This is a free Quebec business entity search built on the public business register — all 1,925,612 of them — that the Registraire des entreprises du Québec maintains. In Quebec, business entities are registered through the Registraire des entreprises du Québec rather than a Secretary of State, so that office is the register a "Quebec Secretary of State business search" resolves to. Search by entity name for an exact match or partial match, or by registered agent, officer or principal office address, and open any entity to see its entity status, entity type, registration (formation) date, entity ID and filing number and the registered agent and officer names on the public filing. Domestic and foreign entities, corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships and business trusts all appear together, and the directory below browses the same records by city and by registration year.
How to run a Quebec business entity search
The Quebec business entity search covers every Quebec business registered with the Registraire des entreprises du Québec. Enter your search criteria in the box above — a business name or entity name, a registered agent name, an officer or principal name, or a physical address — and choose an exact match or a partial name match. A standard search returns the entity name, entity type and entity status; an advanced search narrows by more search criteria; opening a result loads the full entity profile with the detailed information the Registraire des entreprises du Québec publishes. Use it to check name availability before you register a new business, to confirm an existing entity is active and in good standing, to find a company's registered agent, or to review the filing history and annual reports behind a Quebec company — the same records power a Quebec LLC search, a corporation search and a search by registered agent name, and match what the Registraire des entreprises du Québec's entity search returns.

- Entity name
- The legal business name as registered with the Registraire des entreprises du Québec. A name search matches exact and partial names; the profile also carries former names, trade names and assumed (fictitious) business names where the register files them.
- Entity ID & filing number
- The unique entity ID and filing number the Registraire des entreprises du Québec assigns each entity. It is the most reliable way to tell apart similarly named businesses and links to the entity’s filing history and filing images.
- Entity status
- Active, inactive, dissolved, revoked, withdrawn, merged, canceled or pending — the entity status the Registraire des entreprises du Québec records. An active status in good standing is the register’s own signal that an entity is current on its annual reports and filings.
- Entity type
- Corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, business trust or other form — Quebec recognises numerous business entity types, from a sole proprietorship and small businesses to large corporations — and whether the entity is domestic to Quebec or a foreign entity registered to legally transact business there.
- Registration & formation date
- The formation date the entity was formed or first registered, as filed in its formation documents. Browse the full directory below by registration year to see every entity formed in a given year.
- Registered agent & officers
- Where the Registraire des entreprises du Québec publishes them, the registered agent name, principal office address, principal name, officers and directors appear on the entity profile — the people and physical address on the public filing, not private ownership percentages.
Checking name availability before you form an entity, verifying a counterparty is active, or confirming a registered agent are the common reasons to run a Quebec business entity search. Netstate republishes the Registraire des entreprises du Québec filing and labels every field with its source; it is not a certificate of good standing or an FCRA consumer report.
Beyond the entity search: due-diligence records
The Registraire des entreprises du Québec filing is the corporate record. For fuller due diligence on a Quebec business, Netstate cross-references it against 60 other registers and 16 federal datasets in one lookup — so an entity search can surface trade names and assumed names, UCC filings (the security interests recorded against a company’s assets), business licenses and permits, and an EIN where one is on record, alongside the corporate filing. For consumer-facing complaint history, the Better Business Bureau and the state’s consumer-protection office hold records the corporate register does not.
