Connecticut business records
Connecticut annual reports are filed online at business.ct.gov, and an overdue report blocks a certificate of legal existence and can lead to dissolution; the business ID used across the system is the ALEI. A corporation's annual report costs $150, against $80 for an LLC, and the Secretary of the State publishes the full business register as daily open data.
The public record of every Connecticut LLC and corporation belongs to the Connecticut Secretary of the State, Business Services Division. The search on this page asks the Connecticut business registry open data each time you run it.
Coverage: Every Connecticut business entity, updated daily by the state.
What Connecticut calls the registered agent, the person or company that accepts legal papers for the business: Statutory Agent (Registered Agent). (source, checked 2026-10-26)
