The Secretary of State Business Services Division hosts online business search and UCC search on bizfilings.vermont.gov under separate paths. Use business search for registered entities; use uccsearch for financing statements. Same domain does not mean the indexes are the same.
Vermont business entities & Secretary of State workflows
Open business search and use name, business ID, or other filters the form provides. Review status, registered agent, and filing identifiers on the detail view. Read Secretary of State disclaimers before you rely on the index for legal or lending decisions.
Formations, annual reports, and amendments use the filing paths the Secretary of State links from bizfilings.vermont.gov and sos.vermont.gov. Follow published fees and any login requirements before you pay.
Financing statements & lien search
Use the UCC search path for debtor and file-number style searches the index supports. Match legal names to how parties filed. Confirm on the live site whether you need a certified search or copies and follow the division fee process.

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