This excellent LLRX.com colum has just been updated as of January 17, 2005. All 50 states make some level of corporate and business filings available online. In a few instances only limited information (such as name availability) is retrievable. The majority of the states, however, use their Web presence to disseminate a range of public business records -- and most of them offer access at no charge. This update reflects changes that have been made in the previously listed databases. The scope of this roundup does not yet include tax filings. Taxing authorities are mentioned for two states (Maryland and New Jersey) because they offer the only online route to business organization and trade name information in those jurisdictions. Unless otherwise stated, each database listed below is free. Before using an online public records database, it is always a good idea to look for a disclosure of how recently the information was updated. This has been added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and will be added to Business Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
