Connecticut Secretary of State Business Registry Search
The Connecticut business entity database is provided by the Secretary of State. All the information such as business details, filing history, and more are made available to the public and are free of charge.
You will be glad to know that it only takes a matter of minutes to acquire the details you need, most especially if you have most of the necessary information. There are a total of three methods you can use based on the information you have: by name, by business number, and by filing number.
If you opt to utilize the search by number, you’ll get a direct result, but if you want to search by name you can add a search criterion for better results. If you want to know more, read our step-by-step tutorial below:
