Customers needing a list of multiple businesses can use our advanced search to create a list of businesses under specific parameters. You can export this information to an Excel spreadsheet to sort and search more extensively.\n\n Below are the steps to perform this type of search. The more specified parameter searches provide narrower search results.\n\n Please visit our Corporations and Charities Filing System by following this link https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/\n\nScroll down to the \u201cCorporation Search\u201d section and click the \u201cAdvanced Search\u201d button on the right.\n\nUnder the first section, specify how you would like the business name searched. Only use this for single business lookups unless all the businesses you are searching have a common name (use the \u201ccontains\u201d selection). \n\nSelect the appropriate business type from the dropdown if you are looking for a list of a specific business type. For a list of a particular business type with a specific status, select that status under \u201cBusiness Status.\u201d You can also search by expiration date in this section.\n\nUnder the \u201cDate of Incorporation/Formation/Registration,\u201d you can search by start or end date.\n\nUnder the \u201cRegistered Agent/Governor Search\u201d section, you can search all businesses with the same registered agent on record or governor listed.\n\nOnce you have made all your search selections, click the green \u201cSearch\u201d button at the bottom right of the page.\n\nA list will populate; scroll to the bottom and select the green Excel document icon with CSV. An Excel document should automatically download. If you have popups blocked, please unblock our site, and try again.\n\nOnce you have opened the downloaded Excel spreadsheet, you can adjust the width of each column and sort the data using the data tab. You can also search by pressing CTRL+F on a Windows keyboard.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Search for businesses and charities with this web tool from the Secretary of State", "downloadURL": "https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/#/AdvancedSearch", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Advanced Business Search web page"}], "identifier": "https://data.wa.gov/api/views/f9jk-mm39", "issued": "2015-11-30", "keyword": ["api", "business", "charities", "companies", "corporations"], "landingPage": "https://data.wa.gov/d/f9jk-mm39", "modified": "2024-08-31", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "data.wa.gov"}, "theme": ["Consumer Protection"], "title": "Corporations Search (Washington state)"}
