HOW TO PERFORM A BUSINESS ENTITY SEARCH?

Conducting a Business Entity Search is a crucial step for verifying the
existence, status, and details of a business. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how
to perform this search effectively:


1. VISIT THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S WEBSITE

Each state has a dedicated website for the Secretary of State where business
entity searches can be conducted. Navigate to the business section of the
website.


2. USE THE BUSINESS SEARCH TOOL

Most state websites offer a business search tool. You can search by various
criteria such as:

 * Business Name: Enter the complete or partial name of the business. This is
   useful if you know the exact or a part of the name of the entity.
 * Entity Number: Each registered business has a unique entity number which can
   be used to pull up the business’s details.
 * Registered Agent: Some states allow searches based on the name of the
   registered agent associated with the entity.


3. ADVANCED SEARCH OPTIONS

Many states provide advanced search options to narrow down the results. For
example, you can filter by:

 * Entity Type: Corporation, LLC, LLP, etc.
 * Status: Active, Inactive, Suspended, etc.
 * Date of Formation: Specific date ranges for the formation or registration of
   the entity.


4. REVIEWING SEARCH RESULTS

Once you perform the search, review the list of entities that match your
criteria. Details typically available include:

 * Entity Name
 * Status: Whether the business is in good standing, dissolved, or inactive.
 * Date of Formation
 * Registered Agent: Name and contact information.
 * Filing History: Documents filed by the business, such as annual reports and
   amendments.


5. ADDITIONAL STEPS AND RESOURCES

 * File Number Search: If you have the entity’s file number, use it for a more
   direct search.
 * Trademark Search: Ensure the business name is not trademarked by using the
   state’s trademark search tool.
 * Order Documents: Some states allow you to order copies of official documents
   like Certificates of Status or certified copies of filings.


PRACTICAL TIPS

 * Check Multiple Sources: Some states might require you to search multiple
   databases depending on the type of business entity.
 * Keep Records: Save or print the search results for your records.
 * Verify Details: Always double-check the business details, especially if you
   plan to engage in legal or financial transactions with the entity.

Performing a Business Entity Search can help ensure that you are fully informed
about the legal status and background of any business entity.

Whether you are looking to start a new business, engage in business
transactions, or verify business information, these steps will guide you through
a thorough search process.
