How the IBO Inventory Works: Available, Coming Soon, Sold and Masked Names

Packages on the inventory page are available (in stock, shipped the same day payment confirms), coming soon (not yet released) or sold. Names are masked until payment is confirmed; then the full name, the documents and the accesses are released. An open invoice does not hold a package: the first confirmed payment wins and other pending invoices are cancelled. Reserved holds are placed only by IBOCore; an order pause stops new acquisitions only.

The inventory page on the IBOCore site is a live grid of IBO packages: US companies with a nominee director, the IBO (Independent Business Operator), an EIN and a business bank account, all sourced and qualified in-house. Every card carries one of three statuses. Available means the package is in stock and ships the same day a payment confirms. Coming soon means it is not yet released and cannot be ordered. Sold means another merchant owns it. Company names stay masked on the grid, in the merchant dashboard and at checkout until your payment is confirmed. An open invoice does not hold a package: two merchants can each open one on the same available package, and the first confirmed payment wins. A reserved hold is placed only by IBOCore for a specific buyer, and a sitewide order-acceptance pause stops new acquisitions and nothing else.

What each card on the inventory page shows

The grid orders packages by status, available first, then coming soon, then sold, so what you can acquire today sits at the top. The page title says how many packages are ready to ship today; when none are, it says the inventory is releasing soon or restocking. Every card has the same shape whatever its status:

• A status badge: Available, Coming soon or Sold. Available cards also carry an Instant delivery badge: the company, the director, the EIN and the document pack already exist and are not waiting on a state filing or a signer search.
• The masked company name: the first and last letter of each word, stars in between. The entity suffix stays readable, so you can tell an LLC from a corporation before you pay.
• The opening date, as a month and a year: when the entity was opened, so the age it will have when you apply for a MID.
• The state of incorporation. Every entity is incorporated in the director's home state, where the director lives and holds a driver's license, never a Wyoming shell.
• The action: Acquire now on an available card, Releasing soon on a coming-soon card, Already taken on a sold card, and Orders paused on available cards while intake is closed.

The five statuses and what you can do with each

A package moves from coming soon to available when IBOCore releases it, and from available to sold the moment a payment on it confirms. Cancelling a pending acquiring invoice, by you or by IBOCore, releases nothing because nothing was held: the package stays available. If IBOCore had reserved it for you, the reservation is lifted. Reserved and closed packages never appear on the public grid or in the list of available packages.

Why the company name is masked until you pay

A full company name and a state are enough to find an entity in the state's public business registry. Masking keeps that record out of reach of visitors who have not paid, which protects the director attached to the package and the merchant who eventually buys it. The mask is the same everywhere: on the public grid, on the dashboard once you are signed in and approved, on the acquisition page and on the invoice. Once the payment is confirmed, the full name appears on your dashboard, and the package URL with the documents and the accesses is released the same day, on the dashboard, on the paid invoice and in your private Telegram group.

Once released, the documents show what any bank or acquirer will see: the director on the state filing, on the operating agreement and on the EIN letter, with the director's government ID and proof of address alongside. At the time of writing, under FinCEN's interim final rule of March 2025, domestic companies and US persons are exempt from beneficial ownership (BOI) reporting, while companies formed under foreign law that register in a US state remain subject to it. Verify current FinCEN guidance and take any question about your own obligations to a professional; IBOCore does not give legal or tax advice.

Two merchants, one package: the first confirmed payment wins

Acquire opens the acquisition page; confirming the order there creates a pending acquiring invoice in your name. It does not put the package on hold, so an unpaid invoice never freezes stock. Two approved merchants can therefore each hold a pending invoice on the same available package, each with its own deposit address and exact coin amount, and the package stays listed as available for both. From there the sequence is fixed:

1. You confirm the plan and the add-ons on the acquisition page; a pending invoice is created for the setup fee and any one-time add-ons.
2. You pick USDT or USDC on ERC20 or TRC20; the checkout shows a deposit address, the exact amount and a QR code.
3. The chain confirms a transaction on one of the invoices. That invoice settles automatically and the status updates on the page.
4. The package flips to sold and is assigned to the merchant who paid. Twelve monthly renewal invoices are scheduled, the first due 30 days after delivery.
5. Every other pending invoice on that package is cancelled automatically. The merchant who did not pay is not charged.
6. The full name appears on your dashboard, and the package URL with the documents and the accesses is released the same day.

Two consequences. An invoice opened yesterday does not entitle you to the package today: if you want a specific package, pay the invoice. And if your invoice shows as cancelled before you sent anything, the package went to another merchant; open a new invoice on another available package. You can cancel your own pending acquiring invoice from the invoice page, and opening a new invoice on the same package replaces the pending one, which is how you change the plan or the add-ons before paying.

