California Business Database

The California Business Database provides a searchable directory of businesses registered in the state of California. The site allows users to look up companies by name to find information such as the entity number, registration date, company status, jurisdiction, and the listed agent's name and address. This service primarily aggregates public records from the California Secretary of State and presents them in an accessible format. While the focus is on business entities, the inclusion of agent names and addresses can expose personal information, potentially linking individuals to specific business locations. This exposure could be misused by individuals for unsolicited marketing, spam, or potentially to find contact information for individuals associated with a business. To minimize risks, business owners and agents should be aware of what information is publicly listed and can utilize business addresses rather than personal ones where possible.
