About Utah business records
Utah's state filing fees are low (fee schedule effective July 1, 2025: $59 to form an LLC or corporation, $18 to renew each year). It also offers a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) entity type, formed with a $300 certificate of organization.
The Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code keeps these records.

Questions
Is this the official Utah business search?
No. This is an independent site, not run by or affiliated with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. 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 Utah?
Use the Business Name Availability search on the Division of Corporations site. It is only a basic check: a name is available only once the Division approves the filing.
Does Utah charge a franchise tax or a similar yearly tax?
Every C corporation incorporated, qualified or doing business in Utah files a corporate franchise tax return with the State Tax Commission and pays at least a $100 minimum (privilege) tax; the rate is 4.5 percent for tax year 2025.
