A reader wrote me asking about Secretary of State databases.
I have been using Merlin Information Systems National Secretary of State Database, which can be found here
You do need an account with Merlin in advance, and they have a lot of databases that I don’t use, but I do like being able to search, by name, in all Secretary of State databases at once.
If you are looking to seach more economically, Chris Mildner shared this
The National Association of Secretary of States.
This site provides links to all fifty Secretary of State, and many have free searchable databases.
As I am sure most of you know, you can usually use these databases to confirm the existence of businesses and partnerships. In addition, some sites let you search by prospect name.
Enjoy!
