What you get with a New Hampshire lookup
- New Hampshire SOS entity record — name, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent + address, principal office, and officers/managers where the state exposes them.
- USDOT / FMCSA carrier verification — for trucking deals, we pull the carrier's authority status, MC#, fleet size, MCS-150 history, and BASIC scores. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — every search runs the company name against the Treasury sanctions list. Clear-result PDFs are signed.
- DBA / Fictitious Name registries — surfaces the county/town clerk where this entity would file a DBA in New Hampshire, plus the statewide registry when one exists.
- One merged PDF — cover sheet + SOS record + USDOT snapshot + supporting docs, all in a credit-file-ready packet.
How New Hampshire files business entities
New Hampshire's QuickStart portal at quickstart.sos.nh.gov is one of the cleaner state SOS interfaces. The search returns Business Name, Previous Name, type, address, and registered agent in a single result — Previous Name history is a useful signal for shell-renaming patterns.
Official portal: New Hampshire Secretary of State (QuickStart) ↗
How DBAs work in New Hampshire
New Hampshire files Trade Names at the state SOS exclusively under RSA Chapter 349. Effective 2017, the SOS became the sole filer for Trade Names — older county and municipal recordings are no longer effective. Sole proprietors and entities both file through the same statewide system.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in New Hampshire
New Hampshire LLCs owe a $100 annual report fee. New Hampshire has no general sales tax and no state income tax, but it DOES have a Business Profits Tax on entities earning income in-state — a common surprise for newcomers expecting fully tax-free status. The BPT is administered by the NH Department of Revenue separately from SOS compliance.
Practical New Hampshire reference
Filing fees: $100 LLC formation fee + $100 annual report (same fee, easy to remember)
Officer visibility: Officers, managers, and registered agents are visible on the QuickStart detail page. Previous Name history appears inline in search results — useful for cross-referencing renamed entities.
