About This Site

If you need to do corporate searches, you've come to the right place.  Coordinated Legal Technologies has compiled these links for legal professionals and others who are looking for quick access to the corporate information available in online searchable databases maintained by the Secretary of State for any given state.

The extent of information available in these online databases varies from state to state. In addition to corporate status and names of designated agents for service, the state may also offer searches by officer and director names, and UCC filing information. The data may also encompass limited partnerships or limited liability companies. Please be sure to check the hosting state entity for the specifics of the type of content offered and the time periods covered.