The reserved hold and the order-acceptance pause

Two states sit outside the normal flow, and both are set by IBOCore, never by anything a visitor clicks. Reserved is an explicit hold on one package for one specific buyer, for example a package agreed with a merchant over Telegram with the invoice to follow. A reserved package does not appear on the public grid or in the list of available packages; the merchant it is held for sees it under their own companies in the dashboard. Only that merchant can open an invoice on it and pay; anyone else who reaches the checkout is refused with a message that the package is reserved by another merchant. An open invoice is not a reservation, and neither is a conversation.

The order-acceptance pause is a sitewide switch. When IBOCore turns it on, an amber notice appears on the inventory page and on the merchant dashboard: new orders are paused. The Acquire button on every available card becomes an Orders paused label, the acquisition page sends you back to the dashboard, and a new acquisition is refused even through a direct link. Nothing else changes: pending invoices stay payable, renewal invoices already scheduled stay payable, delivered packages keep working and the grid stays visible. While intake is paused, message your account manager on Telegram so your order is flagged when it reopens.

How to choose between packages

The four-step process on the homepage starts with a conversation on Telegram, and the inventory is where that conversation becomes concrete. Every package ships with the same deliverables and the same price, so the choice between two available packages comes down to three attributes on the card plus one that is not:

• Entity type. The suffix in the masked name tells you whether the package is an LLC or a corporation. For a merchant who needs a bank account and a MID the LLC is the default and the C-Corp the exception; the LLC vs C-Corp guide covers when a corporation is worth it.
• State. The director's home state, so also where the director's ID and proof of address point. Acquirers typically compare the address on the application, the ID and the state filing; a package where all three agree is what you are buying.
• Opening date. The month the entity was formed, the date an underwriter reads on the articles. Mention your application timing to the IBOCore team and ask which package fits it.
• Your vertical and volume. Not on the card. Every package sells at the same price, $999 setup then $2,999 per month, whatever the vertical; you declare it in your application.

Bring your vertical, your monthly volume, whether you have run MIDs or IBOs before, and whether you will open the MID through your own ISO or direct to an acquirer. The registration form asks for your monthly volume and your MID and IBO experience; the qualification step asks for business proofs, reviewed before the dashboard opens. No KYC, notary or travel is asked of you. Add-ons (bank pages at $2,499 one-time, merchant account consulting at $899 per month, the document template pack at $499 one-time) are chosen at checkout and do not depend on the package. Ongoing billing starts 30 days after delivery on the package; the timeline guide covers that date and the 30-day activation window in full.

Questions merchants ask

Can I see the full company name before I pay?

No. The name is masked on the public grid, in the list of available packages, on the acquisition page and on the invoice; only the entity suffix, the state and the opening month are visible. The full name appears on your dashboard once the payment is confirmed, and the package URL with the documents and the accesses follows the same day. The masked name already tells you whether the package is an LLC or a corporation; anything else goes through the IBOCore team.

What happens if someone pays for the package while my invoice is pending?

Their payment settles, the package flips to sold and your pending invoice is cancelled automatically. You are not charged. Open a new invoice on another available package; the plan and the add-ons are picked again at checkout. If you had already sent funds before the other payment confirmed, keep the transaction hash and message your account manager on Telegram with the invoice number.

Does a coming-soon package let me reserve it?

No. Coming soon is a preview of what is being finished; the Acquire action is refused until IBOCore releases the package, and no invoice can be opened on it. A reservation is a hold placed by IBOCore for a specific buyer, not something a card offers. Tell the IBOCore team which package you want; once released it becomes an available card and the first confirmed payment wins.

Concrete terms: IBO, MID, DBA and KYB

An IBO (Independent Business Operator) is the US-resident officer on your entity. A MID (Merchant ID) is the processing account an acquirer assigns once underwriting clears. Your DBA (doing business as) is the billing descriptor cardholders see on statements; vague DBAs drive friendly fraud disputes. KYB (Know Your Business) is the acquirer review of ownership, website, refund policy and processing history before a MID goes live.

• EIN: US tax ID; every MID application references it.
• Authorized signer: the person legally accountable on bank and processor paperwork (your IBO).
• Personal guarantor: US-resident with SSN whose credit file the acquirer pulls.
• BOI report: FinCEN beneficial-ownership filing; must match reality.
• Package URL: the document bundle IBOCore delivers same day after acquisition.

Mistakes that cost operators their first MID

1. Hiring a $300 Telegram signer with no contract or credit file.
2. Listing a signer who is already guarantor on a dozen fresh MIDs (velocity flags).
3. Skipping BOI or hiding the real owner from FinCEN.
4. Expecting same-day processing when only the LLC was delivered, not the IBO layer.

FAQ: quick answers

How fast can I get an IBO package on IBOCore?

Available inventory ships the same day after payment. You receive Articles, EIN letter, registered agent details, bank onboarding pack and signer contact through your merchant dashboard. Processor onboarding typically follows over the next one to two weeks.
