Minnesota Business Registry — Officers, Agents & Filings

Structured company data for Minnesota, straight from the state's official public business register. Search by name, pull whole slices of the register, or resolve a file number — and get back what actually matters for KYB, lead generation and diligence: who runs the business, who its registered agent is, where it really sits, and everything it has ever filed.

What you get for every business

Identity

• Registered business name and how the register classifies that name
• File number and the register's own record identifier
• Business type — LLC, business corporation, limited partnership, LLP, cooperative, nonprofit, assumed name — plus a simplified entityCategory you can group on
• The Minnesota statute the entity is filed under (302A, 322C, 333 …)
• Status (active / in good standing, inactive) with a clean isActive flag
• Home jurisdiction and a isDomestic flag separating Minnesota-formed entities from out-of-state registrants
• Original filing date, renewal due date and expiration date

Addresses — split into usable columns

• Registered office address, with street, city, state and ZIP as separate fields
• Principal executive office address
• Principal place of business address
• Mailing address
• A best-available city / state / zip so every row is mappable and filterable

People

• Registered agent for service of process — the single most requested field on any registry
• Every named officer, manager, governor, owner or applicant, each with their title and their own business address broken into city, state and ZIP
• Convenience columns: chief executive officer, president, manager, and the owner behind the filing
• Officer count, all officer names and all titles held, ready for filtering and enrichment

Assumed names (DBAs) — the owner behind the trading name

• Every assumed-name filing names the legal entity or person that owns it, with their address. That turns a storefront trading name into a real company you can sell to, invoice or diligence.

Corporate detail

• Authorised share count for corporations
• Every former name the business has traded under, extracted from the filing record
• Full filing history — original filing, amendments, name changes, mergers, conversions, reinstatements, administrative dissolutions — each with its filing date and effective date
• Renewal history with dates

Three ways to find businesses

Mode	Use it for
Name contains	Broad sweeps — every business with a keyword anywhere in the name
Name begins with	Complete coverage of a prefix; oversized searches are split automatically
File number	Resolving a known Minnesota file number straight to its full record

You can pass a list of names or file numbers, so one run covers many searches.

No silent truncation

The register itself will only return 500 rows for a single query and offers no paging. When a search comes back on that ceiling, this actor automatically re-issues it in narrower slices so the full result set is covered, and it tells you in the run log exactly how many searches had to be split. Nothing is quietly dropped.

Filters (you are never charged for filtered-out records)

Narrow before anything counts as a result:

• Active only · inactive only · both
• Business type or simplified entity category
• Only assumed names (DBAs), or exclude them and keep only registered legal entities
• City, ZIP code prefix, state
• Home jurisdiction · domestic vs foreign
• Filed between two dates — a ready-made new-business feed
• Officer name contains · registered agent contains
• Only businesses with a named officer · only businesses with a registered agent
• Minimum authorised shares

Anything filtered out is discarded before it counts as a result, so you only pay for the records you actually asked for.

FAQ

Do I pay for a run that finds nothing? No. You are charged per delivered business record. Failed runs, empty searches and filtered-out records are never charged.

Are contact emails and phone numbers included? The state register does not publish business emails or phone numbers, so this actor does not invent them. What it does give you is the officer, manager or owner name plus their address, which is what makes the record actionable.

Does it cover inactive and dissolved businesses? Yes — set the status scope to inactive or to both.

How current is the data? Every record is read live from the public register at run time.

Do I need a login, cookies or a proxy? No. Everything is handled internally.

Notes on coverage

• Dates are normalised to YYYY-MM-DD.
• Only information the register publishes openly is returned.
• Records are de-duplicated across searches within a run.
• Results are flushed as they are collected, so a stopped run never loses what it already found.
