Why did my search match a different business than I expected?

The inputs you entered likely matched another registration more closely than the one you meant. Business names are not unique, and small differences in what you enter can move the match to a different entity, sometimes in a different state.

The usual causes:

• The name entered was a trade name, an abbreviation, or missing a word or suffix, and another registration matched it more exactly.

• The address entered was a mailing or office address that matches another entity’s registration better than the intended one.

Our patent-pending similarity logic has been trained over millions of searches to find the right business even in the presence of typos or abbreviations, which means Baselayer doesn't require exact inputs to find the right profile, but having the right inputs can help to improve accuracy in edge cases.

Entering the legal name and address as they appear in the state registrations increases the accuracy of the platform and ensures the right business profile is returned.
