Speaking on Business: Rasa Public Benefit Corporation

DEREK MILLER: This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Founded in 2022, Rasa Public Benefit Corporation helps people get a fresh start by clearing their criminal records. Using legal expertise and smart technology, they make opportunities more accessible, helping individuals, families, and communities thrive. Founder and CEO, Noella Sudbury, joins us with more. NOELLA SUDBURY: At Rasa we believe people should be judged for their potential, not their past. One in three adults has a criminal record, and for many, that record becomes a lifelong barrier to jobs, housing, and opportunity. We built Rasa to change that. We combine modern technology with lawyers to help people understand what is on their criminal record and if eligible, move through the legal record expungement process in a way that is affordable, easy, and human. Our platform guides people step by step, making the process simpler, faster, and more accessible than ever before. This work matters not just to the people we serve, but to Utah’s business community and beyond. Clearing records opens doors for qualified, motivated workers, strengthens families, helps employers address workforce shortages, and helps communities thrive. If you or someone you love is struggling with a criminal record, you’re not alone. Start today. DEREK MILLER: Rasa is changing the way Utah approaches second chances, turning legal obstacles into opportunities. Learn more about their services and impact at rasa-legal.com.
