Illinois’ Secretary of State – Business Search

One of the first and most important steps to starting your own business in Illinois is to visit the secretary of state business search page and perform a name search to choose a business name that will properly represent and benefit your LLC, Corporation, or Non-Profit. All important legal and business documents will depend on the name you choose after your Illinois business name search: such as your articles of organization or incorporation, loan documents, all contracts and agreements, any advertising and marketing material, business cards, company website name and much more. Doing a business name search in Illinois’s Business Entity Database and coming up with a catchy and memorable name could mean great branding and free publicity for your company, among many other advantages.

    Customer Review
    My attorney for 30 years. They really do more than just set up corporations. I needed somebody to help me out of a serious legal matter they were able to take on the case for less than 1/2 of what the other attorney was charging me. Become a member of their Club it's like a hundred forty bucks a year and you get all the free legal advice you want. What a cheap insurance policy. I am so glad that I have them on my side.– Roger Davis
