Kansas business records
Kansas businesses file an information report every two years rather than every year. Fees were restructured by regulation effective February 27, 2026: online filing is cheaper than paper ($85 instead of $90 to form an LLC or corporation, $90 instead of $110 for the information report).
The Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division keeps these records.

Questions
Is this the official Kansas business search?
No. This is an independent site, not run by or affiliated with the Kansas Secretary of State. The search itself runs on the state's own site (Business Entity Search), which this page links to.
How do I check if a business name is available in Kansas?
Search the Secretary of State's business entity search by name or business ID. A name can be held for 120 days with a Reservation of Exclusive Right to Entity Name, which reserves an entity name only, not a trade or DBA name.
