Look up any US company, in every state, at once.

Every state runs its own business registry, and they don't talk to each other. So the simple question, is this entity real, active, and who's behind it, means knowing which state to check, finding its search tool, and reading a record formatted differently from the last one. Do that across a vendor list and it stops being simple.

The cost of skipping it is real. Paying an invoice to a dissolved shell, signing with a company that lost its good standing, or partnering with an entity whose agent resigned are the kinds of mistakes that surface later as a bad debt or a legal mess, right when they're hardest to fix.

Business Search collapses all of it into one query. It reads the official registries across every US jurisdiction through the same pipeline File.Business uses to file documents, returns the status, state, and agent each state publishes, and lets you add any entity to a watchlist so you're told the moment something changes.
