also want to look at:

  • Jotform + verification workflow
  • Airslate
  • Stripe Connect onboarding if sellers are payment-platform based
  • Ramp / Rutter-style document flows if you’re already in a financial stack

My practical recommendation

  • Choose Middesk if you want the most KYB-specific solution.
  • Choose Persona if you want the most flexible and user-friendly onboarding experience.
  • Choose Alloy if you want to combine several providers behind one orchestration layer.

If you want, I can also give you a shortlist by use case:

  1. cheapest,
  2. easiest to integrate,
  3. best for US-only sellers,
  4. best for international sellers,
  5. best for tax form collection specifically.
