A Nevada corporation search is best done
online on the web of the Nevada Secretary of State.
Whether you search for the name availability for a
new corporation, or just want to check the status
and other information about an already existing entity,
the business entities search page on the Secretary
of State's Customer Service Division's website is
the best tool for the job at your disposal.
Are you doing a corporation search for the name checking
purposes, as a first step in starting the incorporation
process of your company with the State of Nevada?
You will be glad to find out that the Secretary of State's website
is all you need to both check the name availability and reserve
the name chosen on the name reservations page.
Of course you can leave this first step out and directly file your
Articles of Incorporation and up to three alternate name choices
to the SOS office directly, but the search made beforehand might
save you possible problems.
You will also make use of the Nevada corporations search possibility
in case of looking to purchase an off the shelf corporation, or
looking for information about your business partners in Nevada.
If the former is the case, make sure to get as much details as possible
from your search.
One of the most important search results is the corporate status
of an entity searched for. Here is a list of the status abbreviations
and their meanings to assist you making the most of your search:
AF = Articles Filed
CL = Current List of Officers
DQ = Default
DS = Dissolved
EX = Expired
MD = Merge or Dissolved
NG = Terminated
PC = Partnership Canceled
PR = Permanently Revoked
RS = Removed by Statute
RV = Revoked
WD = Withdrawn
There are some details that you will have to check with the Secretary
of State's office directly, and some other that might be impossible
to find out. Do not forget that Nevada enjoys the reputation of
business environment with a high level of privacy protection.
