When you search "secretary of state ar business search," you're looking for this official database to verify business registrations, check entity status, and conduct due diligence on Arkansas businesses.

Using Arkansas Secretary of State business search and UCC

Arkansas routes public corporation and LLC lookup through the Secretary of State corporate search on ark.org (sos-corp-search). UCC financing statements use a separate UCC filing system (sos-ucc) that often requires a Tyler Arkansas account for online filing and subscriber search. Both are official Secretary of State services, but the URLs and login requirements differ.

SOS information

Arkansas business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Look up a corporation, LLC, or other registered entity

Search incorporations, cooperatives, banks, and insurance companies from one screen. You can filter by corporation type, search by entity or fictitious name, registered agent (including city and state), or filing number. Not all fields are required; enter at least one search term.

The same Secretary of State ecosystem links to certificates of good standing, bulk data, and special request tools from the corporate search footer when you need more than a basic lookup.

File or manage my business online

New filings, amendments, and good standing certificates are handled through Secretary of State business services, not the read-only search form alone. Follow the Business and Commercial Services pages for current filing options and any Tyler or AR-hosted filing portals the state links to from there.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

Arkansas UCC runs on the Secretary of State UCC system at sos-ucc.ark.org. Online filing and many searches expect a Tyler Arkansas account and electronic payment setup.

UCC filings (liens, financing statements)

The UCC Filing System supports new filings, amendments, and searches for subscribers. Read the agency FAQ and UCC division pages if you are unsure whether you need an account or how debtor and file number searches work in this system.

Tips if the site feels confusing

Corporate entity search (sos-corp-search) and UCC (sos-ucc) are different sites. Do not assume your UCC login works on the corporate search screen, or the reverse.
If the UCC site asks for a Tyler Arkansas account, that matches how Arkansas describes online UCC filing and subscriber access.
Keep a filing number or debtor name exactly as recorded when you have it from a prior statement.
Official answers on fees, forms, and deadlines belong to the Arkansas Secretary of State and your advisors, not third-party sites.

Form a business

Starting a business in Arkansas

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 Arkansas business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.

LLC filing (state): $45
Corporation filing (state): $50
Publication / notice: Not modeled as required for LLCs in this table.
