Using Arizona's Corporation Commission and Secretary of State tools

Arizona corporations and LLCs are filed with and searched through the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) Corporations Division, using the Arizona Business Center. Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statements are handled by the Arizona Secretary of State, not the ACC. The SOS information card below is for ACC entity search and filings; the UCC card is for the Secretary of State UCC application.

Arizona business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Look up a corporation, LLC, or other registered entity

Use the Arizona Business Center entity search for domestic and foreign corporations and LLCs on file with the ACC. Search options typically include business name and entity number; results tie back to public filings the Corporations Division maintains.

Name reservations, annual reports, amendments, and many other transactions are started from the same Arizona Business Center, not from the UCC application on the Secretary of State site.

File or manage my business online

Online filing for new entities, annual reports, and changes runs through the Arizona Business Center. Use the Corporations Division pages on the ACC site for step-by-step guidance and contact information if the portal is unclear.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

Arizona UCC searches and many UCC filings go through the Secretary of State's online UCC tools, separate from ACC corporation and LLC records.

UCC filings (liens, financing statements)

Use the Secretary of State UCC search application for financing statements and related records. Follow the prompts for debtor name, file number, or other search types offered in the app.

Tips if the site feels confusing

Decide first: ACC Arizona Business Center for corporations and LLCs versus Secretary of State for UCC. The domains and applications are different.
Keep an ACC entity number or a UCC file number when you have it; it speeds up repeat lookups.
If you only need good standing or entity status, stay in the Business Center entity search before opening UCC tools.
Official answers on fees, forms, and deadlines belong to the ACC, the Secretary of State, and your advisors, not third-party sites.

Form a business

Starting a business in Arizona

Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).

Typical state filing fees

These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official Arizona business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.

LLC filing (state): $50
Corporation filing (state): $60
Publication / notice: Often required for LLCs; we model a range of $500-$1,500 (varies widely).
Ongoing reports: No periodic entity report fee in our calculator model for LLCs (confirm ongoing requirements on the official site).
