A Business Entity Search is a free online tool provided by most Secretaries of State that allows you to look up registered businesses. You can use it to check if your desired LLC name is available or to verify the status of an existing company. Many searches also provide details like registered agent information and filing history. It’s an essential step before filing your Articles of Organization. Regularly checking your listing ensures your records remain accurate.
