Get in Touch With businessentitysearches.org/
We read every email. Whether you have spotted an error, want to suggest a topic, need to file a privacy or DMCA notice, or just have a research question that nothing on the site quite answers — this page tells you exactly how to reach the right person and roughly when to expect a reply.
Primary Contact
info@businessentitysearches.orgUse the subject-line conventions below so your message gets routed to the right reviewer faster. We respond from the same address.
Choose the Right Type of Inquiry
The Site receives a wide range of email each week — corrections, editorial suggestions, privacy requests, DMCA notices, press inquiries, and general questions. Picking the right inquiry type below (and using the recommended subject line) lets us route your message to the correct reviewer immediately and gives you a clear expected response time.
Corrections
Spotted a wrong fee, an outdated link, an incorrect agency contact, or a process that no longer matches reality? Tell us where and what should be there instead.
Editorial Suggestions
Topic we have not covered? State guide that needs deeper detail? A common reader question we have missed? We are listening.
Privacy Requests
CCPA, CPRA, GDPR, or other state privacy law requests — access, deletion, correction, opt-out. We honor all qualifying requests under applicable law.
DMCA Notices
Copyright infringement claims and counter-notices. Please follow the procedure documented on the DMCA Policy page so your notice meets statutory requirements.
Press & Media
Journalists, editors, and researchers — questions about our methodology, requests for sourcing, or interview inquiries.
Legal Notices
Trademark concerns, defamation claims, takedown requests outside DMCA, regulatory inquiries, or formal legal notices.
Advertising & Sponsorships
Display ads are managed through Google AdSense. We do not accept direct ad placements. Sponsored content inquiries handled case-by-case.
General Questions
Anything that does not fit the categories above. Research questions, feedback on the site, or anything else you want to share.
What to Include in Your Message
The faster we can verify what you are reporting, the faster we can act on it. The most useful messages tell us four things in plain language.
For Corrections
- The full URL of the page where you saw the error
- A direct quote or screenshot of the specific item that is incorrect
- What the correct information is, ideally with a link to the official source (Secretary of State page, IRS page, USPTO page, etc.)
- The date you encountered the issue, in case it has been fixed since
For Privacy Requests
- The right you are exercising (access, deletion, correction, opt-out)
- Your state or country of residence (so we apply the right law)
- The email address or other identifier you used when contacting the Site
- Any reasonable proof of identity we may need to verify the request
For DMCA Notices
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
- The exact URL of the allegedly infringing material on our Site
- Your contact information (name, address, phone, email)
- A good-faith statement and a statement under penalty of perjury (full required text on our DMCA Policy page)
- Your physical or electronic signature
For Editorial Suggestions
- The topic, state, or agency you would like to see covered
- The reader question you would have wanted answered
- Any official source you already know to be authoritative on the topic
What Not to Include
We never need — and we strongly discourage you from sending — Social Security numbers, dates of birth, government IDs, payment card numbers, EINs that have not been registered, or passwords. If we ever ask for additional verification, we will tell you exactly what is needed and why.
What This Email Is Not For
- Filing services — we do not form companies, file annual reports, or apply for EINs on your behalf
- Registered agent service — we are not registered agents and cannot provide that service
- Legal advice — we are not attorneys and cannot review your specific situation
- Tax advice — we are not CPAs and cannot review your tax position
- Investigation services — we are not licensed information brokers
- Records expungement — we cannot remove your information from third-party government records
- Background checks on individuals — see your state’s licensed CRA providers for permissible uses under the FCRA
Office & Mailing Information
businessentitysearches.org/ is a digital publication. We do not operate a public office, accept walk-in visitors, or maintain a customer-facing phone line. All inquiries are handled by email so that we can route, log, and respond to them properly.
If you need to formally serve a legal notice or subpoena that cannot be transmitted electronically, please first email info@businessentitysearches.org with the subject line “Legal Notice — Service Address Request” so we can provide an appropriate service address. For DMCA-specific notices, please follow the procedure on our DMCA Policy page.
Response Times at a Glance
All response times are best-effort targets in business days, excluding US federal holidays. Complex inquiries — particularly multi-jurisdictional privacy requests, contested DMCA matters, or legal notices requiring counsel review — may take longer. If we expect to exceed the standard window, we will write to acknowledge receipt and give you an updated estimate.
What Happens After You Write
Every email goes through a consistent intake process so nothing falls through the cracks.
Step 1 — Acknowledgement. You receive an automated acknowledgement that the message was received. For privacy and DMCA notices, this acknowledgement is sent by a person within two business days and confirms the inquiry has been routed.
Step 2 — Routing. Your message is tagged by inquiry type and assigned to the appropriate reviewer — editorial team for corrections and suggestions, designated agent for DMCA, privacy lead for data requests, and operator for legal notices.
Step 3 — Verification. For corrections, we verify your report against the official source (the agency page, statute, or filing in question). For privacy requests, we confirm we hold the data you reference and document our response. For DMCA notices, we apply the statutory checklist required by 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Step 4 — Action. Verified corrections are applied to the Site within five business days. Verified privacy actions are completed within thirty days. DMCA-compliant takedowns are processed under the timeframes set by the DMCA.
Step 5 — Reply. You receive a substantive reply describing what we found, what we did, and any further steps available to you (for example, the counter-notice procedure for DMCA, or escalation routes for unresolved privacy questions).
If You Are Not Satisfied With Our Response
We try hard to handle every inquiry well, but we do make mistakes. If you believe a response was inadequate, incorrect, or unfair, you have several options.
Re-open with the operator. Reply to our message and ask for an operator review. We will re-read the original inquiry and our response with fresh eyes within five business days.
Privacy escalation. If you are dissatisfied with how a CCPA, CPRA, or GDPR request was handled, you can file a complaint with your state attorney general (US), the California Privacy Protection Agency, or your national data-protection authority (EU/UK). Contact details are on our Privacy Policy page.
DMCA escalation. If you disagree with a DMCA outcome, the counter-notice procedure under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) is the formal next step. Details on our DMCA Policy page.
Legal escalation. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally are governed by the dispute-resolution provisions in our Terms of Service.
Connect With the Editorial Team
For ongoing readers — researchers, paralegals, journalists, compliance professionals — who notice changes in agency interfaces or fee schedules ahead of our scheduled review cycles, your tips are genuinely valuable. We make a real effort to incorporate verified reader corrections quickly and to credit contributors where appropriate (with permission and never publicly without consent).
If a state Secretary of State just changed its search portal, please tell us. These transitions catch us regularly, and a single email from a reader who has tested the new interface can save us a week of detection time. Send to info@businessentitysearches.org with subject “Portal Change — [State]”.
