# Find Companies at an Address — Business Register Search

**Use case:** 

Send a street line and five-digit ZIP and get the companies a state's business register lists at that address, as principal office, mailing address or registered-agent office, one normalized record each. Use it to find companies sharing an office. Reverse search covers fewer states than company-name search; the run's COVERAGE record lists them.

## Input

```json
{
  "companyName": "",
  "companyNames": [],
  "states": [
    "FL"
  ],

  "streetAddress": "1200 South Pine Island Road",
  "streetZip": "33324",
  "entityStatus": "any",

}
```

## FAQ

### Which states support address search?

Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia.

### Which addresses does it match?

Principal, mailing and registered-agent office addresses. Street types such as Street and St are folded, but a suite number must match.

### Do I need a ZIP code?

Yes. Address search needs both the street line and the five-digit ZIP code.

### What if the list is longer than my limit?

Set maxResults to cap the rows a run returns and bills. When the list is longer, the last row and the run's OUTPUT carry a resume_cursor to continue it in another run.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/shelvick/business-entity-lien-search.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
