How do I get information on a corporation or other business entity?

 The Department of State's Division of Corporations maintains a computerized inquiry system containing the complete history of all active corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and limited liability partnerships and a complete or partial history of corporations in existence on or after December 5, 1977, and dissolved prior to December 31, 1984. The records of corporations that went out of existence prior to December 5, 1977, are considered inactive but are maintained by the Department. A written request must be made for these records.
