The Nevada Secretary of State operates an online query tool so that users can perform a business entity search for-profit and non-profit entities. This tool will accept the user’s search criteria, match them to appropriately filed business records, then display all matching entities on the screen. The user only needs to select the concerned Nevada entity to view its public information.
