What data does Baselayer Auto.Complete return?
Last updated: October 9, 2026
Auto.Complete searches the same Secretary of State registrations that power Baselayer's business search. Each suggestion includes:
Business name, plus the DBA or other name that matched what the applicant typed
Home (domicile) state and the other states the business is registered in
Business structure, for example LLC, corporation or sole proprietorship
Related people and addresses, so the applicant can recognise their business
A token that identifies exactly that business. Pass it to your business search so KYB runs on the right entity.
A suggestion is a quick way to identify a business, not a full report. The KYB rating, TIN match, watchlist screening, liens and the rest of the profile come from the business search you run on the selected business.
