Running a Business Entity Search
To run a business entity search:
-
Choose Search and click Business Entity to display Business Entity Search.
-
Type an order number to Create an Open Order or Add Search to an Existing Order. If adding a search to an existing order, you must also click Add to Existing Order.
--OR--
Do not type an order number to perform a Non-Order Search.
-
Optionally type Order Comments or Starter Remarks.
-
Click
to Choose State, County, Company, Department, and Title Officer options.
Note: County is not included as an option, as a Business Entity Search is a state-wide function not tied to counties.
-
Type your name in Business Name. The system finds all listings that begin with the characters you type, so type portions of a name ("begins with") to display all permutations of that name.
-
If more than one name result is found, results will display in a pick list.
-
Click Begin Search to start the search. If you:
-
Chose to open an order, then TitlePoint creates the order with the appropriate search components. You can open an order by running a business entity search; however, results can only reside as Information-Only Components in orders.
-
Are not creating or adding to an order, then each search saves as a Non-Order Search.
-
See Using Business Entity Search Pick List for the next steps. How results display depends on whether you clicked Begin Search or Print Only.
Note: It is possible, and acceptable, for a Business Entity Search to yield no results. TitlePoint will respond with a "No records found" message.
