Pretrieve Business Search
Switch the text tab on the main Pretrieve page to business, type in the busines you'd like more information on (along with city and state), and here's what you'll get:- Financial Information: Look at UCC filings by debtor name, SEC filings, federally-excluded parties, and more.
- Legal and Government: Corporate registration records, patent records search, OIG excluded individuals or entities, etc.
- Trade-related information: The Council of Better Business Bureaus' Reliability Report and domain name registrations for that business (interesting to type in big names here, like Google or Yahoo).
- Research: Article citations and Web mentions of that particular business name.
- Miscellaneous: Kind of skimpy here; you can find out if anyone from that business is the registered owner of any aircraft.
