Secretary of State

A Secretary of State search, or business lookup, is a type of online search that allows you to find information about businesses, organizations, and individuals that are registered with the Secretary of State's office in a particular state. The search serves to gather pertinent information related to individuals, businesses, and legal entities, providing valuable insights for background investigations.

You can utilize Secretary of State searches to verify the applicant's identity, to research the applicant's business history, and even to find out if the applicant is a registered sex offender. If the applicant is applying for a job that involves managing money or making financial decisions, you might want to research the applicant's business history to see if they have any prior bankruptcies or financial problems.

This information can help you assess the applicant's financial risk and make an informed decision about whether to hire them. Partnering with a professional background investigation provider is the most efficient method to conduct these inquiries compliantly. There are a number of websites and databases to search for businesses, organizations, and individuals by name, address, or other criteria. As a Private Investigator, CI is able to access information other providers simply can’t.
