## FAQ

### Is the North Carolina business search free?

Yes. It is free to try with no account and no API key. Search is free on the API too and is never billed.

### Can I search by entity number?

Yes. Pass the state's file or entity number for an exact match, or search by business name to get ranked candidates with number, status, and address.

### What if my business is registered in another state?

A company registered elsewhere is in another register and will not appear. Pick that state, or use the full company search to choose the right register.
