Corp Lens is a free public-records search service that helps people check businesses and organizations using data from state registries, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer. Its live search covers more than 9.2 million records, including over 4.2 million New York entities, over 3.1 million Colorado entities, U.S. public companies, and approximately 1.8 million nonprofits. Results from each source appear independently as they become available.

The service offers tools for checking whether a business name is taken in New York or Colorado and for looking up Colorado registered agents, including the entities represented by an agent. Users can also browse registry records, SEC filings and XBRL financial data, and nonprofit Form 990 information. Corp Lens provides guides on topics such as business verification, entity types, registration statuses, registered agents, and the limits of U.S. company registries. The company explains its coverage and data sources, and emphasizes that records are public information, registration status is administrative, and its content is not legal, financial, or investment advice.
