Why trust LegalZoom to run this check?

We’ve helped over 5 million businesses navigate legal and compliance requirements. This check runs on the same data and attorney expertise that powers our full platform — and gives you results you can act on in 2 minutes.

Business compliance expertise

Our attorneys track filing requirements across all 50 states — so when something changes, we know exactly what it means and what to do next.

Data pulled direct from the source

We check your Secretary of State record and the federal trademark registry directly — not a cached database or third-party aggregator.

Results you can act on right away

Every finding includes an explanation of the risk and a link to a specific LegalZoom solution or partner, so you can act immediately.

How the check works

Three steps, around 2 minutes, from start to results.

1. Enter your business name and state. We pull your Secretary of State record and check the federal trademark registry automatically.

2. Answer a few questions covering common risk areas related to contracts, business licenses, insurance, finances, cash reserves, and structure. Takes about two minutes.

3. Get your results. See exactly where your business stands, with concrete next steps for each gap.

  • Results right away, no account required to read them.
  • No credit card, no account creation. Just your business name, state, and a few questions to get results.

Every finding links to specific LegalZoom services or partners, so you can act on your results immediately.

Every finding comes with a clear path forward.

We don’t just tell you what’s wrong. Each result maps to specific next steps forward — so you leave knowing what you can do next.

  1. State compliance status

    If your filing status is overdue or inactive, we can handle the annual report or reinstatement for you.

  2. Contracts and structure

    If your contracts or operating agreement need attention, attorney-drafted templates are one click away.

  3. Trademark and name protection

    If your name isn’t protected federally, we can guide you through the process of a trademark filing.

Why run a health check on your business?

The problem is invisible until it isn’t

Most compliance gaps, trademark conflicts, and contract holes don’t announce themselves — by the time you find out, the damage is already done.

The check is free, fixing gaps late isn’t.

A quick check today costs nothing — fixing a problem after the fact costs real money, time, and sometimes the business itself.

Stay focused on growth, not on cleanup

When you know exactly where your business stands, you spend your energy building, not putting out fires.

Your results are waiting.

Most business owners are confident they’re covered — until they check. Run the free health check and see where your business stands in about two minutes.

No account or credit card are required to view the results. Just your business name and state, plus easy answers to some questions.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Call us at (877) 344-1589

Is this check really free?
Yes. No credit card, no account required to see your results. We pull public records and ask a few yes-or-no questions — that’s it. Results are free and yours to keep.
What information do you need from me?
Just your business name and state. We pull your Secretary of State status and any registered federal trademarks automatically. The seven follow-up questions are all yes or no.
What are the exposure areas you check?
We ask a few targeted questions about key business areas: your legal standing with your state, federal trademark protection status, registered agent status, business licenses and permits, contracts and written agreements, business insurance, and your business finances. LegalZoom account holders can run a more detailed business health check at no extra cost through their account.
How is this different from just googling my business?
Googling your business status points you to the right websites. This check goes the rest of the way: it pulls your Secretary of State record and federal trademark data directly, cross-references them against compliance requirements and best practices, and tells you what needs attention and why.
What are the next steps I can take?
Each finding includes a specific next step. Some you can handle yourself. Others link directly to a LegalZoom service or partner — filing an annual report, registering a trademark, or updating your operating agreement. There’s no pressure to buy.
Does this check affect my business in any way?
No. We only read publicly available records. Nothing is submitted or changed on your behalf. This is a read-only diagnostic.
I just formed my business. Should I still check?
Yes — especially now. Formation is step one, but most businesses leave significant gaps in the first year. This check shows you exactly what to address before those gaps become problems.
How long does it take?
About two minutes. Enter your business name and state, answer seven yes-or-no questions, and see a results page on screen right away.
Will I be charged for the check or any results?
Never. The business health check is completely free. If a finding leads you to a LegalZoom service, those services have their own pricing — but reading your results is always free.
What are my options for next steps?
Each finding comes with a specific next step. For state business entity compliance gaps, we can file on your behalf. For contracts or operating agreements, we have attorney-drafted templates. For trademarks, we can start the registration process. You decide what to act on.
Is this available for all business types and states?
The public records check works for any incorporated business entity in the US. The additional questions apply to any business owner. Results appear on screen immediately after you complete the check.
Can I save or share my results?
Your results page stays accessible as long as you keep the link. You can also create a free LegalZoom account to save your results and track which gaps you’ve addressed over time.
Does LegalZoom help me fix the gaps it finds?
Every finding links to the right LegalZoom services or partners — from annual report filing to trademark registration to attorney consultations. You can go from results to resolution in the same session.

    Knowledgable LZ associate available!

    A knowledgable LZ associate was available on Sunday to answer my questions for a small start up company. I work my real job during the week...so I need to stay caught up on compliance items during the weekend. Having someone available is so helpful!

    Such a relief

    Was able to handle all my business compliance needs for transitioning residence to a new state. Clearly explained all the needed documents and filings with each state and handled everything for me. Huge piece of mind to not worry about compliance for my LLC while moving between states.
